Well, first thing's first: this movie doesn't take itself seriously from the beginning. Nobody is expecting a thrilling human drama with deep conversations and artistic scenery - even though there may be some. In any case, as it may be shallow - for a Korean movie, that is - but, at the same time it's still the Mariana Trench as compared to most Hollywood so-called romantic comedies.
I must admit, I watched this for Song Il-Gook and I didn't regret it. I've seen it three times already whenever I need a good laugh or when I'm depressed and it always helps me. It's cute, even the third time I found myself laughing loudly at some scenes, and I probably will laugh as hard the fourth time around.
It's definitely not "Il Mare", but it's no "Valentine's Day" or whatever either. Just treat it as it is: light, romantic comedy, which is not supposed to be real or realistic, but take the viewer to another world and lighten their hearts. :-)

A great movie, a story that is as true as it is artistic. It's not your typical pet/animal movie in which a friendship is born between a child and an animal and everything turns out okay for both - in the wild or not.
I'm trying not to give away any spoilers, but what I can say is that it's a very sad movie in the end, but as sad as life can be, really. We are taught a lesson that no matter how much we love someone (human or not), we cannot force them to live or save their lives just because we love them very much or they're cute.
I think it's a great movie for older kids to learn about how nature works and to understand the difference between what can and cannot be done, but it can be very depressing if you're expecting a cutesy-frutesy easy story with comic aspects.

Jang Geun Seok does a great job portraying a teen dad. In America we see a lot of movies about teen moms...there is even a reality tv show about teen moms. We never see anything about teen dads. Actually I take that back, there is one made for tv movie about a teen dad that was really good, but not as good as this one.
The struggle he has to take care of his child is really well done and there are some great funny parts.
Kim Byeol steels the show with her quirky smart character. I really loved that she made #1 in class over that jerk of a kid in her class.
It is a really good story that ends well. I recomend everyone watch it.

This film was great but I have to warn you: It won't suit everyone's taste since there are many people who get scared by their own shadows I wouldn't recommend this to them because it contains horror scenes as some of my friends said : It gave them "nightmares, affected their sleeping's habit and had a horrible imagination because of it" as for me I see that as an exageration; it wasn't that scary. However, you've got to know that I love horror films.
Anyway, I was attracted to this film due to its storyline and the great actors who knew how to deliver emotions.
The story have more romance than horror that's for sure; it was kind of unique so I had so much fun watching it and going through its details as the film went by.
If you don't get scared that easy and love the sweet type of romance then you definitely should check this out.
If you're a person that get frightened quickly and hate horror films then you may have to Keep Out!

One of the first kmovies that I've seen.
Well, i can't deny that I watched it because of Jang Geun Seok since I loved his previous roles in dramas; in this movie I got to see a different side of him, the other cast were good too.
The story was fair enough; there was music, friendship, love , joy, sadness and a lot of heartwarming moments, if you're a teary person you'd definitely cry in many moments of the film.
Anyway, the movie have a love triangle the kind that will make you feel sorry for the one who loses at the end. Although, I didn't like the ending but it wasn't a sad ending.
It was a good film overall but my advice is: don't watch it with prejudices or high expectations, it will be much better that way.

The film is absolutely superbly done. The acting is excellent--from the major characters to the minor supporting soldiers; everyone does an excellent job. I cannot really say I would watch it again, but that is just because the film is so emotionally draining. This does not reflect the quality of the film. The story's beauty is that there are so many stories wound up in this one woman's life. It isn't just Mulan tale--although that is gorgeously told in an of itself. This is also the story of Tiger and Wen Tai and all the soldiers who follow and believe in her. It is the story of a father and his daughter. A story of several kinds of leaders and the strength of the loyalty which they inspire. Underneath it all, it is a story of love--between many different kinds of people in many different ways. It may sound silly, but at the same time that I watched this film, I was studying Confucius's works in school. We were taught that Confucius spoke of five relationships--parents/children, ruler/subjects, husband/wife, elder/younger siblings, and between friends. In a way the story in this film is an embodiment of those relationships. I watched it with a friend and we spent hours talking about the philosophy and ideas behind this story. This film is worth watching for many, many reasons. I watched it because I love historical films, and this tale has always interested me. But I loved it because it was so well written. This is a fascinating and very well-designed film. I highly recommend it (but have a tissue handy)

If I could describe this movie I would say it's one of those you watch when you want to waste time and still be slightly entertained.
It's not a horrible movie, it's just not overly memorable. It's one of those romance movies that the story is pretty much the same. Girl meets boy, they fall in love, they fight and break up, then some sadness comes where they miss each other, then they get back together.
The actors were good but the characters were rather boring.
Overall it was just a movie that I watched to waste time.
Maybe other people will enjoy it more then I did.

Happy Watching ^.^

I wasn't expecting much from this movie because often in my experience USA and Japan project movies aren't all that great. I was surprised by this one though. The story wasn't overly unique but how they played it out was. I enjoyed all the twists and turns it took for the main character to find her way back to who she wanted to be.
I did find it odd however that they put the main character in one relationship for most of the movie and then have it not work out and she ends up with someone else....Although I did like both Male characters I felt the transition could have been better.
Overall I really enjoyed this movie and I recommend it to anyone.

Happy Watching :)
