I liked it. I'm not someone who usually likes a lot of Korean drama, I mean, usually I find them more trouble than they're worth so this is the possibly the fist Korean movie I can truly say I enjoyed.
A lot of parts though had me cringing, especially the female lead's attempts at seduction cause every time she came up with an idea I would close my eyes and be like "This can not end well." But it was really funny, though it'll probable make you feel embarrassed for her.
Her reason for doing, well, what she was doing, I found a bit weird and lacking, but I realized the whole honor issue is a big deal in most Asian countries and I've actually seen something like that in another drama so it didn't really bother me much.
Anyway, so I gave the story a ten cause though it's quite usual and ordinary,the transition and pacing was good and easy which I cant say for a lot of dramas. The acting I found really good. The female lead acted out her part really well, that I was actually able to sympathize with her character in most parts (some not so much) and the male lead not only spoke very convincing American English, he also played his part really well. I mean, some might say that his face had a lack of expression at some points but that's because that was the character he was playing. He is a cold ruthless business man, he can't be expected smile or cry at everything he feels. I was actually able to tell what he was feeling even with the "lack" of facial expression which i think is remarkable. His acting was really good, and most of the actors did a really good job.
The music for me was very unusual cause i have never heard music like that in a Korean movie before so i was actually really pleased it seemed to fit. I mean it sounded a bit americanized at first but when i realized it was actually Korean, i was like "Hmm, cool." So the music was a very big plus for me and very appropriate.
Would I watch this again? Maybe, probably, yes. 'Maybe' because i usually don' like to watch things where the female lead makes a fool of herself, but 'probably' because I liked the movie, and the characters. I didn't find the transition from English to Korean, awkward at all.
Basically I jumped into this without reading the reviews but I'm happy about that because I found that most of the faults mentioned I didn't notice till I read the reviews so I actually enjoyed the movie. And it was funny too.
so yeah, I would recommend this. It's really good :). Good enough to inspire me to write my first ever review on my drama list. Hurray :D
