I
hated the American version of this movie.
Sure,
I was a fan of Elisha Cuthbert. Who
didn’t like seeing her fiery, impish persona in Girl Next Door? When I heard the news that she’ll star in the
American remake of My Sassy Girl,
one of the most successful Asian films ever, I was giddy. Her devilish charm is
perfect in bringing the life of the random girl that gave a guy pain.
Unfortunately
she was cast as Jordan.
True
story.

You
see, American producers led by Korean-American
Roy Lee failed to capture the essence of the character by giving her a
name. Actually, they failed to capture the essence of the movie... period. The
American remake of My Sassy Girl was one of the various busts created by Roy
Lee. He said that he wanted to remake Asian movies to capture the creative
goodness of the Orient. Not only did he not accomplish “it” (by “it” I mean
making it good), it bombed at the box office. Most of these movies go
straight-to-DVD because screening it in various parts of the US will make
cinema houses riot because of their sappy crap conversions.
Anyway,
My Sassy Girl introduced the world to Jeon
Ji-Hyun. The girl became a superb box office draw since. She starred in a
bunch of films like Windstruck, The
Uninvited, and Il Mare and will follow Rain as she will have her American
film debut before the year ends.
Cha Tae-Hyun, who played the masochistic boy
toy in the movie, also gained acclaim as a top-grossing actor. He gets paired
up in TV and film with popular celebs and
Hopefully
you guys are familiar with the film I batched up and pulled from Youtube. Sure, it could have been
shortened and the carnival scene could have been avoided but nonetheless this
is a beautiful story about that sweet but sadistic hottie that is bent to
torment his kind but freedom-loving pseudo boyfriend.
Anyway,
since the Youtube video provider disabled the embed button, you can start
crying by clicking the PHRASE UNDERNEATH THE PICTURE! Sure there are a lot
of My Sassy Girl videos on the site but this was in HD and it doesn’t have Singlish subtitles. It also has great
audio quality.

Game
over!
