So those who know me and have been victim to my sassy shenanigans will note that I frequently point to Korean Romantic Comedy classic “My Sassy Girl” as an explanation for my propensity to pass out drinking (kidding – maybe) and punching of people.
Because – after all, it’s cute! RIGHT?!
And I’m *NOT* the only crazy Korean girl out there. *RIGHT?!*
So imagine my dismay at discovering that the English remake is in production.
I mean, the classic opening scene where our leading actress pukes on top of the head of an old man and our leading actor has to mop up a puke ridden toupee off his head?
Now really. Can Jesse Bradford and Elisa Cuthbert do that justice?
Elisa Cuthbert’s pretty hot. True. But it sucks out all the “girl next door” goofy charm if she’s already a hottie.
Yeah?
No?
Maybe Hollywood is all out of good ideas already and the Koreans are already in full force on TV these days that they feel they gotta take a little back.
Hmmmm.
Jjoogooleh?! You wanna die?! Hollywood?! DAMN YOU!
What next?

Wow. This is right up there with the Ramen Girl staring Brittany Murphy in Tokyo learning to make ramen, but it’s not Tampopo, right? Right.
But with Sassy Girl, will the American one have the totally weird and 100% Korean melo-dramatic 45 minute long ending with the tree and all that? I don’t think Cuthbert is even hot enough to make me sit through that.
