one of my absolute favorites!

Good concept, poorly executed.

Best movie of this year hands down!

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Beautiful film, one of my favorites,one of the finest screenplays in modern films, must watch if you are a fan of ROMCOM's, This cleverly scripted comedy covers a lot of territory in its two-hour running time, containing enough material for at least two movies. I can honestly say that I cannot choose a favorite character because both characters have their good and bad qualities that complement each other so well. The romance part of this movie is what really hooked me. I am such a weakling when it comes to unconventional romances because I actually think the more uncommon the romance, the more realistic it is. These two are certainly an eccentric pair but in a way their romance is so natural.Sure it has pretty over-the-top moments, but that is what makes it funny. It is romantic, funny, unusual, and so unconventional that I would definitely say it is a perfect representation of what every film in the romantic-comedy genre should strive for. I would say see it, or, in the words of the sassy girl, "Risk death!"

Inspired from the true story of an individual who described his relationship with his girlfriend on the internet which was later adapted into a book, My Sassy Girl tells the story of Kyun-woo; a young bloke who happens to meet our unnamed girl & after assisting her once develops a deep sense of responsibility for her and while enduring her crazy behaviour eventually ends up falling for her. I'm not a big fan of romance genre but My Sassy Girl was a fresh & fun experience, nonetheless.Entertaining throughout its runtime, hilarious to most extent, heartwarming in bits & uplifted to a much better status solely by the show-stealing performance by actress Jeon Ji-Hyeon, My Sassy Girl comes with its share of flaws but is still a better romantic story done when compared to what Hollywood churns out most of the time.Honestly directed, brilliantly written & superbly performed although it did slow down for few moments in the second half, My Sassy Girl is a pleasing adaptation of a true life story and is a refreshing change to come out from South Korean cinema industry which is more notorious for its violent revenge thrillers.

I am a Korean who are living in the US. I haven't got a chance to watch this Korean movie in the last 12 years and today I watched this movie.The following is from other review that raise some questions and I want to answer as best as I can. *(review)I didn't think the characters were developed properly. (my answer) - Some Koreans are very blunt and rude. Those rude people may not act that way in front of foreign visitors, but they do among fellow Koreans. The lady characters depicts those typical rude Korean very well in the movie. Of course it is unusual to see those rudeness among female Koreans than male Koreans( very commonly seen in males in fact ) any Koreans would remember one of those rare female version from their memory back in school. It is just like you would remember a typical dorky guy like Napoleon Dynamite character from your school days if you were raised in the US. Kyun-woo, the male character is quite common in Korea in comparison to the female rude character. Probably 1/3 of my classroom in my middle school /high school years were filled with those timid boys, who would have acted stupid just like the guy did in this movie. This guy knew that the lady was beautiful and those typical timid Korean male don't even have guts to claim that she is his girl friend. Only another "rude" and confident alpha male type of Korean male can act properly to claim her as his girl friend in Korea. That why Kyun-woo looked so stupid as if he was just doing acting by the script. He has been meeting this beautiful girl with a doubt in his mind that she wouldn't hang onto this relationship with him the moment she regains her sanity from whatever trauma she was in. *(review) The two leads never have one meaningful conversation or seemed to be based on any degree of reality.(my answer) I can see the point and frustration. True. That's why the movie has a cultural limitation to convey the human emotion. It speaks a different language from those spoken in the Western World. I enjoy Western movie more because most of the time, Korean melodramas are depend on the out-dated sentiments too much to the point of extortion. But this movie has at least an original story. And this is as real as it can get in Korea. I am speaking this as a Korean who were born and raised in Korea before I came to the US at 32. If you read Korean news paper in Korean, you wouldn't believe what happens in Korea everyday. It is a very different society from Western world. The conversation, custom, story is not far-fetched from reality in Korea.

I just finished the movie and it definitely is a feel-good movie. But, I am at loss to explain the high rating in IMDb as it is like any other good Jennifer Aniston or Sandra Bullock movie ( which means movie is great and you will enjoy it but the rating falls between 6 to 8).The boy in the movie, Gyeon-woo, is a simple fellow with a lot of feminine traits (like he is the one who wants commitment, he is the one who is beaten up, is scared of parents n of bunking classes etc..)and the girl is very hot and sexy but utterly unfeminine!! She gets super drunk and pukes on people, hits the guy in jest and yeah, stands up for "social issues". Gyeon-woo starts to have feelings for her and has a really sweet way of taking care of her. The girl just broke up with her boyfriend and starts to hang out with Gyeon-woo. Gyeon-woo realizes that she is hurt and sad but pretends to be happy in front of him. He wants her to be happy and takes care of her so that her sorrows hurt no more. They spent a lot of time together and most of their scenes are cute and funny and definitely not boring. The movie goes on like a romantic comedy till the last 30 minutes when it becomes super romantic but a bit too melodramatic/ unrealistic. But this is based on real life so maybe such things do happen. My verdict is this is definitely a good watch..especially on a lazy day with your friends/ partner as you will enjoy it but be warned, its not the classic-type that the ratings project it to be...
