My Sassy Girl


Base from a true story told in a series of Love Letters written by Kim Ho-sik and was been posted to the internet before it was finally adapted into a novel. My Sassy Girl has been a big hit on 2001 when it was made to the screen by Director Kwak Jae-yong.
Originally lead by Cha Tae-Hyun and Jun Ji-hyun, a romantic- comedy film that tells a story about a man who fell in love with a very strange and unpredictable woman. Too far from man’s ideal woman is a nutty and mildly sadistic type of girl.
With it’s the same title, came the American remake of the film directed by Yann Samuel of “Love Me if You Dare” and starred by Elisha Cuthbert and Jess Bradford.
The movie version was set in the New York featuring the Upper East Side and the Central Park.
The film rotates around the concept of fate and chaos as the agents of true love. Cuthbert will portray the rule of a girl who is unwaveringly addicted to drinking and haphazardly cause a scene where she goes.
Bradford on the other hand is playing the role of the guy name Charlie who is willing to see through the girl’s destructive way.
On the Korean version of the movie, the male character is brought up as n effeminate and non- studious entity with an aggressively mean mother smacking him with anything nearby when he go home at late hours.
Charlie in the remake was not effeminate but an aspiring business student who comes from French lick Indiana. He has the sweetest and nicest parents who encourage him to become a corporate Tiller King Representative.
Charlie’s world change forever after meeting the drunk girl whom he save from her death after pulling her just right on time before the train pass by.
The girl called him “honey” before she fainted and mistaken to be her boyfriend, Charlie got the responsibility of taking her into the hotel.
See a total different side of love and how to people pull each other to a more healthy place of their relationship by virtue. It’s a fable of destiny!
