My Sassy Girl (South Korea, 2001)

Based on a series of true stories posted by Ho-sik Kim on the Internet describing his relationship with his girlfriend. These were later transformed into a best-selling book and the movie follows the book closely. It describes the meeting of Kyun-woo and an unnamed girl. Kyun-woo is shamed into assisting the girl because the other passengers mistakenly think she is his girlfriend. Once he helps her, Kyun-woo develops a deep sense of responsibility for her which enables him to tolerate (somehow) the girls abuses.

One of the highest grossing films of all time in South Korea, and also a blockbuster in all of Asia, My Sassy Girl won millions of people over with its mix of comedy, drama and romance. Recommended to everyone who wants a movie full of heart and joy, but also one that takes itself seriously and shows every step and every up and down of a relationship.

Genre: Comedy/Drama
