Nae yeojachingureul sogae habnida (2004)
Could have been much, much better
Every once in a while, we get a well made, incredibly original and fresh romantic comedy such as My Sassy Girl. However, to be honest, I think My Sassy Girl's formula is best not repeated, because it is what made the film unique. I felt as if this film (Windstruck) was way over done, and it seemed like MSG, except it wasn't as in depth. The relationship within the film seemed so shallow and degraded the overall plot development. The 'hip hop' music video segments during supposedly emotional parts further spoiled my enjoyment. Overall, I thought it was too sappy, but I have to say that the last scene of the film saved the film from complete disaster.

Decent
Good, but not great. I thought the plot progression throughout the film was quite weak, unlike in My Sassy Girl. The plot wasn't half bad, but I would've appreciated it a lot more if it wasn't so predictable and if it wasn't charged with so many clichéd themes. The acting was pretty good, and Jun Ji Hyun basically saved this film completely, mostly because she's the prettiest girl in the world, and she's one of the most charismatic, convincing and greatest actresses out there. However, the character development throughout the film was just too thin, and I felt this film was rushed. Visually, the cinematography was quite good throughout the film and really sets the mood of the film, but I think the clichéd plot was unforgivable. Oh well, it was a decent effort.
