So much average
How sad is this?
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Crazy First Love is a comical portrayal of the unforgettable first love, which is part of everyone's life. Through naive but sincere-hearted Son Tae-il, who fights alone for his first love till the end, the true meaning of love is again wakened. Cast and crew members prepared 12 months to complete Tae-il's very own "Defend Your First Love Guide"? and now, through the secrets are ready to be handed down to those who are in need of guidance. His guidance and advices are simply invincible! This summer, every love battle will be won and the first love will be protected!It is a romantic comedy about people experiencing love for the first time in their life. Aside from that, it also presents characters in a funny way on how they take their relationship into the next level. Added to that, it provides the viewer the clear difference between friendship and love. The acting was great in this film. Cha Tae Hyun and Son Ye-jin were effective as the comic characters that are falling in love for the first time in their life. Also, the supporting cast were complementary to the leads' performances. Aside from that, the story has a great theme about love despite of being a romantic comedy.
Okay, so most of the other reviews are making comparisons with My Sassy Girl. Why the heck would you compare a romantic comedy to My Sassy Girl? Which was/is the best romantic comedy to date(Most people would agree). Any romantic comedy compared to My Sassy Girl would of course be not up to par.I give this a 8/10 or so. The story was actually not a bad one. The ending is somewhat a cliffhanger and allows the viewer to determine what happens(which I don't personally like in a movie) but whether it be a happy or sad ending it was still pretty good. This definitely deserves better than a 5.1 though. I would say it have at least a 6.0 Everyone is complaining about Cha Tae-hyun's character just screaming to be funny. Well, that is his character in the movie, that is his personality so I don't know why you would complain about it. Also, Son Ye-jin's character is supposed to be a crier. If any of you had the slightest clue of why she did what she did then you would understand why she cried so much. Yun Dong-geun did a great job as well. His character changed dramatically because he became better friends with Cha Tae-hyun.People need to look deeper into a film than just judge the general film itself. Why the heck bother to write a review if you do not fully understand the movie's plot.
being a person of Asian descent, i understand the cultural context from which movies like this arise. i can also see how this humor will either be incomprehensible or offensive to unfamiliar viewers.that being said, even though son ye-jin is my fav korean actress right now, and the "man's man" inside me might be giddy at the fact that she momentarily wears a bikini in this "film" - like Brian T. said, the misogynistic and patriarchal undertones of the movie are just too blatant.we Asian people can do better. as Asian men, we can do better for our sisters, mothers, daughters - than to assume roles like the father and son-in-law characters in this film.
The synopsis of the movie is mentioned in other reviews, so I'm just going to tell you what I didn't like about this movie. It's far too inconsistent and what starts off as a light comedy - in the mold of say, My Sassy Girl or 100 Days with Mr Arrogant - skews into soap-opera melodrama at the drop of a hat, with all players involved shouting and crying their way through proceedings. Tae-hyun Cha, who was pretty good alongside the fabulous Ji-hyun Jun in My Sassy Girl, is mistaken when he thinks that screaming at the top of his voice constitutes good comedy while all Ye-jin Son has to do is stand around and cry a lot. If you like shopping for the odd Oriental movie on auction sites and are looking for a nice comedy, I would recommend either of the previously mentioned titles, including Spy Girl and the 2 My Wife is a Gangster movies.
