I had heard before that some young women choose their future husbands, just based on what their blood type is. Any guy who is of blood B type is just being shunned upon. So, watching this romantic comedy which is based on a college student who wants to choose her own future husband by herself, not based all those silly ways which her cousin swore by is kind of interesting.

Anyhow, I did saw the DVD version of this movie some time back. Through those dubbing and subtitles.

Young-bin and Ha-mi meet by accident after a row over him ruining her cellphone. She thinks he and she were destined to meet, but the problem is, he has blood-type B. But Ha-mi's cousin wanted Young-bin out of Ha-mi's life just because she found what was his blood type.

But Ha-mi's blood type is A, and it's often being said that girls of that blood type are firm in what they are doing. Thus all the comedy and drama coming in.

I did have a good time watching it.

This film is nothing really special and for some guy not accustomed with Korean popular culture, almost incomprehensible. Of course, being Asian and all, there is probably a theme of male superiority and female submissiveness that feels natural to them and weird to us.

Nevertheless, the film is funny enough. Crazy chick tries to split her roommate from her boyfriend because he is type B. Nice premise, however, this only takes a very short time, the rest is just the guy being a jerk and the girl being really patient. In the end, he just falls in love with her, contrary to the character he showed until then.

Bottom line: easy to watch romantic movie, with Korean quirks, something like a reversal of The Taming of the Shrew.

I hope people will not think male Koreans are jerks and jackasses because of this movie. There are a lot of movies that shows lovestory based on fortune but not this one. Do not watch this one.
