My Thoughts:
After enjoying all the other movies written and directed by this guy, I thought I would finish with watching the last one I have.
I have now seen a romantic comedy, a romantic drama, a romantic fantasy, a romantic sci-fi movie and now a silly romantic martial arts movie done by him. I had my expectations lowered for this movie as the reviews for this one are not as good as for his other movies. But I have to admit that I have enjoyed it. The lead actress (Min-a Shin from "The Beast and the Beauty") is just adorably funny in this one. Although I do not really like the last fifteen minutes or so. It seems a little like the movie forgot all about what it has been until then and completely forgot to resolve all the other storylines besides her having to battle some nemesis.

My Thoughts:
This is a film that was given to me back when it originally came out... was a birthday present. I have watched it before.... but didn't think much of it. Since part 2 was recently given to me I decided to give this one another chance and remind myself of what happened before watching part 2. After watching it this time I will say it is a watchable film. Really nothing more then average. I can accept the whole teen-angst thing... I can also handle the whole romance thing. But being the huge vampire fan... I can't handle is their take on the vampire lore. While I can appreciate that there is a lot of versions of the vampire myth... this one more then stretches it to it's limits. There is certain aspects of vampires that shouldn't be messed with. I have mixed feelings on the whole baseball game during the thunderstorm... part of me found it to be entertaining... but another part of me just found it to be silly. At least the end of the baseball game brought in a little of a horror aspect into the film. This storyline is what really kept my interest. Makes the film bearable for me.

My Rating:
Out of a Possible 5
