Seducing Mr Perfect

Since I was a little kid I've always been fascinated by Japanese culture from the language, the food (i'm a sushi lover!), their clothes, their music, their style and their J-dramas. Japan is at the top of my wish list of the many places I would like to visit before I die.

If I had to choose between watching J-dramas and K-dramas I would have previously chosen to watch J-dramas especially the ones with my fav actor Takuya Kimura. However now I might be persuaded otherwise since watching Seducing Mr Perfect -a South Korean movie starring Uhm Jung Hwa and the gorgeous Daniel Henney.

The movie has all the essentials of a romantic comedy:
the hero and heroine had a great chemistry between them, script which manages to have romantic and funny element without sounding too corny ,great soundtrack and filmed at a great location and THE most important element of all the gorgeous Daniel Henney!

Min Joon (Uhm Jung-hwa) is a girl who believes in true love and has always been unlucky in love ending up with guys who always took her for granted. One day, on her way to work she bumps into a car and the car owner turns out to be Robin Heiden (Daniel Henney). Heiden has different ideas about relationship and love: to him both are a game of power. Min-Joon fears about being dumped again so seeks advice from Heiden. However, When she changes her behaviour like Heiden she realises she prefers her old self.

Heiden was also dealing with his own heartbreak. He loved a woman so much up to the point she shot him to get her away from him. Min Joon showed him a different way of looking at relationships and eventually falls in love with her. My fav scene of the movie was when both of them were caught up in the rain and Heiden was giving advice to Min Joon.

Guys: please take note if you ever watch this movie Daniel Henney is how every guy should be and how he acts at the end of the movie is what every girl wants : TLC (tender loving care)

The ending scene of this movie was so lovely. The script was great and really captures the moment. Both had a hapPy ending of their own. Usually I would be cautious that a movie like this might be a bit too corny but I think it had the right ingredients to a lovely feel good movie.

Have a look at the trailer and the soundtrack to this movie. Enjoy!
