Like many people who have already wrote reviews, I stumbled upon the Hollywood remake and listened to the many comments here to watch the original. Thankfully, due to the horrible existence of torrent websites, I managed to find a great copy, subtitles -- you name it. Classic example of the old adage.. can't see the forest for the trees...This same logic applies to this film... like some critics I've read -- you can criticize the movie for it's offbeat story telling, borderline abuse, and use it to show people relationships to AVOID...And Frankly, just as all of us can't be Astronauts or Presidents -- not everyone is mentally present enough to see the forest.Like others have said, I've never seen such a romantic movie without the standard use of nudity, kissing, and language. I'm the same in my life -- I don't feel the need to tell people I love them -- I would expect people to know that from our actions.I don't trust people's words as people lie... people just lie. However, when you're sick and someone sends you a text saying "I hope you get better soon!" -- that's nice, but when when someone drives to your house to check on you -- that's on a whole other level.ACTIONS MATTERAnd this movie carefully constructs a bridge between people who were "raised like girls" and those of us who have trouble expressing how we feel in traditional ways. Many people around us don't fit into the social fabric and show how they care in ways that many of us do not perceive.Many people pursue the opposite sex for qualities similar to themselves instead of understanding that opposite people marry up nicely and fill each other out.So. If you understand all of that... you will love this movie as there isn't anything else out there that comes close to capturing the nuances of human feeling.

Absolutely beautiful movie that is a hands down must watch!Don't let the first five min deter you. This is charming, funny, yet actually deep movies. It explores grief, sympathy, love, understanding, how to be a friend, and helping those in need. It playfully reminds you about your youth, growing up, dealing with pain and sorrow and many other strong motifs. I found it rather profound for a rom com. Korean scripting and acting is just top notch in this, and the sound track is equally as powerful. I burst out laughing many times, cried a few, and enjoyed nearly ever min of this fabulous K-drama/romcom. a must watch

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.

Mother of true Romance! A genuine masterpiece.I just saw it and I can not just ignore it or forget to type a review.This movie is so vivid,so powerful! It is about 2 people meeting under strange circumstances and what comes of it.Gianna Jun along with Tae-hyun Cha give an excellent performance. I used to think that korean cinema(followed by Chinese first and Japanese after) were the masters of police dramas and that was all but after seeing this movie,the first movie from Jae-young Kwak that I watch, I got a clearer view.These are movies addressed to our souls.The people that play,the characters they create they all have souls and they make sure we get the grasp of them from the start to the end with the most vivid way. No more to say,cause only you watching this will make you understand those feelings. 10/10 and I hope I see more of those actors and director in the future.p.s.I am not gonna watch the American remake of this.A remake of this movie makes no sense,furthermore an American one.Don't ruin those movies please!
