My Sassy Girl (Kwak Jae-yong, 2001)-Korean Romantic Movie

The film is based on a series of true stories posted by Kim Ho-sik on the Internet, which were later transformed into a best-selling book and into this particular movie that broke all blockbuster records upon its release, and eventually became a sensation throughout Southeast Asia.

The script tells the story of Gyen-woo, a regular college student who meets a drunken girl on the subway, who changes his life forever. Gyen-woo eventually finds himself in a relationship he never imagined occurring, although he soon starts to have feelings for the girl.

Kwak Jae-yong used the archetypical notion of a regular guy finding himself in extreme situations, and through that, he created a film that includes romance, comedy and melodrama.

Although Cha Tae-hyun portrays a very likeable character as Gyen-woo, the one who steals the show is Jun Ji-hyun as The Girl, who plays her role with all the sassiness demanded, while managing not to appear as a caricature.
