Ok, I watched this Korean movie today http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0409072
Its by the same guy who did My Sassy Girl. The lead girl is again sassy, she's a police officer, the guy is a teacher. They met when she was chasing a bagsnatcher, he was a brave citizen who was also pursuing the snatcher. But she pulled him down cos she thought he was the snatcher's accomplice. They spend more time together, he does nice things for her, she does some crazy and downright mean things to him (hey, she's sassy!). I cant say much more without giving away the story.
This is quite a difficult movie to review due to the major plot development. The structure of the film is similar to that in MSG, in that the first half is quite humourous while the second is more dramatic. some criticisms I have are that it requires suspension of belief a great deal. For example, at one point of the movie, he tries to kiss her and closes his eyes at which point she presses a burning stick against his mouth. I know she's supposed to be sassy and it was followed by a funny scene where she refused to apologise, but at the same time, she injured him and then refused to apologise! The movie is also quite long. At some points, you think its about to end when it suddenly keeps going. The direction is not as good as that in MSG. The drama is also a bit heavy handed, although i cant complain cos it made me cry. *blush*
In all, quite enjoyable but not without its flaws
Enjoy-o-meter =3.5/5
