Based on a collection of true stories that were posted on the Internet by author Kim Ho-sik and then later turned into a film by one of South Korea's biggest movie directors Kwak Jae-young, My Sassy Girl (Yeopgijeogin Geunyeo) has received numerous awards and attention since its release in 2001, including a 2008 Hollywood remake, a Japanese television drama and being given the Bollywood treatment. My Sassy Girl is a compassionate film with both a humane message and humane characters. Almost every scene in the film gives the viewers something to laugh, cry, or think about. There are no moments of silence or dead air, and every act within the film carries its own heart-warming blend of physical comedy, straight melodrama and emotional highs. LS
