    This Kim Ha-Neul vehicle is often compared to "My Sassy Girl", though the character of the film is a little different. Like "Please Teach Me English" and "Ally MacBeal" this film incorporates CG thoughts in it for comic effect. In general this is an effective romantic comedy - no...( read more)t as funny perhaps as some films, but still a nice film to relax to.

    The story was generally about a rich rebellious guy named Ji-Hoon, who was still trying to finish high school, his parents hired a tutor named Su-Wan, a woman who came from a poor background. He fell for his tutor, some martial arts fights,a love-sick girl who is after him, his ...( read more)attempts for ditching the lessons, and you may generally guessed the whole story. It's a romantic comedy with some fight scenes, great visual humor and a lot of love spark, thanks to the good chemistry between Kim Ha Nuel and Kwon Sang Woo, that brought a lot of energy to the story. The romantic elements also worked because of that reason.It started slow and near the end it picked up a bit again. Overall, a funny, cute film..

    I watched the second movie first, and it was a real funny, yet fresh comedy so I wanted to see the first one because it's the original... The movie itself very funny, using the unusual story about a relationship between a tutor and their student, but not in an official way like i...( read more)n a school, college, university or something like that... Kim Ha-Neul and Kwon Sang-Woo played well as a couple in this movie, really gave a good show, especially Kim Ha-Neul, she's very funny... Actually, I think that they maybe can cut a little part of this movie because it's too long, especially in the middle, I get a little bored... But overall, it's a fresh and delightful Korean comedy... But I still love the second movie...

    The poster might mislead you, like it did me. It's just important to disregard the poster altogether, and you'll like the movie anyway.

    This movie to me is like your average Korean romantic-comedy. Tough guy, and no-nonsense girl, High school bullies, even gangsters. Characters...( read more) so unlikely to get together, in the end fall in love anyway. You kinda predict your way through it, but getting to the end is the fun part. Though, I really thought his realization (that he actually does like her) was kinda abrupt. He got jealous out of nowhere.

    A little longer than I expected, but overall, if you like the 'lightness' of Korean cinema, then this is a movie for you.
