The Classic

Director: Kwak Jae Young
Released: Jan. 310, 2003

PLOT:

Ji-hae and Soo-kyoung are friends attending the same university and both have a crush on Sang-min who is in their drama club. The more clamorous and outgoing of the two, Soo-kyoung, asks Ji-hae to do her a favor - write a love letter to Sang-min. Ji-hae pours out her own feelings for him on paper, but sadly in her friend's name. Touched by the letter, Sang-min is attracted to Soo-kyoung, and Ji-hae, feeling uncomfortable and even guilty, tries to avoid him. And yet by coincidence or by fate she keeps running into him.

Ji-hae has lived alone with her mom since her childhood, when her dad unexpectedly passed away. Her mom is now on a trip abroad, and to wile away her solitude she starts cleaning the attic. There Ji-hae finds a secret box, in which her mom kept the memorabilia of her first love story of some decades past.

Summer in 1968... Joon-ha is visiting his uncle's home in the countryside during his summer vacation. There he meets Joo-hee and falls in love at first sight. One day, the lovely Joo-hee secretly asks Joon-ha to escort her to a haunted house in the village. Happy and excited to be at her service, Joon-ha meets her at their promised spot. But in an unexpected storm, the two lose their boat and barely manage to return home at a very late hour. Joo-hee gets into big trouble for this incident and is sent back to Seoul. Having parted with Joo-hee without a word of farewell, Joon-ha spends the rest of the summer heavy-hearted.

With summer vacation being over Joon-ha also returns to Seoul. At school, his classmate Tae-su asks him to write a love letter to send to a girl. And who would it be but Joo-hee, Joon-ha's dream girl. Unable to confess his own summer love story, Joon-ha reluctantly complies with his friend's request.

I SAY:

All i can say about this movie?
Superb! One of the best movie ever!

Good looking leads, nice scenery, nice background music and everything. One of the most heart warming movies i have ever seen. One of the movies that made me cry specially the part where Joon-ha was on the train and Joo-hee is crying because Joon-ha is trying not to face Joo-hee and also the part where Joo-hee is in the war and realised he lost his necklace and came back to get it then he was attacked... awwww... but for me the saddest part there is when Joon-ha and Joo-hee met after the war and Joon-ha pretended that he is not blind but Joo-hee found out because of that piano doll... there also comedy, tae-soo's fart dance, hahaha... tae-soo's hairdo...

actually it was my 3rd time to watch but this time i have finished it... the first part was so boring and thought it will be like this all the way... i was wrong really wrong hahahhaa....

i envy son ye-jin for having a kiss from jo in-sung... O.O

anyway i really recommend this movie for all of you... inlove, single, heartbroken... i know you'll appreciate it, not just appreciate but you will love it!

My Love Ssagajy

100 days with Mr. Arrogant

SYNOPSIS:
After being dumped by her boyfriend just before their 100 day anniversary, Ha-Young (Ha Ji-Won) meets a college guy named Hyung-Joon when she accidentally kicks a can that hits him in the face and causes him to scratch his Lexus. He demands she pay him $3000 on the spot. She escapes from him, leaving her wallet behind.

Hyung-Joon stalks her, demanding money to pay for his car. Since she is a poor high school student Hyung-Joon writes up a "Enslavement Agreement" for Ha-Young in order to pay for the damage to his car. Ha-Young is thrown into a nightmarish slave life for 100 days, cleaning his house, running his errands, doing his homework and cleaning his car.

By accident she finds out that the damage to Hyung-Joon's car only costs $10! She then takes her revenge. However, before she knows it Hyung-Joon shows up at her house as her new tutor! He once again takes advantage of her, but soon Ha-Young finds herself falling head over heels for Hyung-Joon. But what happens when he drops out of her life just when she needs him most?

The original Korean title can be literally translated as "my love, the asshole," or, more roughly, as "my love, the no-manners".
