MR: MY SASSY GIRL
This is a biased review. There, you’ve been warned.
I think this was the first Korean
movie I ever watched and boy, what it did to me was awesome. Till today, I make
a point to watch this movie once a year-as I do with a few other movies but we’ll
go into that later.
The plot is simple, one day Gyeon
woo saves a drunk girl from standing too near the train track(the do not cross
the line yellow sign) and that’s when all his troubles begin. The girl then
vomits on a man, calling Gyeon woo ‘honey’ before collapsing. Thus Gyeon woo is
made to take care of the girl. That started their relationship. The Girl would
often calls him to do her crazy biddings, and she’s like this shrew Xanthippe
who orders people around as she pleased and nitpicking on everything she
wants!!
The list of (Crazy) Things She
Asks Gyeon Woo To Do:
-Drink only Coffee
-Don’t stumble, speak clearly
-skip class and go to theme park
-read her scripts
-jump into the lake
-remember her birthday
-send her scripts to movie company
-play games in the subway (when
he sends her home to Bupyung)
-Play squash, kendo
-wear her HIGH HEELS and CHASE
her around the college
-during her mass lecture, come
and give her a rose
-go to disco dressed like school
students
-crash her blind date
-write their feelings in a time
capsule
-shout at her from a faraway hill
Gyeon woo, being the pacifist and
softy that he is (all because he was raised like a girl by his mother) succumbs
to every order, because first, he knows that The Girl(TG) is behaving that way
because she is hiding her innermost sadness. You see, she lost her boyfriend,
and the night she meets Gyeon woo(GW) was the first anniversary of his death.
At first, she thought his dead boyfriend kinda send GW to her but then she becomes
guilty as she falls for GW more. So she decides to take a time out and leaves for
London. After two years, she returns and searches for GW but to no avail. GW
meanwhile, improves himself by mastering whatever that he needs to(squash, kendo, swimming, writing) and becomes
a writer who successfully sold his script about his story with The Girl to a
movie company.
TWIST ENDING
When GW meets TG that fateful
night by the train track, he was going to Bupyung visiting her auntie, who had
lost her son due to an accident. After two years, GW prepares to go see her (per
order by his mother) because he resembles his dead cousin. GW doesn’t like
going to see his auntie because she likes to rub her face and kiss him LOL When
GW arrives at the restaurant, he is surprised to see TG is there. It turns out,
TG dated his dead cousin, and her auntie had long wanted to introduce GW to
her. So you can say it was a match made in heaven, ONE FROM THE FUTURE :)
WHY I LOVE THIS MOVIE
-The twist ending of course. TG
is obsessed with People From The Future, and she makes her main leading
character in her scripts ALL coming from the future. Her reason is ‘people from
the future might just be around us’ This thought stems from her wanting to go
to the past, and maybe rectify what happened to her boyfriend, or maybe she
just misses him and longs to see him again. However GW is her ‘Man From The
Future’ whom she meets and falls in love with two years earlier. Isn’t that
sweet!
-I like TG’s character. She’s a
tsundere, if you go by anime-manga standard, and I like tsunderes cuz they’re
fun!! In fact my mom’s a tsundere, she’s not as extreme as TG but then she is.
I can’t explain why I like them. And I know for a fact there are guys who love
them.
-It’s so funny, the way their
relationship develops and the silly silly things TG asks him to do. I LOVE the
slap me game they play at the train. A kid draws a line on the floor with his
mother’s lipstick, and they make a bet, that anytime a person crosses over the
line with a left foot, TG wins and if it's the right foot, GW wins and the winner
gets to slap the other person. At first GW wins but then comes an army of
soldiers marching and crosses the line with their left feet. So you can imagine
the loud smacks TG gives GW ROFL
-I love GW’s character too. And I
love the fact that he grows up and wants to be a better man for TG. I love that
that is the effect TG has on him and that both of them are changed since that
night they met.
-I love everything about GW’s family,
most especially the part when his father scolds a very young GW for not
studying. He says “since you inherited your brain from me” After a few years
and GW becomes more horrible at studying, he changes his words “since you
inherited your brain from your mom,” HA. LOL. And the part that he narrates
that whenever he sleeps outside, he needs to come home discreetly because his
mother will hit him with whatever she has in her hands. The trick is to return
at the right time and wallah, as he tells it, his mother is holding a beater
PAWNED LOL
-The fact that TG is so amazingly
beautiful, because she needs to in order for GW to stay by her side in the
beginning of the relationship. I mean even though GW is a softy, his ego would
blow up by TG’s hitting and punching him but he stays because he’s immensely
attracted to her beauty, and after knowing her, by her sadness and her
personality. I like it that the scriptwriter understands this-no man can
withstand an abuse by a woman unless she is beautiful. I like that the
superficial goes into profound and not only GW see this, we, the audience too.
-Uh oh, and I love it that the script didn't give The Girl a name. She is referred to as she, and TG from the beginning to the end. It is significant, because I think, she doesn't represent herself, she represents all the ladies in the world. We ladies are as complicated and as changeable as we can. We draw our strengths from our emotions and we drive men crazy with our antiques, one way or another. TG also symbolises LOVE, as love is crazy, selfish, but beautiful and brings happiness.
IN CONCLUSION
I’ll
end this review with a quote from Haruka Murakami’s Norwegian Wood, about the
notion of love-LOVE IS SELFISH AND CRAZY.
“Wow,” I said. “Did the search pay off?”
“That’s the hard part,” said Midori. She watched the rising smoke for a while, thinking. “I guess I’ve been waiting so long I’m looking for perfection. That makes it tough.”
“Waiting for the perfect love?”
“No, even I know better than that. I’m looking for selfishness. Perfect selfishness. Like, say I tell you I want to eat strawberry shortcake. And you stop everything you’re doing and run out and buy it for me. And you come back out of breath and get down on your knees and hold this strawberry shortcake out to me. And I say I don’t want it anymore and throw it out the window. That’s what I’m looking for.”
“I’m not sure that has anything to do with love,” I said with some amazement.
“It does,” she said. “You just don’t know it. There are time in a girl’s life when things like that are incredibly important.”
“Things like throwing strawberry shortcake out the window?”
“Exactly. And when I do it, I want the man to apologize to me. “Now I see, Midori. What a fool I have been! I should have known that you would lose your desire for strawberry shortcake. I have all the intelligence and sensitivity of a piece of donkey shit. To make it up to you, I’ll go out and buy you something else. What would you like? Chocolate Mousse? Cheesecake?”
“So then what?”
“So then I’d give him all the love he deserves for what he’s done.”
“Sounds crazy to me.”
“Well, to me, that’s what love is…”

How To Write A CV
Really, he wrote an impressive CV that even alarmed the Ministry of Magic(or so they tell me, the Floo Network's not working properly these days, caused by the Muggles hogging in front of the fireplace watching people in Europe kicking a sphere to each other, by Merlin's beard!)

Hurt-Ali (Rooftop Prince OST)
feeling melancholic...and this song is so good...
I love the powerful vocal and the haunting music...
I love the powerful vocal and the haunting music...
Because the reason I live is you,
With my heart, I hope the remaining,
flickering memories will be sent to you
At the end of this road I walk on,
At this road that was allowed to me,
I, who used to love and love you more,
Remain here alone
At this road that was allowed to me,
I, who used to love and love you more,
Remain here alone
My love has all burned up and
the only thing remaining
Are the exhausted scars from waiting
I cannot forget a person like you
Only tears fall
the only thing remaining
Are the exhausted scars from waiting
I cannot forget a person like you
Only tears fall
When my love has all washed away
Only the longing scars remain
Only the words, “good bye” remain
So I cannot forget you
Only the longing scars remain
Only the words, “good bye” remain
So I cannot forget you
Following the flower petals
that yield to the sky
that yield to the sky
When I meet you,
I can tell you now that I longed for you
I long for you so I couldn’t forget you
I can tell you now that I longed for you
I long for you so I couldn’t forget you
My love has all burned up and
the only thing remaining
Are the exhausted scars from waiting
I cannot forget a person like you
Only tears fall
the only thing remaining
Are the exhausted scars from waiting
I cannot forget a person like you
Only tears fall
When my love has all washed away
Only the longing scars remain
Only the words, “good bye” remain
So I cannot forget you
Only the longing scars remain
Only the words, “good bye” remain
So I cannot forget you
