My Sassy Girl
This is a review of the greatest movie ever (according to me at least =P) found on a webbie-->
"My Sassy Girl" is based on an on-line serial written by Kim Ho-sik that detailed his relationship with his off-the-wall college girlfriend. This was eventually compiled into a best-selling book and caught the attention of director Kwak Jae-young, who wrote the script for the film. The story kicks off with college student Kyun-woo crossing paths with a drunk girl on a late-night subway. Just before she passes out, the girl looks at Kyun-woo and calls him 'honey'. The other passengers, assuming him to be the hapless girl's boyfriend, demand that Kyun-woo look after her. After carrying her on his back for what seems to be miles, Kyun-woo drops the girl off at a motel. But instead of leaving her and getting on his way, Kyun-woo finds himself intrigued by the nameless girl and vows to do whatever he can to heal her sorrow.
Unfortunately, he gets far more than he bargained as he becomes wrapped around the finger of this strange girl, whose dramatic
mood swings are outmatched only by her penchant for
sociopathic behavior. When they dine out and Kyung-woo orders anything but coffee, she barks her mantra "Do you wanna die?" and then promptly changes his order to coffee. When her feet begin aching from walking, she forces Kyung-woo to switch his comfortable running shoes for her high heels. And being a budding screenwriter, she demands that Kyung-woo read her wacky treatments, or else face an
ass kicking. However, despite these
crazy antics (not to mention landing in jail a few times), Kyun-woo finds himself
hopelessly hooked on this 'sassy girl'. And though the girl seems to relish in humiliating and belittling those around her, it becomes clear that underneath the
brash exterior is a wounded soul who holds a genuine affection for Kyun-woo.
I had actually wanted to write the full story according to my recollection of the movie but realised it will take me quite awhile to complete it...hee...so I've decided to leave it till some other time...maybe tonite....and i think i can write a review on that movie pretty well since i watched it like a dozen times already...haha.......sassy girl sassy girl....waiting for my sassy girl.....
