Last night I watched My Sassy Girl also known as My Bizarre Girl, which is a Korean drama. I have to say that it was good and bad at the same time. The summarized story is about this guy who encounters a drunken girl at a subway station, whose name is never ever mentioned throughout the movie. She almost killed herself because she was standing a little off the edge of the subway platform and a guy named Gyeon-woo pulled her out of the way before the sub pulled into the station. Since he is such a nice guy and a tad bit of a hopeless romantic, he couldn’t just leave the drunken girl to roam around vulnerable. So he carries the sleeping drunk girl on his back to a motel and watches after her. He doesn’t do anything to her but when someone called the police, saying she was missing they tracked her down to the motel. Gyeon-woo was showering and getting ready to leave because it would be awkward waking up to someone you don’t know and getting the wrong idea. The police bust in while he was naked, suspecting he kidnapped and raped her he was arrested. The girl somehow gets a hold of his number and asks to meet up with him. She is really rude and asks him what happened last night and he told her the truth with a bit of stuttering. They start hanging out and they eventually date. The thing is the girl is so annoying and so rude and everything is very unpredictable with her, which is a twist from other romance, comedy movies. I found the girl to be extremely, stressful annoying and immature, I cannot stress this enough because I found it very overwhelming! It really kills the story for me and at a certain point I wanted to pull out my hair and turn it off. I stuck to it though and you find out that she did all those things for a reason, which I will not name. Anyways, the relationship progresses and Gyeon-woo wondered if it will actually get anywhere. They wrote out their feelings to one another and put it in a time capsule and agreed to meet up two years from now. After the two years pass, the girl does not show up and Gyeon-woo reads her letter. She says if she didn’t show up that means she needs more time to develop courage and maybe we might meet again. Gyeon-woo is heartbroken and continues living his life to the fullest, doing his best in everything until he sees her again. They meet up again on complete accident when the lady that they are both working for was blindly trying to set them up, not realizing that they already know each other. As the ending unfolds it gets better after you go though the annoying middle. I thought it was annoying but people have their own perception of annoying.
I give this a 2 and 1/2 out of 3.
The American remake is coming out soon, under the same name My Sassy Girl and will be released later this year.
