I read somewhere that the original was better and that if you liked it, you would find this one falls short to expectations. So, if you're planning on watching something that copies or exceeds the original, consider yourself forewarned.



Since I have not seen the original, I have to say I really enjoyed it. Then again, it was the first time I watched an all-action-packed Korean film.



The relationship between the main characters and the lengths they go through to show us the meaning of loyalty and "family," while everyone gets beat up, shot or blown up was surprising. Never thought I would feel emotional watching something like it.



The end...well...makes you glad it is finally over. I think it deserved a better finale and that the director just got tired and wrapped everything up by deciding to have everyone act out of character.



I don't really believe that the "rewatch" value should be considered as "brilliant", but I would watch it again.

Probably one of the best romantic comedies ever made, "My Sassy Girl" definitely delivers where it counts. I watched the movie after it being recommended by a friend; almost didn't watch it because it was made a decade ago; but in the end am so glad I did.



I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of this film. The lead characters are superb in their acting, and the lead guy's character is to die for! He doesn't leave much of an impression in the beginning, but trust me, he'll become your favorite by the end ^___^

The main character, "the sassy girl" whose name we never find out btw, is excellent! I've never seen a character like hers. Truly refreshing!



The story revolves around the innocent guy meeting "The sassy girl" and their life afterwards. Filled with comedy and heart warming moments, this movie made my day! Hope you will enjoy watching it as much as i did :)

Definitely a classic ^_^



p.s My rating on the music is just a formality. Frankly i did not even notice what music was there in the background. Was enjoying watching the movie too much!

From what I understand, this was a rather buzzed about movie. I cannot say that I enjoyed it at all. It took me three weeks to complete, because I didn't want to continue watching it.

I remember seeing Ikuta Toma in Hana Kimi, and I thought him rather good. But, what can I say. He's a Johnny Boy. It might have been the most shallow and boring acting under my entire drama obsession. The only reason why I'm giving the acting a 3, is because the supporting actors did such a good job, trying to hold it together.

The plot was rather interesting, but at the same time boring. The same thing happened over and over again. And the things I wanted to see more of were barely there. Everything was shallow and unexplored.

The music left no impression on me, whatsoever. I can't remember it at all. That usually means that it was mediocre and boring.

I would not rewatch this even if I got paid. I was really disappointed with it. If you are hesitating about viewing it, don't! You will receive absolutely nothing from it and you will leave with a taste of beige in your mouth. Grey-beige.

This is one of the most beautiful movies I have ever seen. And I mean visually stunning. Each frame is like a picture. The colors are well balanced and vibrant. Liberties are taken with historical accuracy, in order to present this atmosphere that blends fantasy and realistic history. It features wonderfully performed music that fits its "fantastical history" feel. The story line is melodramatic, but I think that would appeal to us drama addicts :)

Yun-Fat Chow does an amazing job of inviting you in to his character while keeping a cool and aloof distance. Li Gong does well as the Empress, but the rest of the cast is unmemorable.



In a nutshell: Visually appealing if you like bright, ornate visuals, but may be too flashy for some. The story is melodramatic which can sometimes be boring.

This is an amazing film. I can't even put into words how thoughtfully and carefully the casting, acting, direction, and cinematography were executed. This movie is depressing. It is also very quiet and can feel slow to some people. The only reason why I gave this movie a 5 for Music is because there isn't really any. I would have given it a 10 out of 10 for sound production because each noise contributes to engulfing you in the children's world.



In a nutshell: Great film for people who like quiet, thoughtful films. Avoid if you like fast paced movies or do not want to cry.

This is, by far, my favorite movie ever.



I have to admit, the reason I watched it in the first place was for Jaejoong, but it ended up exceeding far beyond my expectations.



The story line is so great and really impacting. This movie has everything: humor, sadness, happiness, romance. It's great!



And can I just touch on the actual visual part of this movie? Every scene is absolutely beautiful, especially the field scenes. WOW!



This movie was so good, as soon as I saw it, I had to order the DVD, ha. By now, I've watched it at least 10 times and it STILL hasn't gotten old. And I still cry because of it, too. :P



Overall, I couldn't have asked for anything more of this movie. I honestly can't think of anything negative to write. It's fantastic and I highly HIGHLY recommend it.

This movie is great! I enjoyed the story line, which is both funny and also a little sad at times. I really didn't expect the ending AT ALL, but I feel it was a nice twist.



The only thing I didn't like, and this is a matter of opinion, is the fact that the baby had a voice-over. Yes, it added more humor to the movie overall, but I think if the funny voiceover was left out, some scenes would've been much more impacting. Again, this is just my opinion and preference.



Overall, I loved it and I'm actually thinking of rewatching it soon since it's been a while.. :)



I would DEFINITELY recommend this movie to any and all!

Really an enjoyable movie! Jang Geun Suk really shot to the top of my fav actors list with this. The cast was great especially the baby. This movie is short and sweet. I really had fun watching it, and laughed many times. The movie is optimistic without being unrealistic. I think that is probably the best thing about it, it was funny but it also showed how difficult things can be, especially when a baby is involved. I found the ending particularly interesting, it was unexpected and yet it was satisfying! Definitely watch this movie, you will not be dissapointed!.

God! I can\'\'t stand the main actress..I find her so annoying. The story is funny and all but I can\'\'t get past the fact that the actress\'\' voice is like the sound of fingernails scraping a chalkboard(she gives me a headache every time she opens her mouth). Also the character she plays doesn\'\'t make her any likable, she\'\'s soooooo rude, no manners at all. I can\'\'t stand people like her. It ruined the movie for me. I hope I won\'\'t have the \"luck\" to hear her any time soon. Other than her, the story is good and Lee Dong Wook is as wonderful as ever. Even the supporting actors are doing a good job. If her voice doesn\'\'t annoy you..you should watch the movie..it\'\'s actually a good one.
