queen Jan 08 2020 10:09 am wowww i just had a good time watching this film, this is superbb!! a very worth-watching film. everything was soooo finee!! soo funny yet romantic!!

lrt Mar 16 2019 4:12 pm This was so much fun and made me laugh out loud! Great chemistry...

Dzijrs May 31 2018 9:03 am This is hilarious movie a good one. I laugh a lot even it might be very open minded but still ok. i like because there's no awkwardness between the main leads to captures some unusual scene. Great both main actors too.

vicorn Feb 22 2016 7:27 am Man, this was one amazing movie; witty, romantic, hilarious. What i particularly liked though was the fact that the main protagonist hadn't actually done the "deed" before, something that is unheard of in a western movie, especially a modern one. As someone who lives in a society where, if you haven't had sex before, especially till a certain age, you are considered a freak of nature, I found that extremely refreshing. Highly recommended movie

ace Oct 17 2014 11:09 pm I found this to be one of the funniest Korean rom-coms. Very light material. Adult without being blue. And the two leads were perfect. Especially Choi Gang-Hee. Almost every scene she was in had me cracking up. Even as I write this I'm starting to laugh just remembering her interactions with her brother. . . Really funny script that they did a great job with. If you have not watched it I'd recommend it if you want a triangle-less, deathless, lighthearted, good-natured and funny film.

Baby Elephant indeed.....

Coy Jan 27 2014 8:03 pm Thank you for the good writeup. It in truth was a amusement account it. Glance advanced to more added agreeable from you! By the way, how could we communicate?

Sposoby na kase Jul 14 2013 3:23 am Hello There. I found your blog using msn. This is a really well written article. I will make sure to bookmark it and return to read more of your useful information. Thanks for the post. I'll certainly return.

Ki Dec 19 2010 8:00 am "Pretty Love Affairs" (horrible English title - the literal Korean title "Cheap Romance" isn't that much better either) is the best comedy I have seen this year! Everything about this movie hits a bullseye - literally the person that I watched the movie had tears coming out from laughing so hard. The two main leads - Lee Sun-Gyun and Choi Gang-Hee - were perfect in their roles and, man, the more I see of Ryu Hyun-Kyung the more I wonder to myself why she hasn't been a leading lady yet. Anyways, for an absolutely funny, sexy, witty, (and since its a Korean comedy) a few touching scenes movie check "Pretty Love Affairs" ! By far my favorite Korean comedy this year. I would easily give the movie two huge thumbs up and if I had ten hands I would give it 10 big thumbs up!
