Watch My Sassy Girl!

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.

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.
