Hi, I saw the trailer of this film on the net and was wondering if seeing it all or not. Is there someone who has already seen it and could suggest me to watch it or not?

Thanks!

:popcorn:

Which version are you talking about ? The original korean version of the remade american version.
If you are talking about the american version, forget about it, its a waste of time, the story is so diluted, its not worth watching.
The original korean version on the other hand is great, good story, its a romantic comedy with sill parts to it, but the core story is actually pretty good.

Ah, I forgot there are 2 versions. Well, I'm interested in watching the best one. So far it seems I should watch the original (korean) version. Thanks!

A good way to know if a film is worth watching is checking the rating on www.imdb.com

Films which score 8.0 or higher usually are good to excellent films, 7.5 to 8.0 pretty good to good, 7.0 to 7.5 pretty good and anything below 7.0 is usually not worth an hour and a half of your life. There are exceptions, especially if you like weird independent films you might find some low ratings on movies you like, but for most mainstream films, this is what the ratings usually mean.

+ 1 for the original Korean version. The American remake was really poorly done. As much as I like Elisha Cuthbert (main female character in the remake), watching the remake was difficult after having seen and enjoyed the original.

First of all, the two main characters and their interaction/chemistry from the original pretty much made the movie shine. Conversely, the two main characters from the remake did not seem to have any real chemistry.

Second, some of the scenes from the original did not seem to translate properly during the remake.

Please do not ask me for more specifics, as I do not have any desire to see the remake again. :)

Another vote for the korean verison.

It's the first movie I refer to friends when they want an introduction to their first korean film. It has never let me down yet. The director's cut verison actually explains a few sequences a bit better in detail.

In particular, I like to see the top 250 rated list here.
