A tempting movie "One of one hundred movies there's one that is fair, one that's good and ninety eight that are very bad. Most movies start badly and steadily get worse”, said Charles Bukowski once. Well, I'm not a movie expert but as far as I'm concerned, this movie is "one of those hundred movie" that is "good". The lead actress acted pretty well. From falling down through to bossing her boyfriend around she did everything in a convincing and cute way. There wasn't any moment when one realized that she was acting. She really lived out her character, cried, smiled and got angry. The female lead even spoke English( but only sometimes). And by the way: Her accent is pretty cute. Concerning the male lead...charming and hot as always and his acting was way better than you might expect ( after seeing him in Kim Sam Soon). Apart from that, this movie used a new method to overcome the language barrier between the main actors( Daniel Henney doesn't speak Korean). Nowadays, this language barrier isn't even a "barrier" anymore. Directors are able to make use of dubbing. Integrating the language in the plot was something new to me when I watched this movie back then. ( Now I know that there are other dramas that used the same method: Kim Sam Soon, Sweet Spy). At first, it felt somehow strange to listen to this Korean&English; mix of both actors. But I must admit that the explanation for this mix was very comprehensible: The male lead stated that he understands Korean pretty well. But for him it is difficult to speak Korean. While watching this scene, I accepted it right away. However, the only thing I couldn't accept right away was the plot. Of course, I know that in movies everything works differently. It might be rushed as there is no time to show more of it. But I wished that there had been more time to show the characters' and relationships' changes/ developments. Nevertheless, the plot was unpredictable. Moreover, Korean drama clichés were used in a different and funny way. “When everything gets answered, it's fake.” ( by Sean Penn) Actually, I'm not a supporter of this opinion but this time I agree. If you had a rough day and don't know what to watch, you should try this movie!
