Enjoyable Romantic Comedy
"The funny thing is, after all that's happened, I still miss the old me." -- June
This light and romantic confection from South Korea is perfect when you just want a scrumptious treat rather than a full meal. Filled with a breezy charm, and an adorable performance from Korean pop star and actress, Uhm Jung-hwa, it is often funny, and sometimes tender, yet never forgets that it is a sweet romantic comedy. By never trying to be more than it is, it succeeds in being one of the best in that genre. Director Sang-woo Kim's 2006 film was released in time for Christmas moviegoers to enjoy the mood the season always brings. While the story itself has nothing to do with the holidays, the tone and atmosphere of the film was a good fit a Christmastime mood. Opposite Jung-hwa, is Korean-American actor and model, Daniel Henney. The role was a good fit for him, and he comes off well as a stoic and somewhat calculating corporate shark, charmed by the cute Jung-hwa, just as the audience has...
Not great but not too bad
Not a great movie but I like Daniel Henney and Uhm Jung Hwa. This was a silly romance but I got through it because of the stars and the acting. Some may even like the story.
If you like Daniel Henney and enjoy romcom this is a fun diversion for an evening
Isn't this every girls's fantasy: a gorgeous boss, a great job, and your dad as your best friend? What's not to enjoy? I suspect some of the translation does not cross over to English perfectly, but the premise of boy meets girl, boy chases girl, girl chases boy, and multiple timing mishaps, is universal.
