My Little Bride

I decided to venture into the Korean, romantic comedy film genre again. It appears I enjoy Korean romantic comedies the most. I came across this film after searching for more films that were similar to My Sassy Girl, a film that I thoroughly enjoyed. My Little Bride is a fantastic movie that contains all the elements of a successful romantic comedy. I particular enjoyed how the filmed handled the concept of sex and that his bride was only 15 years old. The film continually touched on that fact and allowed the viewer to not be uncomfortable. I was not disappointed by this film and I recommend it if your a fan of Korean romantic comedies.

"Boeun (Moon Geun Young) is an ordinary high school girl who worries about grades and has a crush on her school's baseball team ace, Jungwoo. One day, Boeun's grandfather orders her to marry Sangmin (Kim Rae Won) because of a pact he made with Sangmin's grandfather during the Korean War. Despite the grandchildren's opposition, they are forced to marry because of Boeun's grandfather's strong influence. Boeun's undercover married life begins: She pretends that she doesn't have a husband and starts dating Jungwoo. Boeun believes that she can manage both men and live a double life. Everything goes smoothly until Sangmin visits Boeun's school as a student teacher.

This movie is the Korean version of a 2002 Hong Kong movie called My Wife is 18 starring Charlene Choi and Ekin Cheng."
