The only thing that keeps this film from being 100% perfect in my eyes (well, minus an incident or two of perverted humor, which I always find pretty tasteless) is the lack of a romantically intimate moment at the end, ie. a kiss, a long embrace, the main couple walking off hand in hand, something. Of course, it doesn't actually matter that this doesn't happen. The movie works perfectly well on it's own without any of those things. I'm just an out and out sucker for rom-coms that end with an intimate, romantic moment of some kind, and this movie doesn't have that sort of ending.

Don't misunderstand. The leads do end up together, and it's really cute (and pretty hilarious) how it comes about, so don't read the above and think that this is some sort of flaw in the movie, because it's not. I just have specific expectations with my rom-coms, and this movie hit all of them expect this one.

Moving on from my ramblings though, lol. This movie is laugh-out-loud hilarious, features two leads with bang-on chemistry and great repartee, a fun and funny premise, very much a Korean teen rom-com classic. It will probably feel dated to some people as at this point, we've pretty much all seen a lot of what it has to offer already. But I personally think it's one of the best from it's time, and stands the test of time pretty dang well, so I would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys these sorts of films and even those who maybe generally don't.

It's a fun time all around.
