Date: 14/12/06
Favourite Aspect: The gorgeous Kim Ah-jung and her incredible singing
Least Favourite Aspect: Too many cliches
Rating: B- / 3.5/5
As a Whole: This film was adapted from the Japanese Manga 'Kanna-san, Daiseikou desu' Suzuki Yumiko, and had such a wonderful premise which attracted me to it initially. Usually I do not indulge in Korean films or dramas but the plotline just seemed so hilarious. I loved the gorgeous Kim Ah-jung she was incredible, and her singing was brilliant. The storyline however threatened to drag the longer the movie progressed, and I found myself unable to laugh at the little bursts of humour the director attempted to interject throughout. I think the movie would have actually been rather funny without the director attempting to permeate the movie with little bouts of humour as the premise of the plot itself was interesting and funny enough without. In any case, it was an enjoyable movie. Some things I didn't quite understand, like how her love suddenly realises that she is Kang Hanna, but in any other case, an enjoyable film to watch when you have nothing to do.
