My Girl and I

I spent a lazy afternoon watching a 2005 Korean movie, My Girl and I. This is the second time I watched the move, once on the local art channel and this time on my collection of VCD.

The story tells of a puppy love between a young girl Su-eun and a young boy Su Ho. He is an ordinary, simple and straightforward boy while she is the dream girl of all the boys in school. Their love blossoms when Su-eun asked Su Ho to buy her a croquette. Though he couldn't understand why, he complied with her request knowing the consequence of this action.

Words spread fast and the whole school starts to see them as a couple. The sweet puppy love develops into the most beautiful loves of their lives. For many years after Su Ho never forgets Su-eun even though death has separated them. There isn't a single day which he doesn't think about her.

Rating: 4 out of 5 fairy clouds. It is a very sweet movie but I wasn't in the mood for the lovey-dovey theme or crying my heart out to such love tragedy. Despite of that, it is rather aspiring to see love withstanding against time and death while in reality, I would say it suck big time to have to go through such challenge in order to see the beauty of it.
