Seduzindo o Sr. Perfeito

"Min Jun" (Jeong-hwa Eom) is preoccupied while driving on her way to work one morning and accidentally rear-ends the car in front of her which is stopped at a red light. When the driver, "Robin Heiden" (Daniel Henney) gets out to collect her insurance information Min Jun (aka "June") pretends not to be able to speak English. As luck would have it Robin sees through her ploy and after obtaining the necessary information continues on his way. That same morning June is taken to meet the new manager of the conglomerate in which she works and it turns out that her new boss is-Robin Heiden. Obviously, it's just not her day--and things are about to become even worse. Now rather than give away any more of the story and risk ruining the film for those who haven't seen it I will just say that this was a pretty good Korean romantic-comedy. I especially liked the performance of Miss Jeong-hwa Eom who was both funny and adorable as well. In any case, provided a person doesn't mind watching a film in another language with English subtitles then this is a fine addition to the rom-com genre and definitely worth the time spent. Above average.

Well, "perfect" is a bit much. In looks, definitely a 9. 9½, perhaps.

From the moment this movie began, I got Pretty Woman-vibes. Yes, even before the plot was revealed. And then I was justified, even down to the female-love interest being paid by the male-half. Though...not as a prostitute.

Super-strict President of a worldwide-based firm travels from USA to Korea to settle a deal and in the meantime, he gives harsh/realistic love advice to his assigned assistant. Will they/won't they before he has to travel back home?

While NOWHERE near as good as Pretty Woman, it still has its charms and chemistry between the leads. It's also not as deep or funny, but I did laugh at times. It's cute and harmless, except for the length. A good 15 repetitive minutes could've been cut. Especially several unnecessary/redundant subplots that were just more roadblocks for their romance.

I liked it and would recommend it. Seen better, but seeing the absolute Henney Hunk for nearly 2 hours was something I wouldn't mind seeing again.

Final Thoughts: This was SOOO close to the Julia Roberts Romcom, the title character was literally channeling Richard Gere. If I didn't already know Asian actor Daniel Henney was born in the USA and spoke all his own mostly-in-English dialogue, I'd swore it was dubbed over by Richard Gere. They both sound exactly the same and even share the same mannerisms.

This is a fantastic movie. An out and out Mills & Boon romance with a dash of comedy keeps us entertained from the first scene to the end. Superb direction by Sang-Woo Kim (Nominated for this pic for the Best Director - Grand Bell Award.) Great cinematography. Fantastic acting by the hero, Daniel Henney (nominated for this pic in the Best New Actor category), as the (ultimate, M&B hero) boss and Jeong-hwa Eom as his Analyst Assistant who is a softie when it comes to love and is a prime candidate for being dumped by her boyfriends.

The chemistry by the two leading actors is as excellent as the chemistry between Richard Gere and Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman. A must see movie for all Mills & Boon readers and Romance movie fans. Go fall in love!!!!!!!

I had never heard of this film. This film kinda reminded me of He Is Not That Into You. Like in that movie(HINTIY), Min-jun is not relationship savvy. She tries her best,but the harder she tries, it just seems to push them away. In comes Mr Robin Heiden who is not so nice in giving her unwanted advice in all things she is doing wrong. I found this film funny, tender and the romance sprinkled through out the film in such a perfect way that each time those moments came, they took my breath away. I suggest that someone please write something more current for Daniel Henney(playing Robin Heiden in the film, he is such a delight to watch. I couldn't wait for this film to be over, just so that I could see it again ;-P

The whole movie was an 8 or 9 at max up until the last 3 MINUTES!! I mean it seems to me that the director said "enough with it, just end it right now!"

I mean he confessed his feelings in the end while still maintaining his cold attitude and she without any self-respect just accepted him.

And then came the last scene. I mean seriously that was the most abrupt ending i have ever seen in a movie.

6/10 only because of me watching this movie because of Uhm Jung-hwa
