As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
Wow! This movie is amazing of a life of Boeun and Sangmin. Who have to live together. One is adorable, and one is a pervert. One likes a cute baseball player, and one likes chicks. One likes hating, and one likes being weird. One is a good girl, and one is a playboy. Funny, what a couple. One betray, and one is not. Boeun ending up loving Park Sangmin when she remembered their memory. One has a sick brother, and one has perverted friends. How shall they come together with all of these? Well, let's find out in the movie "My Little Bride". Well, Boeun was my most favorite movie star anyway. If you see this movie, you will be fill with 100% laughing!!!!!!!!
While My Sassy Girl still to this day sets extremely high standards in the Korean and non-Korean romantic comedy cesspool, more films go through the lab of sometimes unfair comparisons and unforgiving expectations. Oh, people still enjoy them, no doubt about that, but the "great original" portrait of My Sassy Girl hangs high as a true testament of perfect mix of comedy, romance and melodrama.This film is no different from all the other romantic comedies from Korea, as it makes you yearn for the same feelings that you attained while and after viewing MSG. The story of course is completely different. Sang-min is a college student planning on prospering his carefree dating life and Bo-eun is his 16 year old childhood pal who has a crush on a boy from her school. Next is Bo-eun's grandfather trying his best to get them marry each other against their will. Keep the age difference in mind, which in no way should be viewed as a "gross" endeavor, but merely as a cultural difference. While this movie lacks supernatural enigmas and over the top action, it easily makes up for it with great chemistry between the two leads.Geun-young Moon's performance was especially interesting to note here after her completely different outing in A Tale Of Two Sisters. Rae-won Kim is no rookie to playing such roles and he did a refreshingly good job here as well.Another fine accomplishment in this film is delivered through its length, which stands at almost two hours. It lets the story gradually develop along with its characters, making all transitions and actions feel well paced and believable.If before watching Korean romantic comedies you know each time what exactly you are getting yourself into, then don't hesitate to give this movie a try. Although predictable like the majority of light romantic comedies, it offers good laughs and a rare hand in the character development, making the viewing time effortless and vastly enjoyable without hackneyed emotions and unfit melodrama.
This is a romantic comedy in which a 15yr old girl, Boeun, and a guy in his mid twenties, Sangmin, are married under arrangement circumstances. At a superficial level this movie was funny, warm and entertaining. However the underlying theme that it seemed to convey was a bit questionable and even a little creepy. By the end of the movie are we supposed to feel OK about guys in their twenties being romantically involved with 15yr old school girls? In my opinion it kind of makes Korean males look bad. Is there such a large demographic of sex-crazed pedophiles that a movie was made to somehow justify such things? It may not seem that serious on the surface, but that is exactly my point. This movie seems to take this serious subject and morph it into some cute little story where we're simply supposed to watch and laugh and think, "How cute"
I enjoyed this movie, it was definitely fun to watch and I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in Korean language or culture, or just wants a good romantic comedy. This movie tells the story of two young people who are forced into arranged marriage because of the wish of a dying relative. It shows how the two deal with this situation that has happened against their will, and has many humorous moments showing the scrapes they both get into as they try to tolerate being around each other without fighting. However, this movie is not so amazing that I would want to own it, or re-watch it over and over. A bit too clichéd for me, as well some of the characters (namely Sangmin, the male lead) just didn't appeal to me, although I found Boeun to be very cute! If you're looking for a movie that stands apart as simply fantastic in this genre, I would suggest 'My Sassy Girl'. 8/10
