My Sassy Girl

One of my most fave movies of all-time is My Sassy Girl, the original Korean version. For those of you who love the movie and has seen it a lot of times (like me), have you noticed the hidden details in the movie? If not, then read on, and then watch the movie again. ;)

1. The runaway soldier at the Girl's birthday was mentioned earlier in the film. When Gyeon-woo chased the Girl and called her baby, he ran back to the restaurant, right before he said "You called a wrong number or the number you dialed is not in service, please call again", the TV announced a news about the runaway soldier.

2. The Girl's ex-boyfriend drowned. Why? Because the Girl and Gyeon-woo's aunt (who is also the ex-bf's mother) always cry near the lake. And the Girl asked Gyeon-woo to jump into the water to show how deep it is. When she pushed Gyeon-woo into the water and saved him, she was pretending to save her ex-bf. The Girl also threw her necklace into the lake.

3. The 2 men at the bar (where Gyeon-woo and the Girl ordered Golbangee and soju) who were picked on by the Girl, are the deputy director of the movie and movie reporter.

4. Gyeon-woo's handkerchief is the same as the Girl's ex-bf's, the only difference is Gyeon-woo's has a circular pattern and ex-bf's has a square pattern.

5. After Gyeon-woo said his "10 rules to follow", the Girl chased him and passed him at a food stand. The man at the left of Gyeon-woo, who was drinking, is the director of the movie.

6. When Gyeon-woo was hit by the tennis ball on the face several times, he fell, saw the Girl's panties and smiled.

7. The runaway soldier first used K1A1(Korea manufactured). But in front of the merrygoround the gun changed to M4A1 (USA manufactured)

8. When Gyeon-woo first carried the Girl to the hotel, there was a piece of newspaper of the 5 quins. The 4 of the 5 brothers showed up in the movie. 1st one is the Hotel owner. 2nd one is the Hotel check-in guy. 3rd one is the gangster in Jail. 4th one is the guy next to the subway announcer. The 4 people are all played by one actor.

9. The birthday Email that Gyeon-woo got from the Girl was a flash animation not lycos Email,the address is "Disk C/ My Documents". (you can see this on DVD).

10. On the Girl's second synopsis (the martial art one), the line after the Title says: "whoever dislike this story will get bothered by a ghost" (in Korean)

11. The girl's ex-boyfriend also liked to drink coke. Watch carefully when they showed the photo in the restaurant - she was touching his hand, next to him there's a glass of coke.

Finally!
At the end, the Girl said: "I think I met a man from the future, from your future." That man from the future is the old guy under the tree. He is also the old Gyeon-woo from the future. Why? Remember the Girl said: "I think UFOs as time machines." at the cafe? Watch carefully when the Girl reads Gyeon-woo's letter under the tree, a thing flew from right to left and disappeared in the sky. It was not just a bird, it was a UFO. The old Gyeon-woo traveled back to the past. The old man said "fate is building a bridge of chance for someone you love". Gyeon-woo also said that line at the end of the movie.
