Baekmanjangja-ui cheot-sarang (2006)
Loved this more than I expected
"A Millionaire's First Love". Sounds sort of cheesy, right? That's what I was thinking when I friend recommend that I watch this movie. I've never really been into that whole "forgein" movie cliché, even though most of my friends are die-hard "My Sassy Girl" fans and can't go a day without watching at least 5 episodes of Fruits Basket. When I sat down to watch the DVD, it was 11:00 PM, and I'll admit, I was sort of putting off watching the movie- I just didn't feel like going through the headache of watching the film and reading the subs at the same time. The first 30 minutes into the film, I became engrossed- the arrogant- yet hot- rich boy made me want to slap some sense into him and kiss his cheek at the same time. When Eue was introduced, I immediately fell in love with how cute and sweet she was. The acting was believable, and the process of Jae and Eue falling in love left me feeling melt-y and gooey inside. In my head, I pictured a happy ending, with a wedding and flowers and happy little animals everywhere, like something out of a Disney movie. So when the course of the movie was altered when Eue admitted that being with Jae made her heart condition worse, the tears started flowing. It was so sudden- one minute, I'm just watching a sweet movie about love, and the next moment, I'm crying so hard I'm starting to heave. I didn't notice I was crying until the very end, when Jae is at the graduation ceremony, and in Eue's chair, lays a bunch of flowers. I've never cried so hard during a movie, except during the Titanic, and sometimes even then do I finish the movie dried-eyed. This movie is defiantly for the romantic-at-heart. Since watching this movie, I've gone on seeing such movies as "My Sassy Girl" and "200 Pounds Beauty". I will always love this movie, and recommend to everyone. I must admit, that sometimes, when I'm alone in my apartment, I'll pop in Millionaire's First Love, and cry and laugh and stare-longly-at-Jae to my heart's content, but the first experience of watching this movie will always be the best and most unique.
