By accident she finds out that the damage to Hyung-Joon’s car only costs $10! She then takes her revenge. However, before she knows it Hyung-Joon shows up at her house as her new tutor! He once again takes advantage of her, but soon Ha-Young finds herself falling head over heels for Hyung-Joon. But what happens when he drops out of her life just when she needs him most?

Review: I love this movie.  It is pretty frickin’ funny.  Ha Ji Won and Kim Jae Won are just hilarious together.  Some of the things are just so subtle and yet so funny.  I still remember the beginning scene where she is sleeping in class and screams when she wakes up and the teacher is there picking his nose.  Absolutely nasty, but still super funny.  Cracks me up everytime.

This movie is definitely one of my favorites with one of my favorite actors, Kim Jae Won.  Ha Ji Won is also great, just some of the expression she makes are absolutely hilarious and some of them make her look insane.  Like this poster to the left, she looks like she needs to be in a rubber room wearing and straight jacket…lol…

The storyline in this movie is pretty good as well.  Sometimes romantic comedies can sometimes stop being funny like half way through, I think that the romance and comedy blended in this movie.  While they were developing their love for each other, there was still funny moments.  And they had a nice chemistry together, it was nothing too over the top, but I thought what they had together was genuine in this movie.

So, I would definitely recommend this to anyone, it was a pretty awesome movie, especially if you wanna laugh your ass off.  For Kim Jae Won fans and Ha Ji Won fans, this movie is a must!  Here are the links and enjoy!!
