Would not have watched if I'd known the ending

Great visuals
Great cinematography
Wonderful revision of the musical - Sound of Music. Very creative and artistically done.
The practice scene with ML playing the maid was darn cute and hilarious.

The villagers were all true to nature and underplayed.
The high schoolers could have gone overboard but they were very well contained.
The Seoul high schoolers were clichéd but you have to forgive them for their short appearance.

The FL was sweet, and did a nice job.
But obviously, Hyun Bin walks away with your heart.

I found this movie on some list which claimed to be Top 100 korean movies of all time.
Didn't want to watch a 17 year old movie, but whatever, I said I would turn it off in 10 mins.
That must have been the era when it was trendy to have these heart wrenching, sad romances.
It's too clichéd now - maybe they could remake it with a happier ending.
So thats why I rated it low.

However - I can't stop thinking of Hyun Bin.
My first drama with him was in his forties, and found him not -bad.
Then I watched Secret Garden and adored him for his c omic timing.
Now this - in his early twenties- I've fallen in love with this actor!!

Wow.........what acting chops, what talent. His eyes do all the speaking - and the dimples don't hurt@

Congratulations Sir for excelling in your art!
