When Bordedom Gets to You

    I had a Korean movie marathon last Sunday (Feb. 3). I watched My Sassy Girl, Windstruck, and My Crazy Love. And boy, did I learn a lot.

From My Sassy Girl:
1. You can get away with almost anything if you’re pretty (anything: beating up a guy, getting free food, beating up a guy and STILL getting free food, throwing up on someone, wearing sneaks with formal attire, standing up a guy for a year and still getting him back, and many more).
2. Hang around the subway. In our case, the MRT/LRT. If and when you find a drunk girl/guy who’s about to be hit by the oncoming train, rescue her. He/She might just be worth the effort.
3. Always bring an extra pair of slippers/shoes. For when your girlfriend suddenly has the urge to borrow yours.
4. Bringing a girl flowers in the middle of her class is NOT cool. Yeah it’s sweet. But it’s just not cool! Okay?! It’s really embarrassing!!!
5. Listen to your mother. If she tells you to go see your aunt, do it. She might just introduce you to the girl/boy of your dreams (and prevent maybe 2-3 years of waiting).

From Windstruck:
1. Saving a girl from utter humiliation and big trouble will get you a one-way ticket to boyfriend status.
2. Don’t drive on a mountain on rainy days. If you absolutely have to, look out for gigantic boulders falling onto the road.
3. Drawing a moving cartoon on the corners of books about you and your girl/boyfriend is very cute. ‘Nuf said.
4. If your girl/boyfriend is trying to catch a criminal, don’t try to help. Don’t even THINK about helping. Just stay put and read a book or something. Bottom line is, if you’re not a cop, don’t try to be one.
5. When you die, you can hang around for 49 days ’til you officially disappear from the face of the Earth. Incidentally, people will stop looking for you after 49 days.

From My Crazy Love:
1. Yes. Some people are gullible enough to become your personal slave if you’re good-looking, rich enough, and if you have something to threaten them with. In some cases, only the first 2 are needed.
2. When a guy kisses you, it doesn’t mean he’s telling you to give up college to marry him.
3. When a good-looking, rich dude asks you to become his personal slave, look like you’re doomed, but still go along with it. He just might be the guy of your dreams (who am I kidding?!).
4. One way to win a girl’s heart: make her believe she failed at something and then tell her in the end she didn’t. Yeah, sure. That’ll win her heart alright.
5. To get back together with a girl, make sure to bring her to a spot that lights up at night (could be a carnival, a theme park, or anywhere that will give you a really glorious entrance). The romantic atmosphere will make her less inclined to smack your face after doing #4.

    These three movies made me laugh, cry, and appreciate the sweet things that can happen in life. I can only conclude that Koreans sure do know how to make awesome romantic comedies.
