Plot
Gyun-woo (Cha Tae-Hyun), a hopeless college student, enjoys picking up girls, drinking with friends and avoiding his mother as much as possible. Then, he meets ‘her’ - a drunken girl on the subway who calls him ‘honey’, pukes on a passenger, and passes out. Gyun-woo finds himself forced into a relationship he never wanted to be in. Beaten with vacuum cleaner, pepper-sprayed, held hostage at gun point, and chased by the Koren army, Gyun-woo is in the weirdest relationship of his life. Yet he finds himself falling in love with this mysterious yet intriguing girl.
Notes
- One of the scenes shown during the sequence when Gyeon-Woo is reading The Girl's letter shows The Girl in the coffee shop touching her ex-boyfriend's hand and is shown ordering a soda. (Throughout the film, whenever Gyeon-Woo tries to order soda, the Girl changes it to coffee.)
- The owner of the motel, where Gyeon-Woo and the Girl stay at twice, also is a subway operator and the gang leader that Gyeon-Woo encounters in prison. They are actually quintuplets (played by Kim Il-Woo). News of their birth is shown in a news article hanging at the door of the motel. Throughout the film you see all five of them.
- The transvestite girl Gyeon-Woo meets when he and The Girl are broken up appears earlier in the film, sitting next to The Girl on the subway scene where The Girl brings the forgotten package to the grandmother.
- The soundtrack used at the wuxia/samurai spoof scene was derived from Ashes of Time.
- In the scene where the Girl meets the old man at the tree-top time-capsule, viewers can see a small UFO fly away as the scene ends.
- The scene in which Gyeon-Woo and the Girl attend a night-club in their old high-school uniforms sparked a trend in Korea and many nightclubs began having "Memories of High-School" themed nights where patrons would show up in old school-uniforms and DJs would play older pop-songs.

This is movie is a classic romantic comedy.I will always love it and it was my first korean movie i saw which made me become a fan of Korean rom coms.I don't have to recommend it.This movie is world famous.Cha Tae-Hyun & Ji-hyun Jun make the perfect couple.Too bad they have not acted together after this except for a small scene in WindStruck.
