It’s here, the first teaser preview for the K-drama version of My Sassy Girl, taking the hit movie from the early Hallyu days and doing a sageuk twist nearly two decades later. I actually think the viewing audience doesn’t even need to be familiar with the original movie to want to watch this, the story lends itself to the typical K-drama romance tropes of uptight man and outspoken girl. Leads Joo Won and Oh Yeon Seo actually look fantastic in character, he’s got the looks and scholarly yet masculine aura to pull off scholarly restraint while she’s pulling out all her overacting chops to be the runaway wild princess but due to my goodwill for her from Please Come Back Ahjusshi it actually works for me. Even if this doesn’t end up very good it still looks worth a quick check when it premieres in mid May after Whisper.
My Sassy Girl teaser:
It looks awesome!! I can’t wait
Hope show won’t disappoint
I actually haven’t watched My Sassy Girl. So this remake doesn’t bother me. Since I like both main leads. I will watch it for them.
I’m definitely going to watch this
I saw several teasers and those piqued my interest. So I’m gonna check this out. Oh Yeon Seo did pretty decently in Shine or Go Crazy but I was turned off by her overacting (or character??) in Come Back Mr. I do think she has that mischievous aura that may fit the persona of this Jeoson sassy girl.
