He Was Cool

He Was Cool (그 놈은 멋있었다/Geunomeun Meoshiteotda) [reviews] is a 2004 Korean comedy romance film starring Song Seung Hun and Jeong Da Bin. The summary is as follows (taken from here):

Romance sizzles for Jung Da Bin (Rooftop Room Cat) and Summer Scent's Song Seung Hun in the silver screen blockbuster He Was Cool that is based on a best-selling novel. Jung portrays a vivid clever girl that gets involved in a touching affair with wealthy Song who has to display all his his lovely charms to overcome the shadows of the past ...

It's a pretty cute story though the plot is kind of redone. You know - a nice girl meets a tough guy and they somehow get to know each other better. However, there's got to be something there if the story keeps on being reused, yeah? Anyway, I admit I like seeing this process come to life on the TV screen though it's highly unlikely to happen in real life. It started pretty sweet and though there was one scene I was somewhat confused on, it worked out. I loved the fighting scenes and even though the girl annoyed me half the time with her... girly-ness (aka she cried in the most annoying way and was just a lump of flesh, not quite taking an active part in things) and sometimes, the guy was oozing male pheromones, it ended pretty nicely. Though it could have been done another way - there were some parts where they could have elaborated in the end.

I still think it was fairly entertaining for moments when you just want something to watch.
