kwak jae young's sunday movies mania..




Korean cinema is progress rapidly, I saw a lot of good movies since the first time I saw "Il Mare" in Jiffest a few years ago..
One of the Korean director that I am familiar with his work is Kwak Jae Yong..maybe you are not know his name but he is the guy behind the legendary hit movie "My Sassy Girl" .. I'm so lucky to have 3 of his work in my DVD collections .. So, if you are a single girl, no date, belum gajian, feel bored to go to mall and shopping (did we ever feel bored ??? hehehehe), just prepare your popcorn, a cup of coffee and enjoy this ride..It's perfect movies to one lazy sunday afternoon...

MY SASSY GIRL
Starring: Chae Tae Hyun -- Kyun Woo
Jun Ji Hyun -- The Girl

This movie is so fresh, funny and absolutely Kwan's best work so far..It's also became a box office in Korea and some of Asian Countries..The chemistry between Kyun Woo and the girl is so natural and really get our emotions..It's show that Kwan's strenght , and most of Korean movies is romantic-comedy genre..
I especially love Kyun Woo expression..aduh culun abisssss apalagi kalau lagi disiksaaaa hehehehe !!!
The story began when Kyun Woo meet the girl that drunk in the train and he has to take care of her..all the time..cause they keep met each other in coincidence...I also love the ending of this movie, it's happy ending without look so cheesy..And I also like the part when & Kyun Woo & The Girl "visualised" the girl's story and became bounty hunter or action actor..that hillarious !!! The soundtract also perfect with the movie..It's definetely a movie that you will watch over & over again...I heard that Hollywood already bought the right to make a remake .. bout somehow I doubt they will make it as legendary as this Korean version...

WINDSTRUCK
Starring: Jun Ji Hyun -- Yeo Kyung Jin
Jang Hyuk -- Ko Myung woo

Many said that this movie is prequel of "My Sassy Girl" ..but for me ini maksaaa abissss..and I wonder what make Kwan made this movie, with the same actress and same mood with MSG..Want to repeat the succes??? Don't think so....First part of the movie is fun but don't expect is the same with MSG, but Jang Hyuk is moreeee cuteeeee than Cha Tae Hyun hehehehee..Kyung Ji is a police officer, a very aggresive one..in a misunderstanding situation, she met with a just-regular guy-not macho type-teacher Myung Woo and finallly the fall in love..Second part of the movies became a melodramatic, sad love story between the two love birds and too exaggerate in every part...ugghhht!!..Don't expect too much on this movies, just enjoy it !!!
Oya, don't miss the final ending, cause Kwan prepare a surprise for us..too bad, me personally didn't like the surprise hehehehe...

THE CLASSIC
Starring: Son Ye Jin -- Ji Hae/ Ju Hie
Jo In Seong -- Sang Min
Cho Seung Woo -- Jun Ho

One thing I realised about Kwan's movies; it's very long like about 2 hour long..and this movie is full with tears, sad first love story, happy love story..not just one story but 2 love story..A love story of Ji Hae and also her mother, 2 generations with almost the same experience of love...even the story is cheesy and very common, cliche in few parts but this movie is beautifully shot and well delivery in every aspect..make a really really sweet movie..
