Story: First of all, while this is a romantic comedy, it is much more than that. I have yet to see another romantic comedy that would make me feel so much heart break and pain and make me bawl my eyes out. Usually only sad movies such as A Millionaire’s First Love do that to me. I didn’t know so I’m giving you a fair warning. Grab tissues ahead of time.
This story has one of the best female characters ever. She isn’t too girly and naive like the girl from You Are My Pet. This girl is tough and not afraid to beat someone up. Her personality is very extroverted and yet you can see the pain she is in. Because of all the pain she is in, she often drinks to try to forget it all.
That’s where the male lead comes in. He just happens to see her while she’s drunk and stops her from possibly falling in front of the subway. His personality is more submissive and he always does what she says. The times when he tries to assume the dominate role it never works out. He usually ends up in jail. But it’s because the two of them are like this that you start to fall for them the way they did for each other. You don’t realize it at first, you’re just laughing at all the crazy stuff going on, wondering what the hell else could she make him do, and then you’re crying and getting angry with the two of them.
I should mention, that the female lead likes to write. The scenes where he reads her scripts weren’t the best. As he reads them, they are acted out. They were obviously supposed to be really badly written and completely full of cliches. For me that was the only negative, but I could care less in comparison with the rest of the movie.
Music: It was all beautiful. The orchestra did a great job. It honestly felt a little ‘royal’ to me. I’m not sure how to explain it, hmm. I kind of feel like it should be playing as background music during tea time in England. I hope that helps, I’m, sure it doesn’t. But it was all sweet and flowed very nicely.
Cast/Acting: They were so great together. It’s not every day you see a great movie about a couple where the girl constantly beats up the guy and assumes the dominate role. They were sweet and cute, even when she was beating the crap out of him. Cha Tae Hyun and Jun Ji Hyun should act together again.
