My Sassy Girl

My Sassy Girl/Yeopgijeogin geunyeo (2001)

starring:
Tae-hyun Cha as Kyun-woo
Gianna Jun / Ji-hyun Jun as The Girl


My Sassy Girl is one of the movies that paved way to the stardom of Korean movies and series. In fact, MSG's fame have reached the US that they produced an english remake of the said movie. In Asia alone, if you will ask some movie buffers about MSG, everyone will surely recognize and will probably recall how the movie went out. And i am not an exemption! Nonetheless, my brain will instantly blink once the title of this movie is mentioned.
Moreover, the plot was definitely good and the portrayal of the characters. Characters alone, or perhaps the actors have their own distinct image which made their difference suit their love team, as protagonists of the movie.
Soundtrack. I guess, everyone can recognize the melody of the song "Pachelbel Canon" (actually, i even downloaded the whole soundtrackÜ). This classical song of Johann Pachelbel blended the whole motion picture. And despite of being a classic song, still, it had managed to reach the hearts of the audience, especially the part wherein the lead actress played this song in an auditorium. Well, aside from this track, 'I Believe' by Shin Seung Hun is among the favorites of many soundtrack holders of this movie. In fact, there is another filipino/tagalog version of this song which was sung by Jimmy Bondoc.
I guess, one of the significant reasons why this movie was well loved by the audience was because of the cinematography accompanied by the captivating melodies of the musics used in the movie. And of course, the actors delivered the characters excellently, even if the protagonist guy was quiet an idiot there (heheÜ). To sum it all, the movie was a refreshing offer of the korean movie makers to the avid movie goers...Ü
