This movie was awesome! The story was very interesting. It perfectly explains and builds up the motivation behind the assassination. The actors where really great. The bad guy is the personification is evil itself, no doubt about that. As for 13 assassins, each other them have a unique personality. The fighting scenes were well made and very intriguing. The ending might be a bit confusing if you watch the cut version for it left out some subtleties that give more explanation on a particular character. Hence, for the greater experience of the movie, try to watch the uncut version.

Overall, it was a pretty good movie and can definitely be rewatched!

This is a genuinely funny, must see, romantic comedy. I knew I would love this movie from the hilarious way that the two main characters first meet. Cha Tae Hyun, & Jun Ji Hyun, play each crazy moment so well, and I loved watching their odd relationship develop. The unpredictable (borderline abusive) behavior of the "sassy girl" is what drives the story, but watching Gyun Woo mature is equally entertaining. Most of the scenes are played for laughs, but there's also a good balance between their funny, and touching moments. I couldn't help but root for their bizarre relationship.

The story is smartly told from beginning to end. It's based on a (supposedly true) blog, so each scene is a highlight marking their time together. Focusing on the highlights helps to fit this pretty long story into a concise film, though some of the leaps in time felt a little too sudden. Though fated love is a familiar theme, this story doesn't take the predictable route. I especially loved the ending, which I never expected, because it tied the whole story together perfectly.

I agree that My Sassy Girl is a classic. An american remake exists, but it's barely worth mentioning. This is definitely the type of movie you can watch over, and over again. I saw this for the 1st time years ago, and it's still just as good rewatching it now. I definitely recommend putting it high up on your Plan to Watch list.

I thought the final was absolutely amazing. The acting was great, of course, and the characters fit together like they did in the drama. The final could have been made into a drama itself. I really loved the storyline of the final, and am really sad that it had to end. The final has some adventure in it which makes you want to keep watching to see what happens next. The ending was the best though. Being a huge fan of Hana Yori Dango, I was so sad to see it end, but seeing the way the final ends, although it is sad, was the perfect ending to one of my favorite dramas of all times. I just wish that the plot of the final was a little bit more clear. I kind of felt that the writers tried to pack so much into the final that it should have been a drama, but I know some people might get tired of the drama continuing on. There was so much fit into the small amount of time that the ending seemed a bit too rushed, and I don't think the time needed in certain scenes was there, but besides that, the final was amazing. It has definitely become one of my favorite endings to a drama, and if you're a Hana Yori Dango fan you won't be disappointed watching the final, because it's worth it.

This movie is twisted! The first time I watched it, my reaction was "what in the world did i just sit through?!" I was ready to just write this movie off as confusing-weirdo-gore, and never think about it again, but I couldn't get it out of my head!

The movie starts out with 54 school girls gleefully jumping in front of a train. This sets the tone for the type of campy gore that is featured throughout the movie. I don't particularly like gore, but I like movies that make me think, and the plot definitely kept me thinking/scratching my head in confusion.

The story is set up as a mystery involving a website, a pop group, and a bag, that are linked to a wave of seemingly random mass suicides. The story is really much bigger than a simple mystery plot. There are a lot of esoteric scenes that turn this movie into an unapologetically ambiguous social commentary (If all of your friends jumped off of a bridge, would you???). The mystery does eventually get solved, but the resolution just leads to more questions. My rewatch value score is high, because my confusion over parts of the story was so high. I honestly think the concept was much stronger than the actual story, and individual scenes were stronger than the plot as a whole. I usually hate movies that put metaphor before plot, but this movie still manages to be so entertaining. The subject matter is serious, but many of the scenes have more of a dark comedy feel, and did I mention it's sort of a musical?

I had to give the soundtrack a 10 because it left such an impression. I love how disturbingly catchy Dessert's songs were, and I still want the "mail me" ringtone. I have no idea why the Genesis' character starts randomly singing, but his song was also stuck in my head afterwards. I admit that a couple of the songs made it onto my iPod.

This movie is a hard one to recommend. It took a second viewing for me to realize that I actually liked it, and I do now own it. If you can handle a little gore, and and feel like watching something unconventional, I'd say give it a try. Join the club ; )

This an obvious and obligatory choice of what to watch after you’ve watched Tokyo Friends the Drama, since it tell the continuation of the story and you can think it will be even better.

However, this was not totally up to my expectations. The first huge and main mistake is the fact that half of the story is before the end of the drama. They kind of go back to start the story, they even repeat the last marriage scene (although with different dresses, wonder why). That makes it less exciting and you kind of start losing the enthusiasm to watch the rest. The second half followed the same heartwarming way of telling the story, with Rei meeting Ryuuji and them having to make choices about them as a couple and the dreams they both have yet to accomplish, although the pace was somehow a little bit too slow in my opinion.

Nevertheless, you can’t help but watch till the end to know what happens. At first I didn’t like the end (so, what happened to them? You may ask) but then I understood it: it makes you think that life goes on, that you have to keep fighting for your dreams and sometimes changing it as you go. The fact that it was not a closed “happy forever after” ending made it look more real.

They picked the perfect girl to play Rio!.. Her character has so many different personalities and she did an awsome job!.. Professor Ozawa is just an amazing actor and also hot!.. they had a gr8 chemistry and the story itself was great, it shows what is happening in society these days!.. Because I am a single-mom with a daughter, some issues in the movie got me thinking about my own daughter's safety! I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT THE AGE-GAP BUT OTHER ISSUES!(u will know if you watch it lol)... A MUST-WATCH MOVIE AND I LOVEEEEE IT....The age-gap actually was the best part of it hehehehehe!! they sooo cute!..

Talk about a coming of age love story. This is NOT a story about a boy growing up and facing difficulties because he has fallen in love with a girl. This is a story about a boy who has to face the responsibilities of being a young, single father.

When a young trouble maker -whose parents pretty much run away from home because they cannot stand his bad behavior- finds a baby in his basket, he has to face the realities and hardships of becoming a single parent, with no support, while going to school.

This story made me laugh and cry. It's very cute, light, but not TOO fluffy. This was a very enjoyable movie. The baby is absolutely cute. My newly found love for Jan Jeung Suk continues. He is REALLY pretty to look at. I'm not going to tell you that this is the greatest movie out there, but it was extremely enjoyable from beginning to end. I was not bored at any point of the story and was touched by it. Highly recommend.

I rarely write reviews , but this time I just couldn't help it . This movie portrays the real meaning of a man loving a woman . If you watch this you will love the main actors , at first you will think that the lead is such a cutie but then as the story develops you see his manly , sexy and hot side which will make your heart go crazy ! "If only a guy like that exists in real life " that's what I ended up saying after watching this ! The story line is really sweet , emotional and sad . You will most certainly love the fighting scenes . I totally recommend this movie , just believe me and give it a try . You will never regret it .

Okay, so I finally finished watching this movie and honestly I don't know if I like it or not. I was really looking forward to watching this movie because I really like the main actor and actress but this movie was disappointing. For me it wasn't as romantic as they said it would be. It was sometimes funny though. Joong Ki is really adorable and he had really cute and funny moments in the movie and I think that was the only things I enjoyed while watching the movie. It wasn't as funny as what they described it to be. I don't even remember a lot of things that was going on in the movie because I was busy looking forward to the romance, but there wasn't even any. The acting was good but I don't think the story did justice towards the acting. It was an okay movie, for me at least.

(this is my 1st review so please be kind plus my first language isn't English but french so forgive the grammar and spelling errors please and thank you:D)

I just finished it and i got to say at first i didn't think that they knew each others feelings since they never really spoke about it to me they just looked like really close childhood friends ... but apparently in this movie "feelings don't need to be spoken" seems to be there quote :)
I didn't really get why the two families were fighting over and why they were so against the two leads ... kind of like the really story of romeo and Juliette. And just like in the book there love (even tho they don't express it very much) felt real, pure, sincere and deep. Which is basically due to the Great acting of the actors they had chemistry it felt real.
The ending on the other and left me ... unsatisfied? it was weird it was not a bad or sad ending but it didn't have that "happily ever after" you wish for during the movie :S

To conclude this movie was great except for the disappointing ending that's why u gave it an 8/10
