[edit]Synopsis

Unemployed Ji Woong (Song Joong Ki) meets Hong Sil (Han Ye Seul), who lives enthusiastically for her dream ,and begins to grow up... Hong Sil's purpose in life is to collect money. She doesn't go to church to avoid making donations, when she's sick she won't go to the hospital, and doesn't go on dates to save money. She'll even try to recycle one bottle or a sheet of paper for profit. She'll often think of various part-time jobs to make money and she is also in strong physical condition. Even though Ji Woong graduated from college, he still asks his mother (who runs a restaurant) for money. He joins a scooter to meet girls, but when he has the chance to spend a night with a woman he can't because he is short by W50,000 (USD $50).

    First of all, I like this movie a lot but if you want to see a story full of romance and passion, this is not your best choice. It's a cute story with a lot of funny moments but in a slow and smooth way,I find that fresh but for most of people can be boring .

    The cast is excellent, in special Song Joong Ki. i like the music too and I think that this movie gain when you rewatch it.

    Okay, so I finally finished watching this movie and honestly I don't know if I like it or not. I was really looking forward to watching this movie because I really like the main actor and actress but this movie was disappointing. For me it wasn't as romantic as they said it would be. It was sometimes funny though. Joong Ki is really adorable and he had really cute and funny moments in the movie and I think that was the only things I enjoyed while watching the movie. It wasn't as funny as what they described it to be. I don't even remember a lot of things that was going on in the movie because I was busy looking forward to the romance, but there read more
