Probably one of the best romantic comedies ever made, "My Sassy Girl" definitely delivers where it counts. I watched the movie after it being recommended by a friend; almost didn't watch it because it was made a decade ago; but in the end am so glad I did.



I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of this film. The lead characters are superb in their acting, and the lead guy's character is to die for! He doesn't leave much of an impression in the beginning, but trust me, he'll become your favorite by the end ^___^

The main character, "the sassy girl" whose name we never find out btw, is excellent! I've never seen a character like hers. Truly refreshing!



The story revolves around the innocent guy meeting "The sassy girl" and their life afterwards. Filled with comedy and heart warming moments, this movie made my day! Hope you will enjoy watching it as much as i did :)

Definitely a classic ^_^



p.s My rating on the music is just a formality. Frankly i did not even notice what music was there in the background. Was enjoying watching the movie too much!

From what I understand, this was a rather buzzed about movie. I cannot say that I enjoyed it at all. It took me three weeks to complete, because I didn't want to continue watching it.

I remember seeing Ikuta Toma in Hana Kimi, and I thought him rather good. But, what can I say. He's a Johnny Boy. It might have been the most shallow and boring acting under my entire drama obsession. The only reason why I'm giving the acting a 3, is because the supporting actors did such a good job, trying to hold it together.

The plot was rather interesting, but at the same time boring. The same thing happened over and over again. And the things I wanted to see more of were barely there. Everything was shallow and unexplored.

The music left no impression on me, whatsoever. I can't remember it at all. That usually means that it was mediocre and boring.

I would not rewatch this even if I got paid. I was really disappointed with it. If you are hesitating about viewing it, don't! You will receive absolutely nothing from it and you will leave with a taste of beige in your mouth. Grey-beige.

This is one of the most beautiful movies I have ever seen. And I mean visually stunning. Each frame is like a picture. The colors are well balanced and vibrant. Liberties are taken with historical accuracy, in order to present this atmosphere that blends fantasy and realistic history. It features wonderfully performed music that fits its "fantastical history" feel. The story line is melodramatic, but I think that would appeal to us drama addicts :)

Yun-Fat Chow does an amazing job of inviting you in to his character while keeping a cool and aloof distance. Li Gong does well as the Empress, but the rest of the cast is unmemorable.



In a nutshell: Visually appealing if you like bright, ornate visuals, but may be too flashy for some. The story is melodramatic which can sometimes be boring.

This is an amazing film. I can't even put into words how thoughtfully and carefully the casting, acting, direction, and cinematography were executed. This movie is depressing. It is also very quiet and can feel slow to some people. The only reason why I gave this movie a 5 for Music is because there isn't really any. I would have given it a 10 out of 10 for sound production because each noise contributes to engulfing you in the children's world.



In a nutshell: Great film for people who like quiet, thoughtful films. Avoid if you like fast paced movies or do not want to cry.

I loved this drama. It had everything; love, hate, fear, death. I was extrememly interested in the psychology aspect of the drama as I am a psych major. I gave it all 10's b/c the story was amazing, the acting was perfect, the music was awesome (had a lot of songs that I listen to), and it overall messed so well that I will watch this over and over. I have recomended this drama to my friends at work and will to any1 else that I know. I loved the concept that was born and how it all played out. A wounderful question that I have myself been trying to answer since I work in behavioral mental health. Whomever thought this up has a very analytical mind and knows how to go beyond the boundries set for experiments in the psych field. It is a very fine line that can be crossed at anytime. I probably like this more because it is based on a topic that I am interested in anyway. It kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time.

I know I\'\'m weirder than most people but still I don\'\'t understand why all the fuss about this series. Is it because of the way Hyun Bin looks like? I won\'\'t judge a story after the grade of hotness an actor has.

I most certainly didn\'\'t enjoy the story. Actually I liked more the supporting casts namely Oska/Seul. I have to say that I also like the main actor - as he looks like of course because in the end I\'\'m a superficial person - but I didn\'\'t see any chemistry between him and the main actress. At all. NOT EVEN A BIT !

Love should not be comprehensible and can hit you at any time? :)) Sure, I understand that fact but I refuse to accept it as an excuse for an undeveloped storyline. I may seem harsh and many will curse me under their breath. All I can say is : \"I\'\'ve seen better!\" and those series were unappreciated or not so widely known because no \"star\" played in them.

Amusing scenes? All I saw were actors trying to be funny.
Realness of the story? Of their love? Gradually convincing action? Where? Maybe it all went past me and I missed it.
I don\'\'t like series that don\'\'t convince me of their value and I had to try my best to not drop this one.

This is, by far, my favorite movie ever.



I have to admit, the reason I watched it in the first place was for Jaejoong, but it ended up exceeding far beyond my expectations.



The story line is so great and really impacting. This movie has everything: humor, sadness, happiness, romance. It's great!



And can I just touch on the actual visual part of this movie? Every scene is absolutely beautiful, especially the field scenes. WOW!



This movie was so good, as soon as I saw it, I had to order the DVD, ha. By now, I've watched it at least 10 times and it STILL hasn't gotten old. And I still cry because of it, too. :P



Overall, I couldn't have asked for anything more of this movie. I honestly can't think of anything negative to write. It's fantastic and I highly HIGHLY recommend it.

I read a few reviews where some people said the story made no sense and there was no chemistry as in: why did they love each other?



I think the story is very based in reality. Why do you need a reason to love someone? Sometimes you just do, and you just can't figure out why! That's what this story is about.



People are attracted to people for various reasons, but they have standards, so when they are attracted to someone they are surprised. They say to themselves, "I don't understand, why am I doing this?"



I think that is why this story is compelling. Its not for some cliche reason like, "OH, she so pretty I must make her mine." Its a story about two personalities bridging and coming together. And of course there are a few plot twists, and other drama that make it exciting. Not to mention the comedy. I don't think I've ever laughed out loud so much when watching a single drama. It Had the right Mix of Comedy, Drama and Romance.



I will admit that at some parts this drama seemed a little slow moving to me. If producers can make a compelling in romance in a hour and a half with plenty of back story, why does this have to be done in 20 hours? I think it would have dragged less if it were 16 episodes. They could have cut out some of the really long unnecessary scenes. 16 Episodes would have been perfect for it.



None-the-less, If anyone takes the time and patience to watch it, I highly doubt you'll be disappointed!

Bad, awful, horrible. Let those words lodge themselves inside your head if you have any notion of attempting to watch this drama.



Bad acting, bad script, bad characters, bad pace, bad action choreographer, bad stunt manager, bad execution of original premise, bad camera-work, bad costume design ... yeah, just really really bad in general.



This is like the worst gothic-vampire movie you've ever seen multiplied about thirty-fold and combined with action choreography that would make "Deathstalker and the Warriors from Hell" look like Woo-ping Yuen's latest action set-piece.



Even approached from a plot-progression and character-oriented standpoint, this is bad. Ok, that's a bit harsh. The concept itself is somewhat intriguing, with the idea of unavoidable fate and a Romeo/Juliet-esque romance going on. Too bad the acting is painfully bad. Given the poor performances in that arena, one expects other parts to hold up better -- thus my emphasis on the action and scenic bits; both of which only add to the net failure of this drama.
