My Sassy Girl & Windstruck : Creativity that never ends...

I would love to pay tribute to the writer of these two movies. I have never seen any movies of the same class. The sequel which was released late last year was actually the beginning part of the earlier movie released few years back. It was a bit of a test on the memory lane while watching the second one though.

These two movies, highlighted a story that centered on Kyungjin (Ji Hyun Jun), an ‘attractive’ lady who has a really ‘weird’ character. The first movie, My Sassy Girl, talked about her coincidental meet with the lead actor CTY which again blossomed into a love story. She was portrayed as a very sad soul and good natured Cha Tae Hyun has stepped into her way to free her out of the unknown depression. Then, somewhere in the end.., the reason behind her sadness was revealed. The man in her life has died in a tragic accident. It took her time, to get over the pain.. and to love again. In Windstruck, we were then told of the love she shared with the man in her life (the charming Jang Hyuk), how they fell in love.. and later how he died. The clever part of this movie was somewhere in the end when there was a final scene that actually tied this two movie together.

Acting and casting in these two movies were good. I have no complaints for that at all. Somehow, even with a tragic end in Windstruck, I didn’t feel that bad cause I knew there would be a happy ending later for the leading lady.

These two movies also captured beautiful sceneries apart from some soothing OST. I personally find that to really feel the magic of these two movies, one has to watch both. Otherwise, I don’t find each good enough to stand on its own. Recommended only as a twin pack !
