The plot is simple. It's about a rivalry between two aspiring actresses (Nozomi and Lana) competing for a leading role in a movie. They share an apartment (2 bedrooms with living room, dining and kitchen), in which this film is confined to. Nozomi is a quiet, shy, small-town, anal-retentive girl, who wants to make something of herself. While her roommate Lana is an attractive bimbo, b-rated star seeing this as her last opportunity to stardom. Both girls have issues. Nozomi didn't want to follow her sister's foot step of marrying a guy and fall into a typical Japanese wife role. At the same time, she's finding it's hard to attain the guy she want. Now Lana ridden with guilt because she had a relationship with a married man (she didn't know he was married) which lead to the suicide of his wife and baby. With stress and pressure of only one going to get the leading role in the movie the friction between them increase, as they head spiral down in despair.
2LDK started out very well. This is a minimalist movie, though the battle scene dragged out a little too long with little to added to the story. I just wish that they could show the escalation a little better. "Battle of the Roses" did a better job with the escalation. "Battle of the Roses" is just a better movie (unless you're looking more Asian style violent). Both actresses seem to play their part pretty good. The first 15 minutes of the film was really good...I really enjoyed the dialogs. The production is good, without anything out of place or lacking.
Bottom line: It's a minimalist version of War or Roses with more violence.
