Two Main Characters - Kwon Sang-Woo and Kim Ha-Neul

Kwong Sang-woo plays a rich, spoiled student name Kim Ji-hun who seems to never finish high school. He fits this role perfectly mainly because of his looks. In this movie, he has to act tough and hard to get along with. His sleek and cool appearance makes the story more believable.

Kim Ha-neul plays Choi Su-weon, a college student who works as a part time tutor to pay for her tuitions. Her role as a sassy tutor makes it convincing that she can survive Ji-hun's insults. I think she did a good job in exposing the feisty side of her character.

The storyline is similar to other romance movies. It always starts off with the couple hating each other. Then they begin to realize that the other person is not so bad. They overcome some obsticles and a happy ending results.

What I like most about the movie is how Su-weon stays by Ji-hun's side through everything. She could have left when he pushed her away but instead, she stayed to not only fulfill her tutoring expectations but be someone who he can trust.

Although the storyline is predictable, I enjoyed seeing Kwong Sang-woo and Kim Ha-neul acting together. Although Kwong Sang-woo and Kim Ha-neul are not around the main characters' age, they did a good job portraying their role.

Overall, this movie is a must see. There are some really cute and sweet scenes that you just can't miss...not to mention the funny names Kwong Sang-woo calls Kim Ha-neul in the movie.
