Hi, This is an interesting alternative view point movie in the vein of the 1987 movie Wish You Were Here with Emily Lloyd. Although I don't agree with the arranged marriage this movie is watchable and well made. Thanks :). God bless :). Aaron

This is a sweet tale, despite the inherent ickiness of its initial premise. I went into it with almost no expectations and was pleasantly surprised. The chemistry between the leads is good, although the star here is the heroine. She's got charm and charisma, a sort of wholesomeness that's perfect for the role, and just enough sass to not make her boring. The plot is fun, with just the right comedic turns, and it moves along at a good pace. I liked that it was never shy to point out the weirdness of the setup and to poke fun at it. It's got a good blend of romance and comedy, but more comedy than the former. I didn't particularly care for the side characters, but our main couple was enough to keep me hooked and watching until the end. They're friends, first and foremost, and that really shone through.

When I saw the cover I thought that it was just another cheesy love story between a girl and an older guy.

But as soon as I started watching I couldn't turn away...not for a second. Although the story is not very original, the comedy sure was with an excellent cast and humorous antics that will make you laugh and cry.

Although this may sound clichéd, Seo Bo-eun and Park Sang-min do really make a nice couple. Miss Kim was also another cast member who should receive some recognition for her great acting talent, even though she wasn't a main character.

To all those yet to decide whether to go and borrow or rent this I would really recommend it.

I never was a fan of Korean films, but this one, is a brilliant light comedy with a great cast, very sweet romantic plot and a great array of jokes. It is never getting cheesy or clichéd. Even the very simple love story of two teens getting married at their grandparent's' will, can get very thrilling and never boring. The actors do a great job and the school where much of the events take place looks so nice. Korea is a bit riddle to me here in Russia, but this sweet film opened the veil and showed that Koreans are common people with their sadness, sorrows joys, tears, tragedies and loves. The school is a nice place ti film it all, as it never gets banal or outward silly like in many American comedies of the same genre. having said this, I do recommend this excellent work to all who enjoy light-hearted comedies and the like

Several reviewers took exception at this film's depiction of marriage between an adult (a college student) and a 15 year old high school student. I feel the subject was handled with a lot of sensitivity. Arranged marriages are still frequent in many parts of the world, and deserve a movie about them. Millions of very young women still tie the knot before they are 18, in Asia or the near-east or Africa. Why should the subject be taboo? The film does not condone the practice, as a matter of fact it shows how wrong it could be. The pleasure comes from watching these two young people make what they can with a situation they are not completely responsible for. Although the film is light and often funny, it has its share of pathos. Many will recall the awkwardness of first relationships, they are even more awkward in an arranged marriage.

This movie is very likable. The two stars are fun and charming. The tone is breezy throughout, but very realistic. Many of the clichés are there (THe karaoke scene, the dream scene, the misunderstanding(s) at school...), but they are treated in such an offhand way that they don't feel calculated. For a first film, Ho-joon Kim's direction is assured and precise. One of the best Korean comedies I have seen lately, recommended to put a smile on your face, and make you think...
