I really liked this film because even though it was full of humour, it did have its cute parts that involved the 2 main characters connecting with one another. It sort of reminded me of "Devil Beside You" (taiwanese TV show) where the boy is tough on the outside and soft on the inside. He gets caught up with a girl who has a very unique personality and forces her to be with him. Da-bin Jeong played a very good role and did put all her effort into it. If you haven't heard, Da-bin Jeong past away this year and when I read about it I was shocked! I can't believe it, a young girl with such great talent for acting could do this to herself. I wish there was someone that could've stopped her before it was too late. All I can say is that she was too young. But all in all it was a really good film and if she were still alive today I would be looking forward to seeing more of her work.

Underestimated!

Sadly this movie hasn't reached that many outside Southkorea. That's bad because this is funny, smart and moving. I love it. The actors are great and I just love Seung-hon Song when she's crying. Even though some of the special effects is kind of bad they are not disturbing the experience. Like many other South Korean movies the story is kind of odd at the beginning but after a while things beginning to get clearer. Not that many twists but exiting in its own special way.
Watch it, cry and laugh because this is the best Korean Comedy/Romance-movie since My Sassy Girl. Not better but close enough. Or maybe...

this movie is amazing!!! it'll have you laughing your head off and at the same time it'll touch your heart. really, i can't help but think. you know surely there is a certain soft side for every bad boy round the block. and all it takes to tame that one guy is for him to have his ideal girl. right? in the movie, he does have trouble expressing his feelings for her. but when opportunity comes knocking, he really is sugary sweet. you can't help but be awed by his sweetness and love for her. the most touching scene is when, he worked at night lifting bricks --- just to get her a present. like wow! the movie is downright funny, especially the first few scenes. like hello? imagine yourself running down the city streets... your head is still a huge jungle of salon wachamacallits!
One of the SWEEEtest movie ever

He was cool is one of the best romantic comedies ever made. Its highly recommended to everybody, because it has everything, great cast and great story with lots of humor and emotions. I just simply fell in love with Song Seung Heon after watching this movie, he's so adorable, words cant explain.He is tough but still so innocent and sweet. And the actress is cute as well. And the action sequence is cool too. This movie makes you laugh and cry, and the ending is so sweet. I have never ever watched Korean movies before. This is the second Korean movie I've watched, and its great, and these days i am making it popular through my friends, i recommend it to everybody!!!!!!!
Brilliant film, not to be missed

How can anyone possibly not love this movie. It is a very sweet, funny and touching film. One of the best korean films by far. Seung Hun and Da bin gave very superb performances...loved every moment of it. It is suber uber romantic from beginning to end and portrays what true love should be like. The ending is well....i would say a little bit unexpected esp. cuz we think seung hun's character left the girl for good. It was a very pleasant surprise...when he returned fulfilling her dream. You should watch it or else you will regret. hahaha. Enjoy this brilliant movie
He_Was_Cool - Excellent movie

I'm a 23 year old male teenager who happened to stumble upon this movie two years ago at school during a free day in math class (when I was 15). I liked it then, but the math class ended before the movie could be finished. This contains a heartfelt conclusion to a story where you get to care about, two polar opposite teenagers who face peer struggles and the perils of love and death. The situations that occur are very real, and very sad. Once the movie finishes, you'll be left wondering what happens to everyone (heck, even though it doesn't make sense, I want a sequel!). really niccccce movie and i recommended it to all.you too will like it...
this movie was cool

he was cool, another movie from Korea that involves a teenage boy who can fight and a somewhat sassy girl.
however, that being said this was a really funny and cute story, i wasn't expecting much but i found myself throughly enjoying this movie. the storyline isn't anything new, but i really fell in love with the characters.
if you liked my tutor friend you'd probably enjoy this movie too, however i hated my sassy girl (especially CD 1, could that have been a bigger waste of my time?), and i know there is a huge fan base for my sassy girl out there, so watch this movie and judge for yourself.
4/5 ****

Touching story of young love.

When does anyone fall in love with someone? This amazing story explains the love a young man has for a girl - and the trouble life can throw at you if you miss any slight chance to express yourself...as another - his best friend - also falls hard for the same girl! (Also a triangle between girls - is shockingly real) I don't understand the workings of Korean gangs (or any gangs actually)...but very intense life. The conflict is amazing between the two friends, and the growth to a deeper friendship is so raw, and felt true.
The subtitles are clear and easy to read - so I hope you take the opportunity and watch this well written, and truly amazing story of young love.
