Watched My Sassy girl as a big fan of Korean cinema and kdramas. Instantly recognised the lead actors as they're prolific actors in kdramas.

My Sassy girl has a pretty unique premise, and has very Korean humour. I do love how the film borders the bizarre and extreme, but also doesn't overdo the romantic side despite primarily being a romantic movie.

That being said there 2 things than Korean media typically does which I find especially frustrating in this movie. One is grotesque humour - don't watch this whilst eating. Two is the "x years later" trope. I find it very lazy writing, and unfortunately Korean movies and dramas do it A LOT. It also happens in My Sassy Girl, and it really feels like the movie unravels when it happens, I felt this was a 9/10 movie until the "x months/years later" crutch starts happening and the movie immediately ceased to be engaging to me.

Despite these shortcomings, the movie is definitely worth a watch.
