In the film, Kyun-woo comes across a young woman drunk and belligerent on the subway and in a series of accidents is mistaken for her boyfriend.  From there an actual relationship starts, usually involving her threatening to kill him if he doesn&#8217;t act the way she wants.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s actually a far better story than I&#8217;ve described and though the girl can be a real pain towards him, the story unfolds around the reason why she&#8217;s that way, and how it&#8217;s very much a conflict between her past and how much she&#8217;s quickly grown to like him.<\/p>\n<p>Honestly, this film is great if you&#8217;re interested in watching an asian movie with your woman, but she doesn&#8217;t want the usual over-the-top martial arts violence-packed stereotype.  Good use of humor, some real emotions and a great ending.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thanks to a glowing thread about this movie on a web forum, I finally got a hold of the apparently popular 2001 Korean film My Sassy Girl.
