Day 254 - My Little Bride (Korean)

"Bo-eun (Moon Geun-young) is an ordinary 15-year-old high school girl who worries about grades and has a crush on her school's baseball team ace, Jung-woo. One day, Bo-eun's grandfather orders her to marry Sang-min (Kim Rae-won) because of a pact he made with Sang-min's grandfather during the Korean War. Despite the grandchildren's opposition, they are forced to marry because of Bo-eun's grandfather's strong influence. However later on in the story, it is revealed that Sang-min actually loves Bo-eun. Bo-eun's undercover married life begins: She pretends that she doesn't have a husband and starts dating Jung-woo. Bo-eun believes that she can manage both men and live a double life. Everything goes smoothly until Sang-min becomes a student teacher at Bo-eun's school. From there, their relationship begins to grow. After an accident, Bo-eun's family finds out about Jung-woo. After talking to her mother, Bo-eun finally realizes that she loves Sang-min. At the school festival she breaks up with Jung-woo and confesses her feelings to Sang-min in front of the whole school."-wiki

A nice film but screams out a lack of experience. Kim Rae-won was okay in the film but his character should have been seen more without Kim Rae-won's character. My favorite character was actually Hye-won played by Shin Se-kyung who was absolutely beautiful and actually talented. Even though it was her debut it seemed like she was an experienced actress. The chemistry between the two leads are not there until almost towards the end of the film. Some of the cuts were confusing which distracted me from the story. I would like to have seen the romance between the two more but we only get to see the real thing until the end of the film. Don't get me wrong we do get to see some romantic scenes between the two leads but its like watching two "tsunderes". I would suggest this film to those that like romantic comedies.


2/5
