A Bela e a Fera (2005)

To start off - I loved this movie! It was really funny in parts, different than what I'd first expected of the movie, but in a good way (: I'm definitely counting this movie as one of my favorites! Hae-Joo is a blind girl who gets surgery and is able to see for the first time. Dong Geun is her boyfriend who didn't expect this to happen, considering he told her that he was a good-looking guy...when he falls beneath the standards. Although, IMO, he isn't that horrible looking, he may not be the best looking guy but he's not ugly. Embarrassed he hides away from her. The events that take place in this movie make you laugh and fall in love with the characters.



I previously saw Shin Min Ah in My Girlfriend Is A Gumiho and I loved her acting as Mi Ho in that drama. Her role in this movie is different, but her acting is really well done. I've never seen Kim Kang Woo or Ryoo Seung Bum in anything else, but I really enjoyed watching them in this movie (:



The music isn't anything special, nothing really stood out to me.



I definitely can see myself watching this movie again, I loved it (:



Overall - watch it! If you're looking for something cute and funny it's definitely worth looking into (:

this thing was hilarious. my fav actors kim kang fkn woo and shin min ah. kang woo i swear was made on the 8th day coz everything i see him in i fall in love hes just too beautiful. the story is amazing and funny. shin min ah has always been my favorite actress. all her roles she does the perfectly and her dimples and cuteness make u fall for her too. she's a beautiful blind girl dating a beast but the beast lies and tells her hes good looking. she finally opens her eyes and did not expect the turn of events. the soul singer in the movie is awsome even the 8th dragon guy.

I liked the unique take on an old classic. Unattractive person gains the affections of an attractive person. However, instead of the unattractive and unpopular one being the female lead it is the male lead. Even that has a twist. Our heroine is blind and falls head over heels for Dong Gun but when she regains her sight he determines that he’s not attractive enough for the gorgeous Hae Joo. Antics and hilarity ensue as Dong Gun does his best to avoid Hae Joo and even attempt to push her into the more attractive arms of his high school rival Jun Ha. This was an extremely straightforward and laid-back watch. It was fun, but I don’t know that I’d watch it again.

Such fun!

If you want to take a break for heavier drama fare, this is a great watch! It was laugh out loud funny in numerous places and had a cast of lovable characters.

It's a story about love, a love that is based on the person inside, not the outward appearance. Hae Joo (Shin Min Ah is wonderful, as usual. She is just gorgeous as well) and Dong Geum (Ryu Seung Beom - lovely to watch. He's great at physical comedy and his expressions are priceless!) are in love. He is her eyes, basically, as she is blind. I loved the scenes of him describing things to her. She is having eye surgery to regain her eyesight, and Dong Geum feels that he isn't attractive enough for her, so he decides to bow out of the relationship. He makes excuse after excuse to stay away from her and policeman Jun Ha enters the picture (Kim Kang Woo was terrific and one of the most well-written SMLs that I've seen), trying to win her love. Dong Geum takes up with Do Shik (Ahn Kil Kang - he was hysterical in this !), and Do Shik keeps trying to help Dong Geum kill Jun Ha off.

This was a movie that absolutely didn't take itself too seriously and I enjoyed the whole thing. I found myself smiling and laughing through the whole thing.

The music in the jazz club was excellent, as well.
