Can fists of fury pound the matters of the heart down to size?

I think it can as shown by this undeniably sweet, giggle-fest. The movie starts out with just your average girl attending a high school run by fear. Just a little slip of the mouth sends that girl, Han Ye Won, (played by Jeong Da Bin) into a world she could have never imagined. Her trash-talking broadens her crazy, yet somewhat plain, life onto a whole new level: love. Apparently, everyone has their hidden confidence when it comes to those who are threatening. Han Ye Won thought the same when she went on her school’s website forum and insulted the ‘scariest’ man alive, the very same man that would change her life forever, Ji Eun Seong (played by Sung Seong Hun). She brushed off what she had said and went on with her daily life until it came back at her with a minor warning, only to be shoved into a full-blown threat. While going to the salon to get her hair done, Han Ye Won found herself being called by her intimidator and freely spoke her mind through only to find that he was sitting beside her.

It was love at first fight.

It’s a pretty straight-forward plot; nothing too deep. It’s not really about a bully and his downfall, but the heart and its mysterious ways. To make a man like Ji Eun Seong fall to his knees in the sight of love in an ordinary girl is phenomenal. The actors did an amazing job as I could feel my heart race for the next scene. Tears stung my eyes as I couldn’t stop myself from laughing.

If you need something light-hearted and extra fun, check this out.

I liked the movie He Was Cool basically because the title speaks for itself. The guy and also the girl in this movie were both cool in the sense that they have a weird sense of taste when it comes to love. I never thought that a popular guy like Song Seung Hun would actually fall for an ordinary girl like Jeong Da Bin. But as I watched further, I soon realized what made the guys fall for an ordinary girl like Jeong Da Bin.

Simplicity I guess and her being natural into everything unlike the other girls out there...=p

I find the movie also sad for the fact that some people (until now...)still can't hold off their tongue. In short, they're very nosy and judgemental! I hate those kind of people..don't you?

Because of that lame ol' rumor about the cause of death of Song Seung Hun's father, alot of children started to avoid him out of fear that they too might catch the virus (well, those were told, maybe, by their narrow-minded folks!)

There's actually a part in the movie where it showed how it all started...that somehow, the guy liked the girl already right from the start... fate? I don't know... maybe...

But, I'm glad that the movie ended as to what I was hoping it would be. Although it only showed short scenes where they're reunited again, it's good to know that they still ended together--> happily with each other.

This movie rocked. this movie wass so funny, i love the actors they are so funny. nd the guy knows how to fight oO. oviously he was a gang member . in the beging the scene starts out in a little ally where the guy Eung Sung, beats up the school gang. the girl leaves a mean / funny comment in the school’s site. thinking tat the guy will never find out. but the guy calls her the next day. she jus clicked on him. . and one of her friends told her that Eung Sung beat up everyone guy in her school. they met each other in a salon. Eung Sung called her inside the salon, and asked her if she wanted to die. And accidentally she said “if you want to kill me, then try!” and then the guy got pissed :o so he was chasing her around the neighboorhood
and they were both wearing like salon clothes. you know those blue things they put on u, before u cut ur hair? so they were running around wearing tat xD.

The next day he texted her saying “meet me at the front gate after school.” She got so scared that she decided to ditch school in the middle of the day trying to run away. But Eung Sung’s friends were in front of the gate. So they decided to jump over the wall. Then she landed on Eung Jung and accidentally kissed her O.o So the guy told her to take responsible for her actions by marring her. And it seem to happen that was his first kiss from a girl. She went out with him, because she was scared of him. But eventually they both end up likeing each other in the end. This movie was really funny and good. I recommend everyone to watch this J thanks! Once again :]

    this show is just dead hilarious and i must say i never knew song seung heon had such a humorous side in him (thats having watched his serious and always crying character in autumn's tale). And well, after watching he was cool, i must admit i got stuck to song seung heon's good looks and was looking for him all over youtube

    The scene where the female charcter wore those zebrastrips and having her head stuck was gold. who would ever do such a thing? my goodness and who can ever forget the proposal of "you got to be responsible for your actions, having kissed me" (if i was that girl, i would gladly marry SSH anytime), and what about the character ye won running away form eun seong in the saloon and that green like flabs that just flew like mad. haha those were some of the best moments of he was cool, but i thought he ending was seriously umm wierd, i mean it was a good try with all the computer graphics but i thought it was better if they do without it.

    and like tommy, i gladly recommend anyone to this awesome comedy to anyone who needs a good laugh
