I Love Cheese


Anti-Valentines Day cookie from the Fine Arts bake sale. ^_^ Yum.

Anyway, biting my thumb at the spirit of the day, I did not buy any chocolate or cards (although I plan to purchase many of the former at Shoppers tomorrow, when all choco-love is on sale). But I do recommend the following "romantic" movie to everyone -- My Sassy Girl.

I'm sure many of you have seen this already, but for those who haven't 'tis very good. Actually a good romantic comedy. I mean, it's SLAPSTICK. Excellent. It was released in 2001 in Korea and is about:

The story kicks off with college student Kyun-woo crossing paths with a drunk girl on a late-night subway. Just before she passes out, the girl looks at Kyun-woo and calls him 'honey'. The other passengers, assuming him to be the hapless girl's boyfriend, demand that Kyun-woo look after her. After carrying her on his back for what seems to be miles, Kyun-woo drops the girl off at a yeogwon (cheap motel). But instead of leaving her and getting on his way, Kyun-woo finds himself intrigued by the nameless girl and vows to do whatever he can to heal her sorrow.

She's having none of that sissy crap though and her dramatic mood swings are outmatched only by her penchant for sociopathic behaviour. Plus she quickly manages to wrap our wimp hero around her little finger, and finds ways to torment his as their quirky friendship and romance grows.

Go watch. Go, go.
