Hollywood has bastardized My Sassy Girl.

if, like me, you were hoping that the Hollywood remake of My Sassy Girl would bring back the giddy, and wonderfully warm, sarcastic moments of the Korean original... think again.

this remake is wrong in so many aspects i don't even know where to begin. the actors were blah (although i did like the girl's haircut and cool clothes LOL) and didn't have chemistry, the cinematography and scoring is cookie-cutter, and the story wasn't very endearing. if i didn't watch the Korean version, i wouldn't have understood why on earth this crazy woman was lovable. heck, i didn't even think the guy was funny, clumsy, and kenkoy enough to pull off the dynamics of the original version.

disappointment rate is as big as an extra large bucket of extra buttered popcorn, plus an extra large soda. good thing the rental was free because of the points we had accumulated on Roger's Video Rewards.

Il Mare was a better remake.
