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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
