**Spoiler Alert

The first thing I notice about this movie is that it has such a good opening. It's all so artistic and definitely wonderful. I really get the feeling that whoever made the movie was very serious about it.

S Diary tells a story of a freshly dumped woman (Kim Sun Ah) who suddenly realizes that all the men she has dated are never interested in sincerely loving her. All her three ex boyfriends (Lee Hyun Woo the priest, Kim Soo Ro the rude playboy, and Gong Yoo the spoiled artist) were sent a bill, asking them to reimburse her monetarily or else.

This movie is every bit of funny as it is sad. At first, Kim Sun Ah was so blinded by her fury and then she is eager to get her revenge. In the end, after she gets all her money, she realizes that however horrible all her relationships have been, the memory of them would always be meaningful.

The storyline is pretty nice. It is able to mix comedy, romance, drama, and does not appear like it lacks one or the others. The plot itself may not spectacularly creative but it manages to develop the plot into such a great movie. From the beginning towards the end, it does not lose focus and last, it ends resolutely and very sweetly.

Kim Sun Ah shines as always. She plays her character with so much heart that the viewers would cry when she cries and be mad when she is. All the three ex-boyfriends act very well too. I have always found Gong Yoo to be so adorable yet sexy. And in this movie, he is once again able to give the viewers those persona. Lee Hyun Woo and Kim Soo Ro play their characters very nicely as well.

This movie is recommended for you to watch when you just want to lay back, enjoy yourself, but still want something of a substance. Watch it, if you haven’t already done so.

    I wonder why kim sun-ah always portrays to be a heartbroken chick. Just like the way she did kim samsoon in MLKS.. Anyway, Isn't she great? She got strong emotions in acting. She's a kick-ass in She's on Duty! Yeah!

    Man... at the end, when you see the boys' point of view - I teared up. My eyes are still shining, I just finished watching it.Specially the last part, with Gong Yoo puzzling over that difficult book and saying "My baby worked on this, how can I not read it?" I kept hoping she'd get back together with one of the boys, but I knew, deep down, that wasn't going to happen.
    This movie shows that relationships are beautiful, even when they don't end like we want to.
    It makes me feel better about myself, and a total bitch at the same time.

    I agree that the opening was very good but as the movie proceeds it slows down. I didn't like it that much as I expected it. Its a average movie that one can watch just once.

    very good movie, but god i hate the ending part. she should have kept the movie to go on a vacation she deserves, no spending sprees. The men did some great things for her, but still used her for sex. simple as it is. priest wanna get laid before he never get a chance. cop wanna have fun and do what he wanted then cheated on her to get a fake stable life like she is some kind of blowup doll (Plus, she helped pay for most of the stuffs). The last spoiled boy makes sense, he is young and exploring pleasure and lazy ass. But should have told her simply like her, but wanna have fun with other girls. Jin-hee shouldn't have slapped him and Gong-yoo shouldn't have grabbed her throat. This movie is pretty much a propaganda to tell women that if men use you for sex, try hard as you can to find just one one one small pleasure memory then forgive them and be nice to them while they go off to find another women for sex or stable life. (they weren't looking for love, they were looking for stable life after they bang her). They did well done acting but ewww.
