In ten years, I can forget a lot of things, I can't remember where I've been, I can't remember the tears I once shed, and I have no memory of the excuses for opening and closing. Not to mention a movie. So, rewatching "My Sassy Girl" ten years later, it's just as fresh and entertaining.

In a country that is said to maintain the tradition of male superiority over women, let a woman be strong, then the man must be "poor". The ingeniousness of the movie, first of all, is to let Jun Zhixian have a point to take on his attack: Xiaoshou Cha Taixian. At the beginning, the male protagonist's sad childhood is explained with a voice-over and flashbacks. He was raised as a girl since he was a child, and when he grows up, it is inevitable that he will be a sissy, and he has no relationship with the masculine. Even if he finished his military service, he came home late, and his mother would beat him with a clothes stick. Such a man, who can't fight back, can't fight back when he's scolded, is kind-hearted, considerate and gentle, and it's reasonable to be bullied by a beautiful girl.

Cha Tae Hyun's admirable comedy performance holds up the laughs of the whole film. But there is no reason to ignore Jun Ji-hyun's "attack". If Cha Tae-hyun is the dazzling fireworks, then she is the one who lit the fireworks... the match. The first time I was electrocuted, I played a role that seemed a little out of tune with traditional Korean women. The first half was not very difficult, and Jun Jixian could show the character of a young girl playing a petty temperament.

As the film draws to a close, the heroine's inner secret is revealed. Her arrogance, world-weariness, and all kinds of unreasonableness are all due to the death of her lover three years ago. Because it is too difficult to let go, the female protagonist cannot accept the world and the male protagonist, so she has a sense of insecurity. The transformation before and after the role, from the outside to the inside, from madness to sadness, Jun Ji-hyun's acting is too natural, and there is no problem with the new actor's excessive force, which is probably the reason why she won the Korean Grand Bell Award for Best Actress for her debut.

After hilarious, nostalgia became the theme. The heroine can't forget her deceased lover. It was implemented to the end of the movie, and Cha Taixian still took over the transmission of this emotion. As a comedy, it is destined to end with a full moon. Nostalgia only makes it arouse a vague melancholy in the viewer's heart, and avoids smiling too superficially.

Ten years later, the film is still endearing, with the passage of time becoming unsophisticated and lacking in glossy fashion, but it has also added a moving force to it, and there is probably no objection that it has become a comedy classic. You can laugh at the naivety of Korean TV, but Korean movies are definitely worthy of the respect of fans and the fear of opponents.

After I finished typing, I wanted to use the topic to play, but I have forgotten too much in the past ten years. I am afraid that what I can remember is suitable for keeping in the bottom of my heart, hiding in a tree hole, or roaring loudly in the wind, but it is not suitable to squat on the Internet. So sad and ridiculous. Besides, there are too many movies to watch, too many people to meet, and there are too fast roads to rush. What do we need to miss?
