Hillariosly funny, occasionally violent and tearfully heart rendering film about love and fate. Anybody who watches this film who is single will be left with such a longing to be in love. Jeon Ji-hyun is beguiling as the deceptively complex sassy girl and Korean pop singer Tae Hyun Cha transcends any doubts about casting a mere pop star in such a role. Korean cinema is unique in its ability to mix tones in a single genre, and this film manges to surf comedy, action, romance, drama and sentimentality without getting lost. I can't imagine a US version pulling this off. There is no need to remake this picture, it is perfect. Though perhaps a remake, no matter how artistically successful, will turn people on to the original. If you want to track this down on Region 3 DVD, there is a director's's cut but I would recommend the shorter version. The extra scenes are great but the pacing is better in the original. If you end up loving this film as much as I do then check out WINDSTRUCK, which was the director's follow up to this and also stars Jeon. It's a bit of a miss-mash but it's worth seeing for the last 2 minutes. You'll understand why!
