There's been plenty of great stuff said about this movie. When K-drama fans recommend movies to newbies My Sassy Girl is at the top of the pile. No really. Every recommendation I was given had Sassy Girl in the top 1-5 positions without fail.

So I'm a little bummed that I'm probably one of the few people who felt underwhelmed and thought the movie was overrated. The sassy girl that the movie clearly evolves around was the main sticky point for me. Honestly I didn't like her, she was like a bully and the way she treated the poor sob who found her drunk on a train. That's not to say I didn't get a tons of laughs out of this movie.

The saving point for me is that My Sassy Girl is a great story about getting over loss and heartbreak, and being able to move on. The idea that when things are destined to be that time and fate will pull things together.

Any drama fan should watch this and I don't regret it at all. It's a classic.

Shu Qi is the reason I started this movie, and finished watching it. She's got three rolls to play and I found watching her acting them to be the best part. This movie reminds me of those crazy late 80s and early 90s films. With awkward cinematography and so many story ideas that it just can't piece it together. The idea was interesting, just not executed well.

I will say one thing for sure I laughed my booty off. The horrible man poses, King (Ekin Cheng, who I adore) wears this white jacket, but there's nothing underneath! Wardrobe . . . lost? This is probably worth a peek just so you can laugh, and use some of the horrible lines.

Eleven (AKA : Shu Qi): What is sexual relation?
King: I love you, you love me and we kiss, and we do that.
Eleven: I love you, do you love me?
King: *nods*
Eleven: I want sexual relation.
King: Good. Lie Down.
Eleven: *lies back*
King: Coming

To be honest this is not where I would start for first time "drama" viewers. Try 200 Pound Beauty. Also, I almost stopped within the first commercial break, but I held out until the first horrible posses . . . and laughed the night away.
