REVIEWS: This is probably my favorite Korean movie so far! I just adored this movie! This movie gave hope to all us girls who think we are plain that perhaps one day a strange, womanizing, gorgeous guy will realize he is in love with us. I wasn't way impressed with the acting, but I was with the storyline and movie in general. Yes, the story was predictable, but I think that is one of the things I enjoyed about it. You knew how it was going to end, but you really wanted to see how they were going to get there from the starting point. I really liked the English character, Cathy (Angela Kelly). Without giving away too much, I'll just say she's one of those gorgeous women we all hope to be and yet she doesn't act like it. I loved the chemistry between Moon Su (Jang Hyuck) and Young-Ju (Lee Na-Young). I just loved watching their relationship develop. All in all I really enjoyed this movie and recommend it to everyone who likes watching romantic comedies. SUBMITTED BY: MARCI
