It is true that women in South Korea have experienced great social changes in recent years but a lot needs to be done to completely change public perception which prevails due to the sexist mindset of South Korean society. If one were to watch 'My Sassy Girl' in the context of views stated above, any viewer would notice that this film portrays a very positive image of a Korean woman. It is one of the very few films which shows a south Korean woman as domineering. For a film which lasts 2 hours, director Kwak Jae-Yong focused on making it an absolutely entertaining flick with numerous elements of South Korean culture. Anybody familiar with it would not fail to note its depiction of teenage prostitution and love motels. It is important to note that these are just some minor elements which steer the film towards its ultimate destination-an impossible love story between an innocent young man and a whimsical damsel who is away from any kind of distress. There are no dull moments in the film as the narrative has been loosely structured around three different parts. The brilliance of actors is reflected in these parts as equal importance is given to both the unfolding of drama and the development of romance between the leading players. Lastly, nobody can deny that a lot of thought and preparation has gone into the making of this film. However, as it is said that actors are the artists who help a film to be sold far and wide, a brief yet important mention must be made of this film's lead players namely Jun Ji-Hyun and Cha Tae-Hyun.

Even after 13 years since its release, this movie still isn't getting old. It's really one of my personal favorites, and after re-watching it again today after some time, I have decided to give one of beloved movies a review.My Sassy Girl offers an excellent narrative to complement the astounding acting of the two main leads. This movie isn't like your average Hollywood romcom, in that its a really sweet and touching love story, but it's not overly cheesy and mushy and the like. You really can't help but to fall in love with these characters and the story!It's a story about how fate always seems to make things right in the end. The only thing I'm a bit sad about right now is not being able relive the FIRST time I watched it wherein it truly captivated me and captured my emotions. I remember feeling melancholic and lonely right after the credits started rolling as I realized that this story that I had grown so attached to for the past hour and a half was over. This movie will always have a special place in my heart.

If you have worked your way to this IMDb page then congrats, you have found not merely "the" original (before the sequels, and the Chinese and US knockoffs) but, in the opinion of this reviewer, "an" original, in the sense that, having seen a zillion romantic comedies from all other world, I cannot remember a story quite like this one. The charm, the novelty, here is that while the girl is pretty, there is no overt sexiness of any kind. In other words, this is a romantic comedy where the spell is weaved purely on metaphysical or psychological attraction. Maybe the closest analog is the Audrey Hepburn style film. But, this is important, Hepburn was a one of a kind actress; and the premise here, a premise that some reviewers have missed, is that ANY woman has the innate ability to present herself in such a way that men are literally overcome by a strange combination of confusion and desire. That was the premise of the original novel, and this film was faithful to it. I agree with the very first reviewer -- a perfect 10, a one of a kind, sequels and knockoffs notwithstanding.

It is really a good movie that binds you till the end with its emotional touch. The girl is really pretty. She is also a brave heart and always ready to fight for the wrongdoing.She is in the habit of writing fantasy stories. The film shows the Korean way of life with western touch. The guy in the main lead role did a very good job. It tells us the one of the philosophies of love. It also tells us about that we can pursue for the coincidence. If we want something, then we can achieve it.At last in the end, they both meet. so its a happy ending movie. Great direction. Great Acting. Great screenplay. Go for it.
