average boy meets super girl in bad circumstances, in short she is a mixture of tyranny abusiveness, intelligence charm, damaged over another boyfriend, cruel, loving...independent, she is a paradox the movie is a paradox, you should hate her for treating the boy so bad, but the boy comes through as a true friend but in love with her despite her horrible personality...i know it sounds weird and i despise females hitting men for no reason (just because he "annoyed her".

but this is not a domestic violence drama......believe or not is a romantic funny comedy and it really, really moved me.

, Korean humor Korean acting.....it is thoroughly funny at times very sad in others , very very romantic, i could talk all day about this movie, it is a sad paradox between reality and movies.....

in real life she wouldn't give him the time of the day as she is ridiculously pretty (she was 21 when she made the movie) and he was average looking at best even then.....

i told you this was a paradox.....in real life the actress married a Korean banker at the age of 30, in the movie they are both supposed to be 25-26......

i give it 10 stars because as a movie fantasy is perfect but i would give it 0 stars for realism.... women (specially in Korea)don't marry below their social status and physical appearance, and that is life in Korea and the rest of the world........beauty is expensive most of the times and a woman as intelligent as that and as pretty as that would 99% of the time for a better looking better socially partner.....

the message from this movie is be that man or forget about a 10 woman or a 9..... otherwise enjoy the fantasy of the movie.....as i have said it is an incredible good fantasy.. but it is not real and it is just not a movie where you can say "maybe if" this is real life and this is a movie about love and friendship..... in real life it would never happen...and that saddens me more than anyone can think.

but enjoy the movie it is excellent except for some female abuse on an innocent and naive , but loyal guy, i always vote down movies where this happens (men are belittled by women....it is part of the culture now...men are stupid or abusive women are intelligent and perfect...) i decided not to count it on my score..for once.....Th's is the power of the fantasy for me
