My Little Bride : A Cute One !

Both Kim Rae Won & Moon Geun Young have a great chemistry in this movie. Even though the story is a bit too similar to one Hong Kong movie that I have seen not too long ago (can’t really remember the title but starred Ekin Cheng and one of the Twin girls), I must say, I wasn’t disappointed at all watching the Korean version. The first time I watched it, I fell in love with it.. and after a year.. I still feel the same way.

The story is about Sang-Min (Kim Rae Won) who was an attractive young man and had things going on for him, of course being in the “golden year” of adulthood. Then, he was summoned home by his family only to learn that they had initiated a plot to marry him to none other than sweet Bo-Eun (Moon Geun Young). Of course being only 16, it was not easy for Bo-Eun to accept the idea of marrying someone she has known since she was little perhaps as her elder brother. Both came from two families who were really close and Sang-Min’s grandfather really wanted to see them together so badly that he tricked them into agreeing on getting married by pretending to be ill. Succeeding the plot, both Sang-Min & Bo-Eun got married, only to discover in the end that this may not be a bad idea for both of them after all as love started to blossom through. Having said that, there were of course many other incidents that took place between these two young couple which made them realized what they meant to one another especially Bo-Eun.

I must say that this is indeed a “cute”, relaxing and “worth to watch” movie. I loved the leading lady so much and I find her really cute and talented. The first time, I get to see MGY was when she starred in Autumn Story as the young and convincing role of Eun Suh. She has grown so much ever since and her talent seemed to shine even better now. As about KRW, have seen his performances in Red Bean Girl alongside Jang Na Ra & Kim Jae Won. Then, there were many others like “Snow Man”, but the most popular drama of his was Attic Cat against Jung Da Bin. He may not be that good looking but I look forward to his dramas & movies all the time. There’s this charm about him, of course the acting was good too.

Just having KRW & MGY in this movie is a good enough reason to watch this. Apart from that, it is one of those movies that would leave you smiling in the end. Who wouldn’t like that ?.. I know I certainly would! Let’s face it, after a long day at work.. and things are probably starting to suck around you.. there’s certainly nothing better than to cool off with a good happy ending movie !
