Ok, I confess to really liking most Korean movies. Yes, they tend to be very melodramatic, sacharine sweet, corny, and predictable. What’s not to like?
My Sassy Girl is an older film that I discovered through a clip posted on the blog On My Way to Korea. I liked that clip so much I stole it and posted it here. Commenter Jason saw the clip I posted, liked it as well, and now threatens to post it on his blog. Ain’t the internet great?
Anyway, that clip whetted my appetite for more and I was pleased to discover the entire movie can be viewed on YouTube in ten minute chunks. I have now viewed the entire movie and declare it hilarious. Yeah, it gets a bit sappy in places, but some of the scenes had me laughing out loud. I don’t think you can understand a culture through movies (I shudder to imagine how people would judge America based on the Hollywood view of things), but at least through film I feel a gain a greater appreciation for this country I call home.
So, I invite and recommend you to enjoy this sweet movie. I’m even going to make it easy for you by posting links to each clip. So, pop some corn, relax, take your shoes off, sit a spell, and indulge yourself in the pleasure of watching this fine film. You’ll be glad you did.
Now, wasn’t that fun?
