Just what I expected

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Like many people who have already wrote reviews, I stumbled upon the Hollywood remake and listened to the many comments here to watch the original. Thankfully, due to the horrible existence of torrent websites, I managed to find a great copy, subtitles -- you name it. Classic example of the old adage.. can't see the forest for the trees...This same logic applies to this film... like some critics I've read -- you can criticize the movie for it's offbeat story telling, borderline abuse, and use it to show people relationships to AVOID...And Frankly, just as all of us can't be Astronauts or Presidents -- not everyone is mentally present enough to see the forest.Like others have said, I've never seen such a romantic movie without the standard use of nudity, kissing, and language. I'm the same in my life -- I don't feel the need to tell people I love them -- I would expect people to know that from our actions.I don't trust people's words as people lie... people just lie. However, when you're sick and someone sends you a text saying "I hope you get better soon!" -- that's nice, but when when someone drives to your house to check on you -- that's on a whole other level.ACTIONS MATTERAnd this movie carefully constructs a bridge between people who were "raised like girls" and those of us who have trouble expressing how we feel in traditional ways. Many people around us don't fit into the social fabric and show how they care in ways that many of us do not perceive.Many people pursue the opposite sex for qualities similar to themselves instead of understanding that opposite people marry up nicely and fill each other out.So. If you understand all of that... you will love this movie as there isn't anything else out there that comes close to capturing the nuances of human feeling.

Absolutely beautiful movie that is a hands down must watch!Don't let the first five min deter you. This is charming, funny, yet actually deep movies. It explores grief, sympathy, love, understanding, how to be a friend, and helping those in need. It playfully reminds you about your youth, growing up, dealing with pain and sorrow and many other strong motifs. I found it rather profound for a rom com. Korean scripting and acting is just top notch in this, and the sound track is equally as powerful. I burst out laughing many times, cried a few, and enjoyed nearly ever min of this fabulous K-drama/romcom. a must watch

Beautiful film, one of my favorites,one of the finest screenplays in modern films, must watch if you are a fan of ROMCOM's, This cleverly scripted comedy covers a lot of territory in its two-hour running time, containing enough material for at least two movies. I can honestly say that I cannot choose a favorite character because both characters have their good and bad qualities that complement each other so well. The romance part of this movie is what really hooked me. I am such a weakling when it comes to unconventional romances because I actually think the more uncommon the romance, the more realistic it is. These two are certainly an eccentric pair but in a way their romance is so natural.Sure it has pretty over-the-top moments, but that is what makes it funny. It is romantic, funny, unusual, and so unconventional that I would definitely say it is a perfect representation of what every film in the romantic-comedy genre should strive for. I would say see it, or, in the words of the sassy girl, "Risk death!"

Even after 13 years since its release, this movie still isn't getting old. It's really one of my personal favorites, and after re-watching it again today after some time, I have decided to give one of beloved movies a review.My Sassy Girl offers an excellent narrative to complement the astounding acting of the two main leads. This movie isn't like your average Hollywood romcom, in that its a really sweet and touching love story, but it's not overly cheesy and mushy and the like. You really can't help but to fall in love with these characters and the story!It's a story about how fate always seems to make things right in the end. The only thing I'm a bit sad about right now is not being able relive the FIRST time I watched it wherein it truly captivated me and captured my emotions. I remember feeling melancholic and lonely right after the credits started rolling as I realized that this story that I had grown so attached to for the past hour and a half was over. This movie will always have a special place in my heart.
