A Classic Romantic-Comedy featuring Ha Ji Won ( What Happened in Bali,Sex is Zero, Duelist...) as Bong Hee. Kwon Sang Woo (Stairway to Heaven...) as Kyu Sik.

A story of a Seminarian who will be ordained within a month, but due to unfortunate circumstances they was assigned to a rural church. There He met a girl who will make his life interesting.

The actors/actresses are suitable for their characters especially Ha Ji Won playing a Modern, easy-go-lucky girl.
Kwon Sang Woo looks is very serious, being a seminarist really - is for him.

The location is nothing new same thing with every korean movie a place of countryside.
The only cons of this movie is that you can easily findout whats going to happen in the end, but still it's one of the greatest dramedy korea had made. 4/5

Kyu Sik (Kwon Sang Woo) is a diligent seminarian about to be ordained in a month. After an accident in the seminary, however, he and his friend Seon Dal are assigned to serve in a rural church to prove their worthiness to become priests. There, he encounters Bong Hee (Ha Ji Won), the parish priest's niece who has just arrived from America. Kyu Sik's series of unfortunate encounters with Bong Hee prompts the parish priest to persuade the seminarian to prepare his niece for baptism as part of his education and training.

As a Catholic, I enjoyed Kwon Sang Woo's portrayal of a shy and sheltered seminarian. His character's personality is in sharp contrast with that of Bong Hee, thus resulting in less than holy confrontations amid the Catholic setting. The movie does well in depicting a seminarian's confusion about his vocation in relation to the unplanned romance between a man of God and a woman of the world.

With the awkward situations in which the characters find themselves, the movie is quite entertaining.
