When you'll see this movie poster with a cute toothless grandma with an equally cutie-pie looking grandchild putting their hands on each other's shoulders smiling TOTALLY ADORABLY at you, it won't take seconds to make you go grab your popcorn and turn off the lights to watch this movie sitting in front of your PC (at least, it was successful enough to make me do so)!!!
The first reason to like this movie is to prove that you have a HEART!
The second reason comes from the actors themselves! I was wrong about the poster…this kid is DEFINITELY NOT some sweetie pie! The country lifestyle comes as a bit of shock to the videogame-playing-hyper-spoiled Sang-woo! Frustrated by his new home, Sang-woo begin to lash out, which includes calling his grandmother a 'retard'! Kiddo's selfishness will make your hands go ga-ga to give him couple of slaps, but if you have patience on the level of Granny's, the payoff is BIG!! Without the benefit of dialogue, Granny's weathered face & simple expressions give her character an air of quiet dignity, stoic determination, and unwavering love! There'll come times when you'd want granny to give that brat some spanks with her walking stick but her patience will make your soul cry…she gives her grandchild tons of love worth more than things he could ever want for!! Obviously she can't talk…but, instead of noise, her life is filled with beautiful views that she watches silently, absorbing the beautiful still calmness that her mountain home gives her! Granny ROCKS!!!
And, the third reason to like this movie is its contrast of silence with the scenery…think of calling this movie BORING, you'll see the wrath of heavens!!!
I don't know if the ending made me feel disappointed with the kid or not! But, definitely, the one who ended up taking my heart away was the 77 years old grandma! Have to say…after watching this movie I really missed my enni (read granny!)…I swear, you'd agree with me that being a grandmother must be a thankless job after watching 70 minutes of ungratefulness!!

Just for trivia I had studied: Alzheimer's disease is rare for 20+ age. It usually occurs at old age. It's unusual for a young woman like the protagonist.
I will HIGLY RECOMMEND this one: this MOVIE portrays a TRUE AND FAITHFUL LOVE. And a MAN WHO WILL SURELY BE THE ONE YOU WANT TO HAVE FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE :)

Love it for Song Hye Kyo and her leading man, hated it because of how the whole plot line was executed. Though in history, I already knew how it was going to end, I still had that tiny bit of hope that they would do something colorful about it so it wouldn't be much of a hard blow to watch. I guess have put too much expectation on my plate.
Cinematography wise, everything was beautiful, literally. Even the brothel itself was fixed up nicely. Music score was a plus, since it did help out build the drama, but it wasn't something I would remember forever. The story was a bit draggy and berserk, it swung from one plot to another and I hate having that kind of story line in the movies I watch.
So what other perk do I have with this movie aside from the leading actress? It was the fight scenes and Hwang Jin Yi's clothes.
Firstly, the fight scenes were choreographed carefully that it had really great results. Watching these fights were awesome, never mind the blood and gore, it was all good to watch. Secondly, Hwang Jin Yi's Hanbok were breathe taking. It had so many details in it and definitely glamorous even for a courtesan. I guess the fashion designer did put a hint of modernization on her dress although it was supposed to be on the Jeoseon era. Anyways, she was one of the greatest Gisaeng's after all. I guess the least producers can do was dress her nicely to cover off the sub-par story line.

Acting/Cast: I loved the acting/cast so much. So freaking much. I think my favorite part about the cast is that none of them were really overly attractive. In most movies about sex, it seems like everybody is built like a Greek god, whereas this movie had people who just seemed normal.
Yoo Chae Young was, without a doubt, the best part of this movie for me though. She was perfect in her role.
Music: Aside from a few parts of the movie where the actors were singing, I don't even remember there being any music in this movie.
Rewatch: I could see myself watching this over and over again. It had a perfect blend of comedy (seriously, the comedic parts were fantastic) and romance that I really enjoyed.
Overall: Overall, this definitely gets a 10 in my book. Even though it was seriously lacking in the story department, the rest of the movie made up for it.

I'm in love xDStory:
At first i thought since it's Korean they'll probably like barely talk about sex and it's mostly going to be another story... WRONG ON SO MANY LEVELS! Even I was shocked at how deep they went into the sex theme ok let's not go ever board they go into enough not to make it porn... It felt like some sort of Korean sex ed tape xD but with a romance lots of comedy and touching moments :)
Acting/Cast:
Oh the cast was just perfect I wouldn't change anyone they are all to perfect for the roles they played ESPECIALLY the teen boys...
They're acting was so real at time I was wondering if there weren't "doing it" for real xD
They are all very funny and great guys and you get attached to them by the end of the film :)
Of course MY Kim Sun Ah just priceless acting as always, I love this girl so much cause even if she always plays a sweet character her acting adds a little "je ne sais quoi" to the character and to the movie/drama
Music:
I was to focused on the movie to focus on the music xD
*sorry sorry*
Ah! but the last song I do remember ... NO SPOILERS sorry you'll have to watch it to know xD
Rewatch:
Heck yeah it's just to funny it's one of those movies you can watch when bored on a rainy day when your sad or simply just want a simple but good laugh or with friends (I do not advise you to watch it with family members cause it will be very awkward :S)
Overal:
10 out of 10 it just won my hear I love it so much I'm gonna add it to my fav. movie list right now :D

Because the movie is just over a hour and a half it seems to fly by. There is nothing complicated about this film. No crazy drama between any of the characters. This is a slowed paced and sweet film. I really enjoyed it and would watch it again. If you're a fan of Vic, I would give it a try. You might be pleasantly suprised.

Despite all this, the film did have its charm, I guess. That's why it's a 6 and not a 5 or lower.

If a movie is not officially labeled as a "musical," or intentionally adapted from a Broadway play, PLEASE do not allow for random fits of song and dance to interject themselves into a plot line. It is awkward for us as an audience, and probably not particularly pleasant for the actors involved, either.
Thank you for your consideration,

I am not a fan of musicals in general. BUT, if I at least *know* that something is a musical going into it, I can prepare myself for it. Fair enough. But if you break into song and dance without pretense, rhyme or reason, I find it extremely awkward, and thus become a little agitated.
That bit of bias aside...
This movie is a very shallow and silly adaptation of a legitimately good story. I find that my complaint with most Korean movies is that they feel rushed and its characters commonly too undeveloped for me to care about them. You're My Pet is a shining example of this.
Jang Geun Suk pretty much does what he's done in other roles he's had similar to this--acted as a kind of rebellious yet "brilliantly talented" something or other. Kim Ha Neul plays her part well enough for what the weak, choppy plot allows. There are perhaps one or two "swoony" moments between the lead characters, but nothing particularly exciting.
Perhaps the best thing about this movie is the cinematography, which is very clean, modern and bright with interesting settings around Seoul. I enjoyed that much, at least.
If you're one of those hard core Jang Geun Suk fans, I suppose it'd be worth the watch for you. He looks pretty. But if you're like me and are a big fan of the Kimi wa Petto franchise (Jdrama and manga), skip this. You'll just be disappointed.

Ok, so the choreography was simply STUNNING! I mean, I have never seen a better use of martial arts, ever. Bourne Identity comes close but this was... the economy of movement, the sword play, it was spectacular. I am getting the DVD for no other reason than to slow down the flight scenes to half speed so I can see those fights in all their glory! The fight scenes were STUNNING! The actor was so gritty, damn. You only get a tiny idea of how amazing it is from the preview, let me tell you... I wish I could look up movies by whoever is in charge of fight scenes. Just, dman.
Ok, no one cares how wonderful the fight scenes were (you better, it was something like >50% of the movie) the music... I really liked it. It was a very powerful sound track that worked well with the movie and the era. A mix of traditional Japanese music and instrumental with some classical thrown in there, it made me feel the era. It was an era of transitions and you felt it from the music alone.
Story wise, this covered the fake Battousai and Gatling gun/Megumi arcs. If you are looking for the manga made into a movie... well, this movie was by no means pure but it did a damn good job. Watching Sano fight was comical, he was the comic relief of the movie, where Kenshin was all sex he was all humor.
After my first paycheck, if it is still in theaters, I am SO going. Just an amazing movie people! The costumes, the sets, just damn. If you want to know anything more specific, email me because I feel that if I continue, it is just going to be one large joygasm about how wonderful the sword play was.
I will comment that the ONLY point I was dissappointed in was that Kenshin did not do his 'I'm so badass with my sakabatou I can slice through concrete' thing.

The story a simple, yet well composed one, Risa Koizumi is a exceptionally tall girl and was rejected by the boy she liked because of her height, Otani Atsushi is a very short boy and was rejected by the girl he liked because of her height, both of them promised they would never fall for someone shorter/taller than them. That is, till they meet in high school.
Now, this movie never really takes itself that seriously, from the dramatic moments, to regular conversation it always twists it into a joke at some points, which, is mostly pulled off well. The plot of it is a very simple plot, but hasn't really been done many times before, I have seen it in a few manga's myself, but none of them really pulled it off the way lovely complex does. The movie contains some quite good acting, especially Koike Teppei as Otani, Risa, played by Fujisawa Ema, also does a good job, but she does sound almost like she is sad, all the way through the movie, which really does work for certain parts of the movie, but takes away from it for others. The music, or lack there of it, is good at best, but it never really sweeps you away, and with the lack of it, you rarely take notice of any music being there. In my opinion, its worth watching again, but some people would note it as a waste of time, so that mainly comes down to you.
As a general it is a good movie, but it never really takes you away on anything, the movie format of it adds in some new memorable moments, but also takes away from key ones from the anime/manga, I give the movie a 7, definitely worth watching, but would probably be more enjoyable if you have never seen the anime.

I love love love romance in any movie but I didn't mind at all that there really wasn't any in this movie because it didn't need it at all. The story of the girls friendship was strong enough to keep the movie going. And the cast was extremely cute and funny throughout the whole movie and during the emotional scenes they acted well.
To my surprise there was a lot of fighting. which i don't mind at all because they made some scenes hilarious.
would definitely recommend this to anyone!

I watched this with a friend and we kind of laughed through it, even though some parts weren't meant to be funny. It wasn't a complete flop of a movie that we we're laughing but it did seem kind of silly at times. I don't remembering being that scared through out it.
The story's interesting. Unpredictable things happen. I would absoltuely watch it again but just because I had so much fun watching it. This is sort of a sucky review but basically if you're just up for an interesting story with some scares here and there I'd watch it. However if you want something that's going to make you hide under your blanket in fear I wouldn't suggest this movie~

The story is very simple, the main character Nagashima Haruna was a very large fan of sports in middle school, and decided in high school she would give it up and become popular, so she can find a boyfriend, problem is Haruna knows nothing about what's popular with guys, till she meets Komiyama Yoh, a handsome and popular boy, and she decides to ask him to become her coach in love, and hesitantly, he agrees to help her out, and thus havoc ensues.
Now I am going to start off and say, if you are looking for deep and heart felt love all the way through, you aren't going to find it here, but if you are looking to literally Roll On the Floor Laughing, you will love this movie, with a decent story, if kind of generic, outstanding acting, constant good music, and a movie you will be able to re watch multiple times (A friend of mine has already re watched it around 7 times) and some truly memorable romantic moments, I couldn't suggest a better movie to fit the category.
As an overall I give it a 9, a pretty generic storyline, but pulled off in such a way you can't help but loving the movie.
