My Sassy Girl

Adorbs!

A romantic comedy made so good, I have to make a post about it. Released in 2001, this movie has become the starting point of hallyu wave. This movie is flawless. The stories, actors, songs, and the comedy came together so well it ended up becoming one of the movies we can't forget for a lifetime.
Everything about this movie is memorable, even after 13 years people still talking about it. Starred by popular actor, Cha Tae Hyun (I can't help it but love all of his movies) and Jeon Ji Hyun (biggest drama in 2014, My Love From Another Star).

It started with their weird meeting at a train. The Girl, played by Jeon Ji Hyun, got drunk and barf on top of an old man's head. Before she passed out she called Gyun Woo (Cha Tae Hyun) as her boyfriend. He was forced to take responsibility of the drunken girl. Gyun Woo took her to a motel. Tomato potato, there was a big misunderstanding and Gyun Woo was taken into a jail.

Gyun Woo's bad luck didn't end just like that. The girl asked to meet up and Gyun Woo explained that it's all just a big misunderstanding. He should say it's not entirely his fault but who can get angry at this face.

The Girl

This girl became a major part of Gyun Woo's life. She took him into her ride of craziness. Gyun Woo can't say no because this girl is quiet violent. I can't count how many times Gyun Woo got slapped in this movie... They have been into many mess together. One that is most unexpected when they sneaked into an amusement park at midnight (Gyun Woo planned a birthday surprise for The Girl) and met a runaway soldier. They were being held as hostages and even receiving death threats. Both of them being freed safely but Gyun Woo got slapped because he said to kept the girl as hostage instead of him. His birthday surprise for the girl failed completely.

Gyun Woo's and the girl's relationship never made clear. He can't say that they are dating, but if he said they were just friends he got slapped.... Damn woman...

One day the girl waited for Gyun Woo at his university. All of his friends cheering him for having an incredibly beautiful girlfriend. Gyun Woo was in a good mood. But not for long.... The girl asked him to exchange shoes with her. She was wearing heels! He couldn't say no and ended up chasing her in heels...

Her parents didn't give their blessing because Gyun Woo had no plan for future. Since then their relationship never been the same. The girl went to a blind date and asked Gyun Woo to come. He didn't want to because he is also in a date with another girl. But when he found out that his date actually had penis.... He went to the girl's blind date. When the girl went to the bathroom, he told the girl's date 10 rules to date her. The girl's date told her everything that Gyun Woo said. When hearing these 10 rules the girl came into a realization that Gyun Woo cared about her more than she knew. He said to never let her drink more than three glasses, always order coffee, being an expert at kendo, exchanged shoes with her when her feet hurt and many more. She chased him (I cried A LOT at this part). They kept on missing each other but they meet up again by fate. He hugged her but then he got slapped instead.

They went to a mountain and the girl asked Gyun Woo to go to the hill accross them, just out of curiosity. When Gyun Woo was afar she said "I'm sorry. But this feeling is too strong. I'm sorry Gyun Woo" The girl can't get over her previous boyfriend and she didn't want to be with Gyun Woo while she is still in love with her ex. The went to a tree on top of a hill and buried a time capsule. They made a promise to meet again after 2 years under the tree.

Gyun Woo went all by himself...

In the two years period Gyun Woo changed himself into a better person. He learned how to swim, play tennis and do kendo. He wrote his stories with the girl on blog and ended up being filmed. All he did were for the girl. He came back 2 years later, but she didn't. He open up the time capsule and finally knew the truth about the girl's ex. He died. The day she met Gyun Woo is one year after the girl's ex death. The reason she messed around Gyun Woo is to find her ex in him. She made Gyun Woo did all the things her ex did to her. But more and more she spent time with Gyun Woo, she liked him more and felt like she cheated on her ex. That's why she asked for two years. It's to get over her dead boyfriend.

The girl came back after three years. She has completely moved on but she felt it's too late to get back together with Gyun Woo again. She met an old man that explained to her that a year back the tree was struck by a lightning and split into two. There was a man who plant the exact same tree just because he didn't want a particular girl to be sad. The girl cried and tried to reach out for Gyun Woo but she failed.

Years later the girl met with her dead boyfriend's mother. She wanted the girl to meet his nephew and hoping the two can date. Surprisingly the mother's nephew is Gyun Woo. Both of them smiled at each other. The two of them really can't escape the fate. The girl said "I already met the man of my future"


That is all!!! The recap of My Sassy Girl. This movie is a must watch for all the reason we are living. This movie combined comedy, romance, and tragedy in the most amazing way.
