Click here for official website

"The film "My Girl and I" starring Cha Tae-hyeon and Song Hye-kyo that was remade from a chaste love Japanese movie "Crying Out Love In The Center Of The World." The Japanese one was a sensation in the local in 2004. The Korean one was reexported to Japan and screened next autumn in Japan.
The movie's distributor Warner Brothers Japan announced that it attracted the Japanese media and Hallyu fans due to the hero and heroin. The actor Cha Tae-hyeon appeared in "My Sassy Girl" with actress Jeon Ji-hyeon, which was sensational in Japan while Hallyu star Song Hye-kyo featured with Lee Byeong-Heon in TV drama "All in". They are already well known in Japan.
When watching the Japanese hit movie, "Crying Out Love, in the Center of the World," it's hard not to cry - sophisticated acting, a refined screenplay and a resonant theme combine to create a lasting impression. By contrast, when watching the Korean remake "My Girl and I," it's hard to cry.
Well, if you really want to cry watching the Korean version of the melodrama, it's probably safe to cry over the lower-than-expected quality of the movie itself, not because of some moving scenes that tug at your heartstrings.
"My Girl and I" features the well-known plot of an ill-fated couple. Su-ho (Cha Tae-hyeon) is a plain high school boy, and Su-eun (Song Hye-kyo) is a bright and beautiful girl in the same school. For some unknown reason, Su-eun has a crush on the boy, and for equally mysterious reasons she rescues Su-ho in the sea (though he doesn't know who actually saved him). In the process, Su-eun loses her pager. When she discloses the relationship with Su-ho at school, despite envy and disbelief from other classmates, she asks Su-ho to buy her a pager so that they can communicate with each other through voice messages - a secret communication channel since So-eun's parents are quite strict. The way the couple develops affection is bearable, helped by images of a beautiful seaside village and equally enchanting coastlines. Supporting characters like Su-ho's grandfather (Lee Soon-jae) jazz up the otherwise too simplified storyline."
Have you wonder what the first love will happen like?
This boy unknowingly realise the first love.
Originally,he was not interesting to do anything but the girl who saved him from drowning wanted him to buy pager(lost during the rescue)
For once,he began to develop an interest in her.The jealous student from Judo club was the catalyst in their development of relationship.
Closer and closer, they began to know each other's interest and thoughts.
When the rain went heavy, his grandfather purposely sent fake sick note to school so that the school would release him fast. Without any thoughts, he rushed to his grandfather's workplace despite of heavy rain.
His grandfather said that he needed an accompany as he couldn't forget his first love.
She brought his bag to his grandfather's workplace and asked his grandfather to tell them the story of his first love.
His grandfather began to reminisce his first love.
Despite of his first love's family's objection,they loved each other.
The day his grandfather was drafted to army to fight in te war, he told her to wait for him and gave him the army tag necklane for mememory and remeberance.
After the war,he went back to his hometown. Nobody was waiting...
One day, a woman came to his grandfather's workplace and identified herself as a daughter of his first love. She wanted his grandfather to take care her funeral(grandfather build coffins)
His grandfather heart 'bled' as he arrange her body into yellow cloth nicely.
He still remembered and loved her for 50 years(till now).
Sad story is going to strike after happy relationship. This girl had a serious illness.No cure to save her and the clock was ticking away till her death.
She told him to not to love another woman, love her till his death and think of her.
Wanting to fulfil her last wish, he tried to bring her to that island but the heavy storm prevent them to cross to island by boat.
And there,she died. her sight faded..she closed her eyes and her head drop towards his stomach.
Few years later,he still could not forger his first love. Forever in pain without her in his whole life.
Rating:7/10
Alas, after watching it,i immediately went to sleep.
Pondering what i should have done in the past..at the moment,i have no interest to do anything like him other than spending time on hobbies and interest.
Last night,Irene suggested that the first impression where you make first sentence to female stranger is important.
I do think so but it do not carry infinite commitment and interset after that.
First impression may be important..HOWEVER! handling with women every day is the most important and it determine. The right combination of man's behaviour and woman's behaviour will result infinite love.
What is infinite love? True love, one mindset and power of feeling that overraw any other feelings.
Husband and wife will love each other's strengths and weaknesses and it define the real deal in love relationship.
Last two weeks ago,Eugene and i had a chat on how man and woman should co-operate.
He prefer that half of the work is to be done by him and the other half is to be done by his future wife.
He do not want to external problems(friends' problems) adding into his own problems.
I thought that it is good way to do.
However i want to have one standard level higher than what Eugene visualise.
One day, future wife do not want to do work due to fatigue. i will do the most of the work and leave some works because future wife gotta love to do this kind of work.
that is first prinicple.
Whatever problems future wife have, i will give her few options to choose.
I believe in equality in both gender.Freedom to choose(i know freedom can harm in many different factors but importantly is to apply it in the right situation at the right time).
Now,that is econd principle
Lastly, i want to indulge on what future wife love to enjoy(example..her hobby and etc). Every human need accompany and it is for sure.(don't try to deny it with your saying that u are fine by yourself.)
It is great to have my heart in pain as it weep for a woman i love.
Fate and Destiny are two items that we need to grasp in order to realise the real and true love.
Fate..God or not.just leave it as imaginary thing. God will arrange a meeting between a man and a woman. In my shoes,i need to recognise the opportunity to purse her. That is why many people don't recognise and hence there are too many broken families and growing rate of divorce cases.
Destiny..it largely depend on what type of method you apporach. Every method has two or three different results depending upon on the situation, human thoughts and timing.
Irene gave me a lot of ideas and i thought she was quite special type for a girl.
Analysing..I never seen any girl i have met who bother to analyse such stuffs.
Oh well,i love to do some detective work. Interesting insight from her.
Know or don't know?it doesn't really matter. I am still interested on how you perceive it.
I still want to listen and learn from you whether i either know or don't know.
As promised i made yesterday, i am going to write this piece of thing i long time analysed and researched.
What brought to my attenion is when i watched Major animation show.
I never knew it until i watched the happening.
I think it is good to learn many things from various sources.
Goro was denied to play as pitcher as the baseball school manager who was in the charge of the training in an isolated island purposely made Goro's wonderful skills useless by grading him badly.
WHY!WHAT WRONG!
The truth was known when baseball variety team manager (at school)told why Goro shouldn't stay in this school.
The bitter experience...
The team variety manager recalled that her elder brother was like Goro in term of talent and character. Arrogant and full of feeling pitcher.
Her elder brother worked too hard for 2 years dragging his school to highest stage as possible.
On his 2nd year,he brought his team to semi-final. Concidentally,his coach was that geezer who purposely graded him badly.
After winning the match in quarter-final, he died straight away as he fell onto pitcher platter.
They were shocked....After that her father couldn't forger her elder brother and hence he joined his school as head manager in baseball team.
He started to create a manuel to prevent similiar tragedy.
Goro disliked the manuel because it really limited his fun playing as pitcher.
He intend to 'trash' manuel and rewrite it with his style.
All-in-one vision..it mean he will excell very well as pitcher,batter and catcher.
Goro was given time to think.
Goro decided not to give up and wanted to continue his desire to rewrite the manuel.
He needed to go to main school to let the head manager to see his skill before the variety team manager told her father to remove him out of the team.
I am waiting for the next few episodes...As far as i know, Goro met assistant head manager and he was deeply shocked after his third throw was completed hit by first-team batter.(batter has 3 tries to hit before pitcher can strike the batter out)
I predict that he will keep on improving his throw until it will be powerful that no batter can hit it.
This bitter experience greatly hinder people's judgement and views.
Indeed..that is why a lot of talented people were denied the chance to unleash their potential in today world.
All you need is luck and destiny to get your path right.
There are many talented people who went astray after big-time wealth earning.
Again,anther factor kick in..determination to improve oneself,self-discpline and commitment are the key to it.
It goes on as problems come out and then solved by another factors/solutions.
Endless and boundless limitations.
I love to judge people based on few attributes.
In my head,i know what you are capable of.
I really pity them and i have my own experience where my potential was limited to numerous situations.
I can never realise and know how far i can do in soccer.
In the end,i ended my potential and reduced myself into simple soccer player today.
With this experience, i want to be soccer manager collecting talented players but it is hard to get by. Let see how my life go on like.
The joy when i saw talented people(can be different sports or working environment) displayed unbelieveable skills in front of me. I have seen few and i will not forget on how they do.
In business arena, a real talent can 'shake' the world like earthquake as if he can manuplate the world economy.Fake talent can't 'shake' and spend their time forever on talking wasteful things into wrong channel.
I hope to see 'Zhuge Liang' in economy.Me or somebody? Who know..
I have not realise my potential yet.
I am looking forward to it and i can never forget many scenes happened in San Guo Yan Yi and Warring States.
I don't mind being single if i can't even recognise the fate and do not have a chance for this destiny.
