Where was I back in 2001 when My Sassy Girl was released? I cannot recall. I kept missing on the opportunity to watch this monster hit six years ago. Whenever I visit Hong Kong, I always try to look this title up with no luck. Just last month, when I placed my order for the album of a Japanese artist YUI at HMV.com.hk, I ordered the DVD version of My Sassy Girl (2001) as well as its, some may say, prequel Windstruck (2004) to save more on shipment charges (shipment cost per item goes down if I order more … buy more to save more does make sense?).
Six years of anticipation for My Sassy Girl was worth it as I enjoyed every moment of this 2 hours movie. Windstruck (another 2 hours long movie) has a higher production quality and if I am going to watch them again, I would watch Windstruck first followed by My Sassy Girl. Not too much because of the sequence but rather I enjoy My Sassy Girl a lot more.
I am actually quite a big fan of the actress Jun Ji-hyun. I did enjoy Daisy (2006) and plan to pick up Il Mare (2000). Il Mare was remade by Warner Brothers starring Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves as The Lake House (2006).

oh man, i loved this 2 shows too!! Jun Ji Hyun is abosolutely gorgeous, well not in a traditional stick thin kinda way – she has a little baby fat. but she is just so pretty!
i loved sassy girl because its more light hearted. i mean seriously she made being rough look so cool and lovely! but windstruck opened the floodgates after the first hour, when Jang Hyuk was ‘drowned’. and i was crying all the way to the end. haha! I got Windstruck soundtrack too, and it was great too!! Loved Tears by X-Japan.
A little belated comment, but these 2 rank high on being my fav k-movie.
Suet – And she has attitude too! Oh, I think you have just reminded me of how sad Windstruck is. That’s why when I watch them again, I will watch that first before My Sassy Girl.
I think these two K-movies are my top 2 favorite films
