J Duane Robinson Jun 02 2022 1:40 pm Cyborg Shel (2008) is part of the "My Sassy Girl Trilogy" by Kwak Jae Yong

This is the last movie of the "My Sassy Girl Trilogy" by director/screenwriter Kwak Jae Young.

The first movie is My Sassy Girl (2001).

The second movie is Windstruck (2004).

The third movie is Cyborg She (2008), a Japanese movie.

They are unrelated except for having a 'sassy girl' theme

Kwak Jae Yong served as screenwriter & director for all three above films.

Ryu Samuël Nov 02 2021 10:55 am If you remembered My Sassy Girl, in the movie Jun Ji Hyun always talked about making a movie with a female super hero who travels time. Cyborg She is this move she was talking about.

Anakin Mar 13 2021 10:45 pm all i can say is that there is still par 2. this movie is very, very good. the beauty of performing as a cyborg is so much that I inlove. the truth is that I am also crying. in the end the crying was intense as it came out. I will never forget this movie

Jpoper Jan 04 2020 3:06 pm The makers of this movie forgot the most important thing in a time travel story, it's the "loop." It's where the start and end of the time travel. There should be a definite setting instead of going back and forth. Changing everything means changing everything. Doesn't make any sense right? That is what this movie is about -- it doesn't make any sense.

If you change one event in the past, then there is a change but the new change will become the new history, there is no "previous" history because you change it already.

The movie overlapped all time travels it doesn't make any sense. Hahahaha.

Greg Ichtertz Jan 06 2019 9:10 pm Really memorable excellent movie

Angel Zhou Jun 26 2016 10:21 am And for ones who actually follow the twist, I don't think it is a sad ending. It ends with the robot, but it's definitely a new start with the human <3

Angel Zhou Jun 26 2016 10:19 am Genius twist. Perfect acting. This is where I started to fall in love with Koide Keisuke, and want to treasure Japanese movies more. A MUST WATCH!!!

Dhedol May 02 2016 9:06 am What is the difference "Cyborg She and Cyborg Girl"?

I really like this movie. Mar 08 2016 8:54 pm I really like this movie. The story is not forgotten, Have meaning. I like the player characters and storylines. Female actor really make love. I want no continuation of the story of this film.

Muhammad Adam Hussein, S.Pd Nov 30 2015 11:33 pm I salute Haruka Ayase acting as if such a robot , even when so stuffed doll was not expecting him . Fantastic.

But why should end up with sad , I think it would be a happy ending of this movie .

MASH Nov 24 2015 7:34 am Both actors played also together in 'Jin'.

Trew Mar 13 2015 12:38 am @jas2642, they have same screenwriter/director.

Chris Dec 04 2013 1:31 am I love this movie so flipping much! My favorite of Kwak Jae-Young's 3 part, yet unrelated storyline, series. And this is coming from a Jeon Ji-Hyeon fan. Everyone I've forced to watch "Cyborg She" has loved it, too.

Jang Hae Joo Dec 02 2013 7:18 pm Rewatched for about 20 times. Still can't get over it!!!

fhine lagumbay Jul 27 2012 2:39 am i love this movie,. it makes my brain think and analyze further!!!^^

ET Jun 24 2012 8:54 am I Want part Two :(... we dont know, Jiro is received while the human version of the beloved now is a cyborg who has died. Although the same idea, but actually are two different figures. I waited a Cyborg She Part to until end of my life :(

Marky Feb 02 2012 11:52 am First, Windstruck was top of my list BUT after watching Cyborg She, GOOOSH! I changed my mind. It was the first time I cried for almost 30mins straight. I'm a guy, just so you know guys. I really love this film... *SPEECHLESS! While watching the movie, i wished it never ends. :( I'm not saying that the other prequels were boring and not fun at all. I too admit that the korean director was great and all of his works is simply the best. BUT, CYBORG SHE was the one who moved my heart to the maximum level. I WANT A PART TWO!!! :'(

kayelockheart Jan 30 2012 6:34 am have finished watching all these movies by Jae-young Kwak... I've come to watch Windstruck years ago...then come to encounter "my sassy girl" after my brother brought a tape of it...each movie was brought to me...accidentally seen... every movie comes to me like fate... each character of the lady in the movies seems to have my qualities that's why i see myself and cry on sad parts...feel what they feel... but haven't found that guy yet...someone from the past...someone who feels my heart... soon i'll come from the future to see him...

JOSE ,AIZA D Dec 17 2011 6:33 am for the first time i fell inlove when i watch these movie....its super unique and enjoyable...i want to meet all the actors of these movie,although I am a girl i feel boy when i watch these movie because cyborg girl is so very beautiful like a doll....i wish i could see you someday.... i really really love u,

Ki Oct 19 2008 6:48 pm “Cyborg She” aka “Cyborg Girl” makes a fitting final installment in Jae-young Kwak’s “Sassy Girl” trilogy. Although the films don’t share a common story line (sans the last portion of “Windstruck” connecting with “My Sassy”) there are common elements found in each of these films. There’s the basic “Romantic-Comedy” factor between a passive guy and tom boy’ish girl as the basic framework for each of the three films. Then a random mixture of drama, tragedy, and interweaving of different time settings all come into play.

While Kwak’s “My Sasy Girl” was a slam-dunk hit throughout Asia, “Windstruck” met a far more mixed reaction. “Windstruck” pretty much bombed at the korean box-office while doing extremely well in Japan. Thus, Kwak’s third installment is made in Japan with an entire Japanese cast and the Japanese funding needed to produce such an ambitious film. Kwak’s “Cyborg Girl” shares more with “Windstruck” than “My Sassy Girl” in style and theme, making it a fitting final piece of his “Sassy Girl” trilogy.

The story in “Cyborg Girl” works well, especially in the first third and final third portions. In the beginning we’re treated to Haruka Ayase’s cyborg girl meeting the otaku’ish Jiro (played by Keisuke Koide). This set-up allows for a lot of cute moments between the girl robot without feelings and the boy that has feelings for the girl robot. The middle portion of the film unfortunately falls into a rut. Several episodic moments felt entirely unnecessary or even straight up boring. The trip back to Jiro’s hometown nearly put me to sleep and the hostage situation felt like it was thrown in just to satisfy a final running time quota. Fortunately the final third of the film picks up the slack noticeably and installs genuinely touching moments between the cyborg girl and Jiro. Of course this being a Jae-yonug Kwak film expect some surprising twists towards the end of the film.

Fans of “My Sassy Girl” and “Windstruck” should really check out “Cyborg She,” they will likely love the movie. Personally, I thought “My Sassy Girl” was cute, but overhyped and “Windstruck” was just plain bad (except the first 5 minutes of the film ). Nevertheless, I found myself enjoying “Cyborg Girl”. Kwak had no problems transporting his story into a Japanese setting. Main performers Haruka Ayase and Keisuke Koide felt generic at times, but they were able to bring enough life into their characters to make it less of an issue. All in all, “Cyborg Girl” is a feel good movie that can make more sentimental folks all teary eyed.
