My Sassy Girl (엽기적인 그녀; literally, That Bizarre Girl) is a 2001 South Korean romantic comedy film in which the lead protagonist's chance meeting with a drunk girl on the train changes his life. It is based on the true story told in a series of love letters written by Kim Ho-sik, a man who initially posted them on the Internet and later adapted them into a novel. The film was directed by Kwak Jae-yong.
The film was extremely successful in South Korea.[1] When My Sassy Girl was released throughout East Asia, it was well received in the entire region. An American remake, starring Jesse Bradford and Elisha Cuthbert, and directed by Yann Samuell was released in 2008.[2] A Japanese drama adaptation with Tsuyoshi Kusanagi and actress Rena Tanaka as the leads started broadcasting in April 2008.[3]
Part one
The film tells the story of a male college student, Gyeon-woo (Cha Tae-Hyun), and the Girl (Jun Ji-hyun) who is never named in the movie. Gyeon-woo just cannot seem to catch a romantic break. His prospects are so pathetic that even his mother tries to help, telling him to visit his aunt for two reasons. Firstly, because Gyeon-woo reminds his aunt of her son who drowned recently; secondly, because there is a girl his aunt wants to introduce to him. Gyeon-woo repeatedly puts off going to see his aunt.
The movie begins with Gyeon-woo on top of a mountain, speaking wistfully about a girl he knew two years ago that had buried a time capsule with him on that mountain. She had never returned like she'd promised. Next, one sees Gyeon-woo at a photo studio, having his passport photo taken. He is called by his aunt so that she can finally introduce him to the girl she's been trying to set him up with. The movie then flashes back to the past.
While Gyeon-woo is at a restaurant with some of his friends, he is interrupted by a call from his mother telling him to go meet the girl that his aunt wants to set him up with. He refuses and continues to eat with his friends. At the train station on his way to his aunt's, he observes a girl, drunk, standing precariously close to the edge of the train platform as the train approaches; he pulls her to safety just in time. Inside the train, Gyeon-woo cannot help but stare at the girl wavering back and forth. He is slightly attracted to her but repulsed by her drunkenness. Finally, she throws up on a passenger and faints but not before she calls Gyeon-woo "honey". The passenger aggressively chides Gyeon-woo and tells him to take care of his girlfriend. Gyeon-woo, completely flustered, carries her all the way to the nearest motel. While he is showering, her cell phone rings. Stark naked, he runs out to answer it and informs the caller of their location. Just as Gyeon-woo realizes there are no towels in the shower, a pair of women police officers burst into the room and arrest him.
After getting out of jail—where he was bullied by gangsters—he goes home. His mother beats him with a vacuum cleaner for not turning up at his aunt's and there is a brief flashback of his lifetime failings as a student. He receives a call from the Girl demanding he meet her and explain why he was naked in bed with her. The Girl's dominating and demanding tone during the telephone call establishes her typical posture as a xanthippe, an attitude she maintains throughout the film. Both at the takeaway joint and at the bar to which she drags him she tells him to order, criticises his choices and then tells him what to order. Over soju she cries, admits to breaking up with her boyfriend the day before and gets thoroughly drunk, resulting in another trip to the previous motel.
After this second overnight stay at the motel, she begins to become a more active part of his life. She visits Gyeon-woo in school and manages to get him to hang out with her. In one situation she obtains permission from a teacher by claiming she needs him to accompany her on the way to an abortion, with Gyeoon-woo being the father. Her mood swings wildly from joyful to downright violent but Gyeon-woo puts up with it and lets her abuse him for her amusement.
She is an aspiring scriptwriter and throughout the movie gives Gyeon-woo three different screenplays from different genres. The first is an action movie—The Demolition Terminator—which switches gender roles, symbolically having the Girl save her helpless lover (Gyeon-woo). The second is a wild perversion of a Korean short story—Sonagi—in which the Girl, having died, asks that her lover be buried along with her—even though he's still alive. The resulting situation is quite humorous. The last is a wuxia/samurai movie spoof full of genre clichés and anachronisms. All three feature the same common thread: the Girl is from the future.
Despite all the horrible things Gyeon-woo endures, he is determined to help cure the girl's pain. In one scene, he decides to surprise her for her birthday and takes her on a nighttime trip to an amusement park which ends up quite differently than how he planned: The pair encounter an AWOL soldier who holds them hostage and rants about his misery. Gyeon-woo convinces him to release her, and she in turn convinces the soldier to free Gyeon-woo and go on with his life. Throughout the first half of the movie she is resolute in her pain, dishing it out in plenty. As the second half comes around, however, she begins to change: she shows vulnerability.
[edit] Part two
The second - more dramatic - half of the movie begins with the Girl waiting for Gyeon-woo after class. They are walking through the university campus when she suddenly complains about the pain caused by her high-heels and convinces Gyeon-woo to switch shoes with her. Overjoyed, she tells him to chase her, which he does wearing her high heels. It starts raining and they return to her home. At her house Gyeon-woo overhears an impassioned argument between the girl and her mother over her relationship with him. He does not hear from her for quite some time and his life without her begins.
However, one day she calls him and tells him to bring her a rose during class to commemorate their 100th-day anniversary. He does this, leading to a touching and romantic scene where he arrives in disguise and is about to leave the packed auditorium but is led to the front by the beautiful melody of George Winston's variations on Pachelbel's Canon in D. The Girl is onstage playing a piano in front of an audience of her all-female classmates who applaud in approval at his romantic gesture - a similar gesture, the viewer is later informed, was performed by her previous boyfriend. As the night further unfolds he is confronted at her house by her parents. Her father is naturally infuriated that she is drunk again and demands a break-up.
Time passes and one day the Girl calls Gyeon-woo to meet her for dinner. When he arrives he is surprised to see her with a date. The Girl introduces Gyeon-woo to him as "her friend." During dinner, the Girl leaves the table briefly, leaving Gyeon-woo and her date by themselves. Gyeon-woo candidly offers advice on how to ensure her happiness by following ten rules. He devised his rules from considerable pain, dedication and devotion to the Girl. When she returns her date begins to explain the rules. It is at this point that she realizes just how well Gyeon-woo understands and cares for her. She abruptly leaves her date and searches for Gyeon-woo. Once reunited the two realise they are at a turning point in their relationship.
They travel to a mountain in the countryside where she unveils a time capsule. During the previous night the couple wrote their true feelings in letters which the Girl says will be buried next to a particular tree on the mountain. They agree to meet again at the tree after two years to read the letters together. After burying the time capsule they go their separate ways.
[edit] Overtime
During the two year span, Gyeon-woo works hard to improve himself in many ways, even writing My Sassy Girl which someone has bought the movie rights to, an event he eagerly anticipates telling the Girl about. When the agreed upon date arrives, he travels to the mountain but the Girl does not show up. Eventually, he opens the time capsule and reads her letter and learns the root of her angst and behavior: Gyeon-woo reminds her of her previous boyfriend who, rather than breaking up with her, actually died before she met Gyeon-woo. All through the time the Girl and Gyeon-woo were seeing each other she had been seeing her dead boyfriend's mother, who wants to introduce her to a nice young man.
A year after Gyeon-woo visits the tree, the Girl finally arrives. Sitting under the tree is an old man. During their conversation the old man reveals the secret of the tree, that it is not the same tree; the original tree had been struck and killed by lightning a year before and a similar tree had been planted by a young man so that someone special wasn't sad, and that he has read the letters. The Girl says she had hoped that destiny would bring the couple together during the two years. As the girl begin to read the letter, she sees a UFO (time machine) flying away. This lead her to believe that the old man was Gyeon-woo from the future.
The film then cuts to Gyeon-woo entering a subway station, wearing the same suit he was wearing at the beginning of the movie. The flashback has ended and continuity is resumed from right after Gyeon-woo leaves the photo-studio. Gyeon-woo is caught outside the shutting doors of a train, presumably ignorant at first of the Girl's presence on the train but after a few seconds of staring he seems to realise whom it is he sees from behind. As the train pulls out he runs along but has to give up.
At lunch with her deceased boyfriend's mother after a year-and-a-half, the Girl is surprised to hear a familiar voice apologise for his lateness. The mother introduces her nephew Gyeon-woo whom she has been trying to introduce to the Girl for years. The mother, who is Gyeon-woo's aunt, tells the Girl to go out with him, he'll make things easier for her and then tells Gyeon-woo that the Girl can give advice to him about his impending trip to England but Gyeon-woo replies, "I don't have to go now." The pair hold hands under the table and the Girl says she thinks she met a man from the future (Gyeon-woo's future self). The final shot shows the pair in their activity from earlier in the film, dressed in school uniforms going into a dance club.

Soundtrack
The Korean song entitled "I Believe" by Shin Seung Hun (신승훈) is the theme song of this film. The song has been translated to different Asian languages such as Japanese, Chinese and Filipino.
Also, there are two scenes within the movie that have different soundtracks from each varying version, notably the EDKO and Starmax distributions
During the scene where Gyeon-Woo, in the Girl's second movie script, is the villain fighting the heroine, the EDKO release has a Korean track while the Starmax distribution is replaced by a different track.
During the scene where Gyeon-Woo exchanges shoes with the Girl, the EDKO release again has a Korean track while the Starmax distribution has replaced it with the song "My Girl" by The Temptations.
In 2007 the song, "I Believe," featured a change in lyrics in relation to the short story "Fish Cheeks" from the novel, Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan. The lyrics reflected a portion of the story concerning the humiliation which the young Chinese girl felt after her heritage was set at the table of a Christmas Eve dinner. The song was simply retitled "Sassy" and received a favorably positive reception.
[edit] Reception
In 2001 'My Sassy Girl' was the second highest selling film with 4,852,845 tickets sold nationwide and 1,765,100 in Seoul over its 10 weeks in the cinemas.[1]

JabbaWockeeZ is a diverse male dance crew, established in 2003, created by Joe Larot, Kevin Brewer, and Phil Tayag.
The group gained fame by appearing on America's Got Talent before winning the MTV hip hop dance reality series America's Best Dance Crew on March 27, 2008. The crew has won $100,000 and a touring contract after being crowned as America's Best Dance Crew in season one. The crew is known for wearing plain white masks and gloves and performing synchronized dance moves. Their name is derived from the Lewis Carroll poem Jabberwocky (featured in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland).
The 7th Member, Gary "Gee One" Kendell
Originally the group that was going to compete on America's Best Dance Crew had seven members, including the late Gary Kendell. Unfortunately, Kendell passed away shortly before the group's start on the show America's Best Dance Crew due to pneumonia. The six JabbaWockeeZ members on the show told the judges during the Live Auditions Special that Gary was the "Yoda" of their crew and that they were doing the show for him. They have stated, "As a tribute to him we point our fingers in the air after each performance." They say that that helps them remember Kendall and they feel he is watching them.
[edit] Week 1
Aired on February 7, 2008.
Each crew danced to a song of their choosing. The crews were broken up in groups of three, and the best crew of each group (chosen by the judges) would be safe from this week's elimination and move on to the next week. The bolded crews were saved by the judges.
The JabbaWockeez chose to dance to the song, "Apologize", by "OneRepublic" Ft. "Timbaland" The judges all gave the JabbaWockeeZ excellent remarks to the dance. Despite the high praise, they were not one of the crews that the judges chose to be safe from eliminations.
[edit] Week 2
Aired on February 14, 2008.
Each crew was given a music video with a different dance component to emulate while keeping their own style as a crew.
The JabbaWockeeZ were given the music video for "Ice Box" by Omarion-The judges gave the group high marks. JC Chasez stated the JabbaWockeeZ choreography was better than the choreography from the music video, with the crew adding a few of their own elements into the music video's original dances.
[edit] Week 3
Aired on February 21, 2008.
Each crew performed to a popular dance, also known as a "dance craze," and were required to add their own style to it as a crew. Since the dances were very simple, there were certain challenges each team had to meet while performing.
The JabbaWockeeZ were assigned to Dance to "Lean Wit it, Rock Wit it" by Dem Franchise Boyz. The challenge was to create the illusion that they could defy gravity.
To meet the challenge, two of the members lifted themselves behind the other members in a way that created the illusion of one man floating. They also did a knee float near the end of the routine. Rynan Paguio also caught a bandana while doing a flare which received praise from JC Chasez. However, JC did warn the crew not to get lazy due to a "walking transition." Lil' Mama directed the audience's attention to the beginnings and endings of the JabbaWockeez performances, as each dance began the same way that it ended the week before. The best compliments came from Shane Sparks, who exclaimed they were the sickest crew he's ever seen in his life. This became a very memorable performance by them.
[edit] Week 4
Aired on February 28, 2008.
Each crew had to create a story through dance in the movie challenge. Every crew had to dance on the same set, which was set up as a street in an urban neighborhood. They were assigned characters and asked to create a story for those characters.
The JabbaWockeeZ were assigned to be thieves in what they called "The Heist." They chose to dance to "Ayo Technology"* by 50 Cent feat. Timbaland and Justin Timberlake.
The lyrics "She wants it" tied into the storyline, in which the crew were thieves passing around a red bag which contained a pink mask that was presented to Lil' Mama at the end of the dance.
[edit] Week 5
Aired on March 6, 2008.
In honor of the 25th Anniversary of Michael Jackson's "Thriller" album, each crew was assigned a Michael Jackson song from the album "Thriller" and were given a DVD compilation of some of the Michael Jackson's dancing. They then had to perform to the song and demonstrate how much they knew about Michael Jackson's moves in their performance.
The JabbaWockeeZ were given the song "P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)".
They chose to wear formal jackets, bowties and hats to represent Michael Jackson's wardrobe and Kevin Brewer exaggerated the classic "crotch-grab" which Shane Sparks highlighted during the judging. JC Chasez said he had "nothing to pick on." Lil' Mama said she felt like she was watching Michael Jackson, but she never forgot that she was watching the JabbaWockeeZ.
[edit] Week 7
Aired on March 20, 2008.
The last challenge was for the crews to illustrate the evolution of hip-hop using the same music. The final three crews had to perform to these songs using some classic hip-hop styles, such as breaking, popping, and locking.
Song
Funkytown by Lipps Inc
It's Like That (Jason Nevins Remix) by Run DMC
It's Just Begun by Jimmy Castor
Push It by Salt-n-Pepa
Bye Bye Bye by 'N Sync
Get Buck in Here by DJ Felli Fel
The saved crew was Status Quo. Both the JabbaWockeeZ and Kaba Modern performances garnered praise from the judges, with the crowd cheering to keep both crews. JC Chasez said that seeing those two crews go against each other was the biggest competition yet. However, Kaba Modern was sent home, and JabbaWockeeZ moved onto the "Do or Die" encore battle with Status Quo. The music for each encore was mixed at the direction of the crews.
Their encore performance was entitled "The Red Pill." The music is sampled from Moloko's "The Time Is Now (Bambino Casino Mix)" and Swollen Member's "Red Dragon".
Dance Crew Encore Performance Title
JabbaWockeeZ The Red Pill
[edit] Week 8
Aired on March 27, 2008
The JabbaWockeeZ, Fysh N Chicks and Kaba Modern performed a reunion dance together as part of the west coast crews. The three west coast crews danced to a mix of "Tell Me When To Go" by E-40 featuring Keak Da Sneak.
The JabbaWockeeZ also performed with fellow top 2 finalists, Status Quo, in a stepping routine, with the help of Stomp the Yard choreographer, Chuck Maldanaldo.
JabbaWockeeZ won the competition on March 27, 2008, being the first dance crew to win America's Best Dance Crew. They performed a final time on the show to Kanye West's "Stronger". This dance was significant because it was the JabbaWockeeZ' first synchronized dance without full-face masks on America's Best Dance Crew.
[edit] After America's Best Dance Crew
After the show's first season ended, the JabbaWockeeZ have been touring the world, including places like Guam, Puerto Rico, Malaysia, and Canada. Their shirts have been selling very well with Armory Survival Gear, along with their very own clothing brand, JBWKZ, coming to Macy's and other retail stores this October.[1] They also performed live at the 2008 MuchMusic Video Music Awards.
For the Season 3 premiere of America's Best Dance Crew, Rynan Paguio temporarily replaced JC Chasez as a judge.

Cinderella is the only daughter of a fairly wealthy family. When her mother dies, his father marries a widow with 2 daughters then goes travelling for business.
Cinderella eventually becomes the slave of her stepmother and stepsisters. The Prince on the other hand, lives a boring life in the castle and one day escapes and pretends to be a commoner.
Cinderella meets him through an accidental bump and becomes his bestfriend not knowing that he really is the prince. There are other twists to this tale including another villain in the person of the king's right hand who is plotting to take over the throne once he eliminates the prince. After a series of events and stories told, the castle holds a Royal ball for the prince to be able to choose a wife/queen. Every maiden in the kingdom receives an invitation. When Cinderella's cruel stepmother prevents her from attending the Royal Ball, she gets some unexpected help from her pets dog, mice, cat and birds, and from her Fairy Godmother (who was constantly watching over her in the duration of the show).
**Note that the translation of the titles is not direct because I just copied it from the videos' title.
