View More"Min Jun" (Jeong-hwa Eom) is preoccupied while driving on her way to work one morning and accidentally rear-ends the car in front of her which is stopped at a red light. When the driver, "Robin Heiden" (Daniel Henney) gets out to collect her insurance information Min Jun (aka "June") pretends not to be able to speak English. As luck would have it Robin sees through her ploy and after obtaining the necessary information continues on his way. That same morning June is taken to meet the new manager of the conglomerate in which she works and it turns out that her new boss is—Robin Heiden. Obviously, it's just not her day--and things are about to become even worse. Now rather than give away any more of the story and risk ruining the film for those who haven't seen it I will just say that this was a pretty good Korean romantic-comedy. I especially liked the performance of Miss Jeong-hwa Eom who was both funny and adorable as well. In any case, provided a person doesn't mind watching a film in another language with English subtitles then this is a fine addition to the rom-com genre and definitely worth the time spent. Above average.
View MoreI was not very sure about this movie. The name was tempting, but the lead actor and actress were new for me. I decided to give it a shot nevertheless. And oh boy! I was not disappointed. I have already seen this one twice - because its one of those movies that you can see again and again without getting bored. The comedy timings are perfect. The chemistry between the lead pair is very convincing. The character of lead actress is such that anyone can relate to it. And the guy is hot!! The plot - its unique one and the source of all the fun here. It has all the ingredients to be an awesome movie - and it just is. Treat yourselves.
View MoreI really think the previous 2 reviewers must be related, paid endorsers or something of the kind.....To say that this film is "Fantastic" is really the overstatement of the year! It was so boring, I really, honestly struggled and pleaded with myself to get to the end of it, just because I hate leaving things unfinished. Very predictable, uninspired.... all bad things combined! I don't think it took more than 1 week to film.... The dialogue was probably written by a 5-year old! The greatest professional achievement of the female lead is that she tells a completely irrelevant story, out of the blue, so that she can "save" a business deal ?! and after that they all act like she should get the Nobel prize or something! seriously?! Daniel Henney cannot act to save his life! I always got the impression he didn't understand what he was replying to..... and it probably the case.... Uhm Jung-hwa is a very good actress, and it's a shame she didn't get the chance to show it. Complete waste of time!
View MoreKorean movies has made a stellar rise in quality in the 21st century much like the way Hong Kong movies did in the '80s. This movie is one of the best example of these excellent Korean movies.A very likely story of a girl going through love troubles, and a very unlikely story of her getting involved with the head of her company comprises the plot of this funny, and very well made movie. The movie has drama, comedy, romance, and good acting. Production is super clean and each scene has opulence to it.The drama, and romance is as good or better than any Hollywood movies produced. It's envious that people of Korea can contemplate on making a movie with romance like this. This movie is a must see if you are an Asian drama, or a romantic comedy fan.
