Best movie of this year hands down!
Hadrina
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Kien Navarro
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Wow where to begin, I am not a native Korean, I do not understand the culture nor the language so for me, a full dive in to something like this was pretty nervy, and to be honest 10 minutes in to the movie I was regretting my decision, but as the movie progressed, I became attached. I was liking it fairly. the Movie had it all. The main actor was not someone I normally see in movies, he didn't even look like he was right for the part but as the movie progressed even he made me smile, laugh, upset, and angry. He is a wonderful actor, do not let the beginning fool you, as for the lady, wow, she was amazing, I really think she nailed every part in that movie. The story - boy meets girl? yes... but there is so much more. You can't help but get attracted to them, some times you want to choose sides but you end up likening them as equally. the movie makes you cry in some parts (well done Jun Ji Hyun) the movie makes you laugh in so many places (both as funny in that) the movie makes you smile, warm, happy and the ending leaves you very satisfied, yes the old man is tad confusing but you forgive the mistakes and pretend it doesn't happen. Some really cheesy line. but you like them, the 10 rules is really sweet and you think to yourself it's cheesy but you would still like it. You start to think some parts drag on and they do, but you would more than likely start watching more Korean movies you you give this one a full watch.I started this movie years back, it's still among my best, the "prequel" that isn't a prequel is again some really amazing acting but No way close as good as this movie. It's truly a magical movie. the first watch is always the best but gosh you can watch it 4 or 5 times in one day and still feel it's worth.

It is true that women in South Korea have experienced great social changes in recent years but a lot needs to be done to completely change public perception which prevails due to the sexist mindset of South Korean society. If one were to watch 'My Sassy Girl' in the context of views stated above, any viewer would notice that this film portrays a very positive image of a Korean woman. It is one of the very few films which shows a south Korean woman as domineering. For a film which lasts 2 hours, director Kwak Jae-Yong focused on making it an absolutely entertaining flick with numerous elements of South Korean culture. Anybody familiar with it would not fail to note its depiction of teenage prostitution and love motels. It is important to note that these are just some minor elements which steer the film towards its ultimate destination-an impossible love story between an innocent young man and a whimsical damsel who is away from any kind of distress. There are no dull moments in the film as the narrative has been loosely structured around three different parts. The brilliance of actors is reflected in these parts as equal importance is given to both the unfolding of drama and the development of romance between the leading players. Lastly, nobody can deny that a lot of thought and preparation has gone into the making of this film. However, as it is said that actors are the artists who help a film to be sold far and wide, a brief yet important mention must be made of this film's lead players namely Jun Ji-Hyun and Cha Tae-Hyun.

I watched this film thinking it was going to be a boring romance film, instead it turned out to be one of the funniest films I've seen. The jokes were very simple and are the sort of thing you'd see in a children's film, so avoid this film if you don't like slapstick comedy.The film is about a young man called Kyun-Woo who meets a drunk girl on the train, she pukes on a man's head and the man thinks Kyun-Woo is her boyfriend. Kyun-Woo is rather shy and just goes along with it, the girl then proceeds to faint and Kyun-Woo has to take her to a hotel for her to stay the night. Which is just the beginning of an adventure he had no idea he was away to take part in.The film's based on a blog of the events that happened between the blogger and his girlfriend, however later on he admitted that it was all made up.

My Sassy Girl is an adorable film. The two main characters are quite lovable, especially the male lead. At first, I disliked the woman. I thought she was mean and unreasonable, but that was before I got to know her better - as cheesy as that sounds. Her character development is extraordinary, too.The film is very sweet and happy - and there's nothing wrong with that! I myself am not too huge a fan of rom-coms, especially after the line up of crappy rom-coms after their golden age in the '90s. However, I quite liked this film. It made my day a lot better, and I'm not ashamed to admit that I felt like tearing up in a few scenes of the movie. Well, maybe I am a little bit.
