This frothy romantic comedy from Korea begins with Kyun-woo (Cha Tae-hyeon), a ne'er-do-well college student, meeting a very drunk girl (Jeon Ji-hyeon) on a subway platform.

After he helps her onto the train, she promptly vomits on another passenger's head (twice) and then passes out. Since everyone else in the train car assumes that she's his girlfriend, he carries her to a hotel room to sleep it off. Another series of mishaps brings a police raid while he's in the shower, and thus begins a wild roller coaster rise of a relationship. The rest of the move has her putting him through a battery of often humiliating tests to prove his love. Near the end a revelation about her past briefly drives them apart, but a twist of fate brings them together for a happy ending. ~ Tom Vick, Rovi

Critic Reviews

Felix Vasquez Jr., Cinema Crazed
An entertaining and sad time warp romance comedy...
Jeremy Heilman, MovieMartyr.com
Whatever small flaws might exist in My Sassy Girl, the charismatic leads make it more than worthwhile.

Hopelessly cliche, yet effective.
Jennifer X

asian movies are SO fake.
Luke B

A cute and adorable Korean teen comedy. Not in the same vein as American teen comedies. There is a lot of heart here, and it makes me go all warm and fuzzy inside.

great love story....

I really enjoyed watching this movie. The relationship is developed, the acting is great, and it gets quite emotional at times. Beautiful story about love and true love.

South Korean romantic comedy and a mega-hit in Asia about a boy meeting a bossy crazy girl and falling for her. I was a bit apprehensive going in, as i have a fairly low tolerance of bitch-dressed-up-as-loveable. One person's quirky and charming is another person's someone give her a good slap please. And the heroine IS a mixture of sweet and slappable, but then so is the hero, so I guess it balanced out nicely. So ... I think you'll like it. Bet its a million times better than the US remake anyway.

I love to watch Korean movies,but My Sassy Girl I found it so annoying. The lead characters were so annoying. I think a man should never hit a woman, but a woman should never hit a man also. The abuse the guy had to endure from this Sassy Girl in the movie was incredible and still he… More
I love to watch Korean movies,but My Sassy Girl I found it so annoying. The lead characters were so annoying. I think a man should never hit a woman, but a woman should never hit a man also. The abuse the guy had to endure from this Sassy Girl in the movie was incredible and still he kept running after her.I guess if the roles were reversed like My Sassy Guy, and the guy was abusing the girl, I was sure that the movie was not popular and had caused rage from female viewers. My point is, I did not find the hitting part in the movie to be funny. The movie was also too long and they keep dragging about the same for too long. Simply not my type of movie.

This film is one of the greatest Romance/Comedy movies ever made. It's a heartwarming poetic romantic adventure from start to finish.

Great romantic comedy. Blows away anything in America.

one of my favorite love stories! the movie was about two people whose meeting was a bit "embarrassing" and "unconventionaL". there were a lot of sweet moments, mostly coming from the male lead. the female lead looked very innocent and you wouldn't be able to think that she isn't capable of doing the things she has done to the guy, like making him remove his rubber shoes for her to wear it and have the guy wear her heels. even if she seemed to be a bit brutal, you can't help but smile at how cute she makes it look. there were also some tear-jerking scenes and the "twist" towards the end of the movie will make you believe in the word "destiny" all the more. all in all, it's a perfect date movie.

Very original unconventional love story. Kinda long, but worth the wait.

Moving and lighthearted, this Korean romantic comedy negotiates wonderfully through both the ridiculous (and disgusting!), the sorrow, and the romance in a memorable way. The lead actors are great, although they veer towards slapstick at times. Great exploration of fate and destiny… More
