My Sassy Girl

I am many years too late for this movie, but I don't get out much.
The bottom line for this movie is that persistence pays off in the end. And that Korean guys get some major thumbing! :)

I really did enjoy the movie, from the "school uniform" dance outing, to the quasi-vomiting face of the guy, to the part where he tries to chat up the girl of his dreams ("'Hey baby...your English is so good!'"), the movie had lots of quality scenes, and tied up the ends quite well.
It was sappy, but in a feel good way, and that "I Believe" song is the bomb! Can someone sing that at our next Karaoke?

The only question is why did the aunt want to introduce to the girl a guy that looks like her dead boyfriend? I find that a bit strange. Wouldn't you want to get over it by at the very least meeting people that don't look the same??

Damn! seven cheap calls already:

geez, you ARE living in a time capsule :P
That movie is the reason im soo into korean flicks. Although im finding a very strange trend that korean gals are PSYCHO and super demanding. Makes us other gals look like angels :P ding! *halo lights up over addy's head*
other cool korean flicks - My tutor friend and the series Full House.

hey kc, i know how you feel about scary movies, but how do you feel about violence? *grin* watch "oldboy" - it'll leave you disturbed for awhile :P and stay away from "save the green planet"...

Violence not too bad, but from what you are saying I assume those movies are of the excessive category?

"oldboy" is a tad on the violent side, a tad on the squeamish side, and deep into the disturbed side. watch it! but you might look at beck differently by the end of it :P "save the green planet" is just insane. not worth watching...

i recently (and regrettably) stayed up to watch some korean movie on sbs (i did cop a bit of titty for my effort) which was about this couple who make a road trip and as a gesture of goodwill, give this hitchhiking dude a lift. the ungrateful hiker refuses to leave them alone and at one point breaks into their hotel room from memory. if u think that's bad enuff, by the end of it, he kidnaps the woman and when the husband hacks into him a thousand and twelve times, he's still alive. i seem to recall something about a cattle prod up where the sun don't shine, or maybe that was another sbs classic. just when it was REALLY time to sleep the pyscho is hospitalised and the couple decide to exercise one of their lives by visiting him, at which point he wakes up and it starts all over again. ultimately both mr. brain tumours and wife die and said husband becomes a nutter himself -- the final scene being him being discharged from a mental unit and hitchhiking with another unsuspecting korean couple.....

moral of the story? korean pron just ain't worth it.

That is some weird shit....what does "exercise one of their lives" mean? Is that an option to bank in?

My Sassy Girl taught me a lot about how to get Korean girls. I remember this one date, I went in for the kiss TEN TIMES. Every time I was met with a wall of tightly-closed lip. Then finally on the tenth time her lips softened ever so slightly. That's when I knew she was mine. Bear in mind that this girl had told me throughout the date that she wasn't interested in me at all because I wasn't Korean, that she could only have feelings for Korean guys, that she was saving herself for her future husband (who was to be, you guessed it, Korean), and that she wasn't interested in me at all because I had a playboy aura,...

Though I wouldn't go so far as to say that persistence "pays off" when it comes to Korean girls. Rather that it's a necessary part of the dating process, to push yourself past what would normally be "confortable" by Western dating standards. So make sure the girl you are trying to get is worth it!

(and as a general rule which applies to all women, alcohol helps).

Anyway, most of you girls are getting on in years, so you're probably old enough to just on the Yon-sama wagon, part of the mythical Korean Boom in Japan at the moment. Read here for details:

Anyway, I'm no specialist by any means. We need to get the full details from Richard S. :)
