~Korean Movie~
I just can't believe how amazingly good and sexy Ha Jung-woo in rapping at the Alaska song in this movie. And how I can't get over the idea of Gong Hyo-jin (female lead) having such a furry armpit LOL. I am lingering on it, does she grows it naturally? haha
I love all the songs used here, especially the one that used in the airport scene--in fairness, to most of the Korean movies and dramas that I have watched, there were always last minute chasing but this one is not predictable, there is no such "chasing airport scene-- and the entitled Alaska song--it is so funny and entertaining at the last part. I like to have a copy of it!
"Confession of love is the most dramatic moment. Like everything in the world vanishes except for the two." I love the lead male deadpan expression all through out the movie especially when he is confessing at the drinking session scene. It was poetic and lyrical every girl would wish to have.
The plot is mix of the male lead's imagination (since he is a writer here) and they incorporate it in the story, showing them how he view relationship and his feelings to those character that he creates. It is relatable (well to me) when you see relationships and partners in ideal setting whereas love and relationship in real life is not that easy.
Over all, this is a good movie and I love it, rewatch value is high!

I quickly noticed that I absolutely loved the acting from our leads who did a great job. I also liked Hyo Jin's characters' feminist views - like the whole armpit hair rant (Quote: "Why is it different from yours?") and also the comment about her "bitchiness" being due to her period (Quote: "When women are angry for good reasons, ignorant men's most violent comment ever is that women have their brains in their uterus". Awesome points of views, and I really loved how it's a very different perspective to Korean culture - especially about women's body hair.
Other than that, this movie had a few confusing scenes that I had trouble finding relevant or necessary, but I still managed to get the overall plot. The ending was a bit weird for me, as I didn't really understand it, and I don't seem to be the only one. To me, it started out extremely entertaining and then just slooowly got more and more confusing/complicated and I didn't enjoy that part.
I still give it a high rating due to a good humor and great characters.

Ha Jung Woo's character is so overdramatic and hilarious while Gong Hyo Jin plays a mysterious and fun-loving woman who suddenly enters his life. In a way, this is a typical Korean rom-com movie, but the humour is definitely different. Jokes about girls who have armpit hair, for example.
A minus point for me was the ending which was too neat for my liking.
I generally don't think rom-coms have a lot of rewatch value unless I find it extremely hilarious, so it's low on this one.
