 New Reviews - "My Little Bride   (DVDTalk.com)

My Little Bride.jpgMy Little Bride is a cute and fun with a perfect blend of romance and Korean-style slapstick comedy. The movie is about two families who have been very close and want to be closer. Their youngest generation consists of a male college student and a female high school student. Their grandparents were war buddies in the Korean War and made a pact to become relatives. The grandparent's children were both males and unable to fulfill that pact. Little did future generations know or expect that they would be expected to fulfill that pact. The storyline is a little absurd (and pretty unrealistic from an American standpoint, but perhaps more realistic in an older Korea?). Despite this minor point, My Little Bride shines with two great leading characters who have fantastic chemistry together and lots of comical situations to make you laugh and enough romance to make the story cute.

Park Sang-Min (Kim Rae-Won, What Planet Are You From?) is a college student who is studying overseas to teach fine arts education. He is a fun-loving guy who enjoys partying, drinking, his friends, and attractive women. He's a playboy, or at least that's what his childhood/family friend Suh Bo-Eun (Moon Geun-Young) believes. In the beginning of the movie, Sang-Min comes back to Korea because Bo-Eun's grandfather is sick in the hospital. Grandpa Suh practically raised Sang-Min's father. When Sang-Min arrives at the airport, he is loosely greeted by Bo-Eun. He relentlessly teases her and she responds with a feisty fury. It is evident from the start they have a great chemistry together. Click Here to Read More.
