Miseuteo Robin ggosigi

It is funny in some parts. Some. Touching in some. Some. But there are times where you know where its going and wish they'd hurry up and go there. Its not just the ending you figured out five minutes in. It is certain scenes that play out way too long towards their inevitable conclusion. Makes this movie way too long. Its not giving anything away. Boy meets girl and seem to hate each other. You know the rest.

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

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.

"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.
