Unique in one Character Speaks English and Others Answer in Korean - predictable yet cute

8/10 is my rating. This is a 107 minute South Korean romantic comedy movie that goes also by an alternate title "Seducing Mr. Robinson". It was released in 2006 and is unique in one character speaks mostly English throughout the movie while others speak back to him in Korean.

Min-June (Uhm Jung-hwa) is a hopeless romantic who gives all her heart to each relationship only to be hurt when the guys reject her. On the eve of her latest break up she stumbles into traffic and is hit, ironically, by a man that turns out to be her new boss. When she explains why she was not paying attention, Robin Heiden (Daniel Henley) is full of advice on the game of love which he sees as a win or lose power struggle between the couple. Desperate to change the outcome of her relationships Min-june originally listens to Robin until she decides that his methods are not for her.

Spoiler Alert ** I liked the unique quality of him speaking English and her, and others, speaking South Korean. It was cute if predictable. As short as it was there was little time for much depth to the story. It reminded me of the United States movie "He's Just Not That Into You". I forgot I had seen this actress in "Witch's Romance" and really liked her in that. If your expectations are not too high, and you are okay with little complexity or character development, it is good for what it is.
