Synopsis
My Sassy Girl (엽기적인 그녀, 2001) is a Korean romantic comedy you can watch online on iFILM. A timid college guy spots a drunk woman swaying near the subway tracks, pulls her to safety, and accidentally signs up for the wildest relationship of his life.
Gyeon-woo, played by Cha Tae-hyun, is a pushover who can't say no. The Girl — Jun Ji-hyun, never given a name — bosses him around, makes him wear her heels, swing wooden swords and act out the violent screenplays she writes for fun. "Do you want to die?" is her favorite line. Under all the bullying sits a grief she keeps buried.
Adapted from a real string of blog posts by a Korean student, the film became a defining hit of the early Hallyu wave and got remade in Hollywood, Japan and India. It's the part that turned Jun Ji-hyun into a star. Funny for an hour, then it quietly knocks the wind out of you. Stream My Sassy Girl (2001) online on iFILM.
