4. Lovers Concerto
5. The Last Present

Mine is also My Sassy Girl

But my first Korean movie was Attack the Gas Station

Some other favorites

Attack the Gas Station

Guns and Talks

Il Mare

My Boss My Hero

Volcano High (stylish)

I hated the Classic

took almost a month to finish watching it

that's on top of my head

My favourites in no particular order

My Sassy Girl
The Classic
JSA
Il Mare
Guns and Talks
Lovers Concerto

my first korean movie was actually Sex Is Zero and i just finished watching My Sassy Girl .. so out of those 2, i think My Sassy Girl takes it by a landslide .. but you have to luv Ha Ji Won in Sex Is Zero

fayenatic · Post by **fayenatic** » Jan 27th, '04, 16:49

yeah...My Sassy Girl was my first korean movie...and Im also damn proud to say that I was part of the minority that chose to see the movie BEFORE it became such a big hit overseas!! *hmph* So I guess it is my favorite movie....Though come to think of it, I hate to see the movie for the umpteeth time since it's so "boring" now. I'll remember as being ONE of my favorites...

The Classic is right up there next to My Sassy Girl...and in many ways, I think it surpasses MSG..i.e the acting....

Post by **xiaryx** » Jan 27th, '04, 20:02

what does everyone think about Wanee and Junah? In my opinions, movies such as the Classic and Lovers Concerto, the audience already know the clear-cut love and hate relationship between the characters. Where as in Wanee and Junah, the movie kept me guessing about Wanee's true feeling toward the male characters until the very end. Instead of just showing a typical fantastical romance, the movie is actually showing the complexity of a typical relationship and what it takes to make it work.

fayenatic · Post by **fayenatic** » Jan 28th, '04, 00:28

i watched the first 20 minutes and fell asleep

so i cant really say whether she likes her current bf or her brother more....

thats what i hate about some korean movies....they're so dang draggy...

i actually agree...sometimes i debate on whether i should just start the movie in the middle because some of the kmovies i've d/l have too much talking not enough action...that's why i liked Please Teach Me English a lot...it was funny and kept my attention...for some of these movies i think i need to be in the mood (like maybe after a huge and terrible break up which my heart was torn into a thousand pieces) in order for me to get into the mellowdrama. Still, i'm always watching them...i guess that's why i'm now at d-addicts huh?

KrAzYLiLAzNGr1 · Post by **KrAzYLiLAzNGr1** » Jan 30th, '04, 18:43

Ive only watched 1 korean movie so far and thats my sassy girl. That was a great movie!!! The ending wasnt predictable, thats a first for me. I'm trying to dl Madeleine and My Tutor Friend my right now. :\ Ohhhhhh yaaaaaa!!! The main character guy in My Sassy Girl(forgot the name - -") is my friend's cousin!!

Post by **xiaryx** » Jan 30th, '04, 20:28

I would recommend Lovers concerto if you enjoy watching his movie.

GhstDreamer · Post by **GhstDreamer** » Jan 30th, '04, 22:45

Haven't watched any of the above mentioned in the poll.

I've only watched two korean flims:

Musa (which I loved)
Volcano High school (it was a visually good film but overall I did not like it)

Maybe I should watch My Sassy Girl (I was in the dark and probably one of the very few who never heard of it

)- it seems like a lot of people enjoyed it...

Scyth3r · Post by **Scyth3r** » Jan 31st, '04, 03:34

My Sassy Girl is dominating of course. lol.

I did not like Lover's Concerto much. So incredibly slow...

Classic was pretty good but HORRIBLE acting by the guy. Did not like the Saving Private Ryan part either...

I loved Madeliene also. Right up there w/ My Sassy Girl I think.

I second, Guns and Talks though. Great movie.

MeaningOfLife · Post by **MeaningOfLife** » Jan 31st, '04, 15:51

We need less votes for My Sassy Girl!

Also, where's Please Teach Me English?

Ok removed Over the Rainbow (0votes) and replaced with Please Teach Me English

JamesYang · Post by **JamesYang** » Feb 5th, '04, 06:44

My favorites are:
Lover's Concerto - everytime i think of this movie it makes me feel depressed, even listening to the OST. Terrific movie, not to mention Son Ye Jin is pretty as hell.

My Tutor Friend - hilarious movie with Kim Ha Neul. Funny from beginning to end.
The Classic - Again, Son Ye Jin, but besides that fact, she does a very good performance as both the mother and daughter, and the other costars were good as well.
Crazy First Love - Guy from My Sassy Girl was wildly funny in this one, and SYJ was freakin pretty once again. Funny with sad moments. Is it just me or does Son Ye Jin have too many roles as the character that has some medical problem (Summer Scent, Lover's Concerto, CFL, and even in alot of parts when she was the mother in the Classic)?

hakurey · Post by **hakurey** » Feb 5th, '04, 07:17

I think I've seen wayyy too many Korean movies to pick a single fav.
But the one that got me started 6 months ago was "My Sassy Girl" and a very old movie called "A Hot Roof"

soyabean123 · Post by **soyabean123** » Feb 18th, '04, 15:46

Hmmmm.... sssaaassssy!!!

but after that, I also loved Lovers'Concerto, i think it's one of the saddest movies I've seen.... couldnt stop crying

same for christmas in august (story is so simple though)
oh u guys should watch my tutor friend, some ppl consider it as the second My Sassy girl... not as good, but funny!!!!

nanda · Post by **nanda** » Feb 18th, '04, 17:34

My sassy girl is very good ...but the best is "the classic" !!!!!!

Sorimachi Takeshi · Post by **Sorimachi Takeshi** » Feb 20th, '04, 10:22

my favorite are My Wife Is A Gangaster and My Wife Is A Gangaster 2, these films are so cool

soyabean123 · Post by **soyabean123** » Feb 22nd, '04, 05:59

OMG!!! Nanda you're so right... I just saw the Classic, it's just sooo sad!! I couldn't stop crying...

It's either as sad as Lovers'Concerto or more I guess... *snif snif*

Post by **xiaryx** » Feb 22nd, '04, 08:12

I just modified the list with JSA..since it is a decent movie it should be among the top 10 list..

witica · Post by **witica** » Feb 22nd, '04, 08:12

gee, so much votes for my sassy girl. to bad it's getting the "american" treatment (like the ring)

my passion is in horror flicks though so i loved the korean movie the phone

Post by **geoffropuff** » Feb 22nd, '04, 11:47

i really hope that the american treatment doesnt butcher the hell out of it like i know it will. oh well. i own an official region 3 copy of it, so i'm not gonna complain if the american one is horrible. jeon ji hyun will soothe my burning eyes.

nanda · Post by **nanda** » Feb 22nd, '04, 13:32

ryuushin · Post by **ryuushin** » Sep 16th, '04, 02:24

Man I loved my Sassy girl.. reminded me of my life.. but it was also my first korean movie.. then bro My wife is a ganster..

ya! · Post by **ya!** » Sep 21st, '04, 07:47

yah, My sassy Girl was my first korean movie also, and i loved it sooo much!! Also Lovers Concerto and Il Mare are good!

Post by **lilswtangel** » Oct 23rd, '04, 08:22

It was a tough choice between "My Sassy Girl", "Il Mare", and "The Classic" but i guess i chose "Il Mare" because of the uniqueness of its theme.

i mean the plot isn't credible but it makes me want to believe that you can alter destiny whereas the other two destiny has its way in the future.

cmdac · Post by **cmdac** » Oct 23rd, '04, 09:09

Hello. I think The Guy is So Cool is very good and of course, I love The Classic.

aziatik · Post by **aziatik** » Feb 24th, '05, 19:17

you shouldn't have put my sassy girl up there!! is this a real poll?? lol Gotta say i really liked Marrying the Mafia. don't see up there as one of the choices. But fav non comedy/love story, that would probably win in another poll would be Chingu (Friend)

kali4niaguy · Post by **kali4niaguy** » Feb 24th, '05, 21:40

my 1st K-movie was My Sassy Girl, i've watched many other K-movies, but no other 1s have made me laugh as much.

i'll watch any movie with Jun Ji Hyun.

i also like:
Il Mare
The Classic
Windstruck
My Little Bride
Old Boy
A Day
S Diary
Lover's Concerto
When I Turned Nine
A Moment to Remember (just recently watched it) Son Ye-Jin

and many many more. wasn't there another movie thread??
i need to get ahold of these 4 (Art Museum by the Zoo; Christmas in August; Joint Security Area; and Guns and Talks) since i haven't seen them yet.

if any1 knows where i can get them, pm me....please? i tried ed2k for JSA, but there were no seeders for it.

i did like the movie, but it's hard to find a movie i didn't like!

ShaolinMunky · Post by **ShaolinMunky** » Feb 24th, '05, 23:30

Comedy
Who's Got The Tape?
Sex Is Zero
Romantic Assassins or Romantic Warriors

Romance
Lover's Concerto
My Sassy Girl (remember my previous Avatar???)
The Classic
A Momement to Remember<---new to the list
Il Mare
Ing
Christmas In August (when watching this movie you have to consider the fact that the movie is a film and the genious of the film is that the viewer gets more of a reaction out of the things that goes unsaid instead of things that have been said)

and others
Old Boy
Tae Gu Ki
Mr. Gams Victory or Superstar Mr Gam
My Brother
Guns and Talks (My favorite part is then they make an allusion to "The Professional" with Jean Reno)

i thought wolf's attraction was pretty good too but i guess its not on the list. My Sassy Girl was funny and cute but its not my all time favorite..actually i really dont know what movie is really super good

garnet07 · Post by **garnet07** » Feb 25th, '05, 02:13

Ya my most favorite of all time was My Sassy Girl. It's what got me into Korean Movies and then Dramas in the first place. My whole dorm was watching it so was watching it with friends and everyone laughed so much. Next is probably My Tutor Friend and The Classic. Wanee and Junna was too dragging - dont like it. Please Teach Me English <- It was very funny, but I didnt recognize that the main actress was actually the main girl from Ruler of Your Own World and the guy always plays comedies from Volcano High <-watched the American dubbed version in MTV, hmm I want to see the real one with their real voices. and I watched Ing<- very good also, and very sad. Are there other Korean movies out there, I might have forgotten some that I have already seen.

I've only watched 2 Korean movies and those are My Sassy Girl and Windstruck. I like My Sassy Girl more than the latter although for me, it's not something that I can watch over and over again.

I'm definitely gonna be getting myself more Korean movies and drama because after watching Full House, I am hooked on kdramas and movies.

lets see.... i would also have to say my fav is My Sassy Girl but i like a lot of other korean movies... got like 100 and only seen like 20 lol but so far id say:
1. My Sassy Girl
2. Taegukgi
3. A Moment to Remember (son ye jin....

)
4. Guns & Talks
5. Ill Mare
6. My Little Bride
....
MOST of the romantic comedies are good

WORST so far:
1. This Charming Girl... O...M....G the slowest crappiest movie you will want to skip b/c it taints the korean movie genre... i have never been so bored in my life...
2. Pisces... The beginning was ok but after while it was like... ok... sure... ya... enough... its not that bad bad but ive seen a hella lot better korean movies (except this charming girl lol)

You actually liked barking dogs never bite? Man that movie was so bad! I've got the weird thing that I usually finish every movie I watch, even though I don't like them (at first, but it may be better later, right?

), but that movie was just pure crap... Not one time did it made me laugh! It was just so sad, I hate that guy
