My Review:

Warning: Do not let the cute picture on the cover fool you! This story was originally a Japanese novel, then a Japanese movie and then this is a Korean movie. Now that being said, I do intend on watching the Japanese version next.

This starts out with a few friends eating together and talking about someone who isn’t there. They talk about how long it has been since they saw him and doubt that he will show. Then out of no where Su Ho walks into view and they great him. Then you see the friends all standing near the water and one starts yelling about how someone ruined Su Ho’s life. You are then dropped into a sort of memory sequence that is basically the rest of the movie explaining what happened to Su Ho. It is a very cute story about two people meeting in high school and falling in love. From there on in you get the usual little quarrels and make ups or a high school romance. And then one day everything takes a turn, from this point on you better have tissues ready to go and lots of them. It takes a few standard Korean drama cues and one tragic thing after another occurs.

I don’t want to ruin it for you or else all the sad parts will not be as meaningful. I have read reviews saying that it is bad movie or that they made it very different from the Japanese movie. I watched My Girl & I with no preconceived notions and I think even if I had known about the Japanese version that I still would have liked My Girl & I. On it’s own it is a wonderful movie about love and first loves. Once I watch the Japanese movie I will write a review and compare the two for myself!

There are many things I like about this movie, it has some great quotes from the movie and many things that they discuss really make you think. Mostly the movie deals with love so most of the discussion are based on relationships and love. For high school kids that have some deep conversations about love. I can’t really remember the music, probably because I was crying so much! But a few of the locations were beautiful and I really liked the town they used. One of my favorite parts in the movie is when Song sings, I knew she could sing but it was awesome to see it in the movie.
