Okay, first off I'd like to say that the synopsis is completely wrong. This is so not a melodrama, and they got the whole whom moves in with whom thing wrong. And it doesn't really explain the plot at all. What's up with that?
Second I'd like to say that I have in fact not seen the original Jdrama or read the manga and that although I will love Hwang Tae Kyung forever, Jang Guen Suks films are a 50/50 for me. Ya either love um or ya hate um. Some of them are kind of sloppy, but I have by no means seen all of them yet and so there is still hope.
Anyway, after firmly establishing that my opinion is not overly biased I should probably start describing the movie in question.
It is 100%, honest and truly, a romantic comedy. And it's a pretty good one.
The story is presented so quickly that sometimes it's hard to keep up, but it is still enjoyable and probably more so for it's quirky defects.
The acting is reasonable. The chemistry is about your average romantic comedy. No major sizzling here, but it's really sweet in a cute kind of way.
I can't remember the music, and I have seen this more than once...
This movie is sweet, fairly clean, light, and pretty funny. Like I said before I have watched this more than once, and I laugh ever single time.
Over all I really like this movie. It really stands out in the long list of romantic comedies that I have watched, and is one of the few that I can re-watch.
Warning: if you have seen the Jdrama then watch this with a really open mind.
Warning #2: There is one scene where I blushed and looked away, but that's just me. I'm pretty sure this thing might be rated PG. It doesn't even merit a 13.
Side note: I LOVED the totally random musical scene!
