Too Beautiful to Lie

Cute movie!  Will rant somemore some other time.

8/10

4th Period Mystery

For some reason, I suddenly felt the urge to watch some scarier stuff.  I watched Death Bell, which I am not going to blog about because it was rather disturbing despite the laugh I got during the ending credits, and then I decided to watch this.  Looked a little safer.  And yes, this movie is more mystery than horror.

Jeung Hun is the school's pride and joy being that he scored the highest in the nation.  Truth is, he's really just a boy.  He gets in fights and deals with adoring fangirls.  Da Jeong is a quiet, outcast in her class who is a crime fan to the extreme.  When Jeung Hun finds the murdered body of Tae Gyu, a trouble making boy from his class, he realizes that he is the biggest suspect.  However, Da Jeong stumbles on the scene too, and they decide to work together to find out who really did it.  Trouble is, they only have until 4th period is over.

As far as the story goes, its a classic mystery.  Its fun to see Da Jeong whip out her secret stash of detective skills.  It's even more fun to watch Jeung Hun gape at her in awe and quickly budding attraction.  I enjoyed watching this movie a lot!

10/10.  Lame review, but I really did love this movie!

Project Makeover

I guess this movie is also called Go Go Sister.  Hmmm... not sure why.  Anyway, I liked this movie.  It was a cute take on the idea of going back in time to fix your regrets.  I'm not going to say a lot, but I really liked how everything turned out.  This movie felt very complete to me, with a happy ending that satisfied.

And to my friends that I sent messages about concerning a Korean Movie I loved, sorry for the confusion.  I was talking about My Girlfriend is an Agent.  But this movie is good, not as good but good, too.

7/10

My Girlfriend is an Agent

This movie rocks!  It has Romance, Action, and Comedy in a fun blend.  So before reading anymore and maybe hitting a spoiler, go watch this movie.  I have a link to the first part of it on youtube.

Okay, now all of you who are still reading, I did warn you.  I loved this movie.  The heroine is amazing!  She's the Xena Warrior Princess style agent.  But I don't just love her moves when kicking bad guy butt.  I love her vengeful woman on a rampage moves too.  She's just plain awesome!  Soo-ji, I wanna be you!

Jae Joon on the other hand is a semi-competent rookie.  His strengths do not lie in the combat category.  He isn't very smooth in disguise, and he screams like a girl.  I laughed every time I heard that.  But he has a whole lot of heart and brains, which is all Soo Ji is asking for really.
Those two aren't the only awesome characters.  Gotta love Won Sook!  I love the actor anyway, but I love the character too.  And that police guy! 
Now the plot is somewhat cliche, but it keeps moving.  Never felt the need to skip a part.  And I laughed all the time!  Its great!  So I totally recommend this movie and I give it full points and a top spot in my fave K Movies list (which hasn't even been made yet).  WATCH NOW!!!
10/10

My Little Bride

Okay, this is not your usual romantic movie.  Especially since the girl is getting married at 15.  You have to rely a lot on aspects of Korean culture that we do not understand.  Nevertheless, I enjoyed this playful, cute story for its uniqueness.

So sweet!  7/10

Romantic Island

This Korean movie starred several actors I have seen in other shows (i.e. Eugene and Min-gi Lee from I Really Really Like You), so it was easy to decide to watch it.  The story is actually a whirlwind of three different couples that end up vacationing in the Philipines at the same time.  My favorite couple was Kang and Choi (or should I say Joseph and Alice!  hee!).
Very much a romance film, I was left happy and satisfied at the end.  There are some fun tricks made with chronology and flashback that simply improved the emotional value there at the end.

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie.  7/10
