I have never finished this film despite watching it 3 times around (darn). Well, what’s neat about this film is really the interesting emotional effect on the watcher. You seem to feel being sassed around by the girl as if you really couldn’t move or take a breath when she mistreats Kyun-woo. We seem to really care about the girl psychologically, but I seem to critique that part. I wasn’t really convinced about the characterization of the girl and i was awfully confused of who she really is. Couldn’t remember the parts I critiqued and I couldn’t have the time either to watch it, but absolutely its a little confusion that drags the film down into a movie. Another part to critique is that not all the humour in it is funny and there are some unrealistic scenes… the one i remember is the one when Kyun-woo and the girl went into the theme park and they encountered an army. That scene might have been changed with something else. There’s still a good side to it fortunately… The setting fits the story very well in times of romance, in times of comic relief except the ones that i mentioned as unrealistic. The casting really fits but the acting of Kyun-woo is more caring about of all the characters not because he’s being mistreated by the girl, but he seemed to show effectively through facial expression and dialog that he rules the film.
