My Sassy Girl

My most favorite love story of all time. My Sassy Girl is a romantic-comedy South Korean film directed by Kwak Jae-yong. The story is about a male college student, Gyeon-woo (played by Cha Tae-Hyun), and the Girl,who's never named in the movie (played by Jun Ji-hyun), who wanted to get over her ex-boyfriend. Gyeon-woo couldn't find a romantic relationship that even her mother tries to help him and said to visit his aunt for two reasons, she reminds her of her son who was drowned and there is a girl his aunt wants to introduce to him.

It's funny how the two met on a subway station, the Girl was drunk and vomitted on an old man and called Gyeon-woo "honey" and fainted. The old man thought that the Girl was the girlfriend of Gyeon-woo and said to him agressively that he should take care of her. As a gentleman, Gyeon-woo help the Girl, try to leave the Girl in the station but changed his mind and took her to a motel and slept together. And that was the beginning of there comedy-love story.
Gyeon-woo would read scripts that she will write, exchanged her high heals to Gyeon-woo's shoes, and play games that Gyeon is always the losser.

Despite all the horrible things Gyeon-woo endures all and determine to help cure the pain of the Girl.
Best scenes to watch out for: The scene where Gyeon-woo gave a flower for the Girl on their 100th Day and Gyeon-woo telling the 10 rules for the Girl.

For me, the best part of the movie was Gyeon-woo saying the Ten Rule for the Girl. It almost made me cry.

Here's The Ten Rules from "My Sassy Girl" -


1. Don’t ask her to be feminine.

2. Don’t let her drink over three glasses. She’ll beat someone.

3. At a cafe, drink coffee instead of coke or juice.

4. If she hits you, act like it hurts. If it hurts, act like it doesn’t.

5. On your 100th day together give her a rose during her class. She’ll like it a lot.

6. Make sure you learn fencing and squash.

7. Also be prepared to go to prison sometimes.

8. If she says she’ll kill you, don’t take it lightly. You’ll feel better.

9. If her feet hurts, exchange shoes with her.

10. She likes to write, encourage her.
