Good story, Not enough for a whole film
Aneesa Wardle
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

Unfortunately it seemed that director Dong-Yeob Shin just plotted in the data of 'how-to-make-a-romantic-comedy' and a very generic plot was printed. The entire movie seemed to be on autopilot and following the generic guide of how to make a romantic comedy step by step.That being said, I am not saying that "100 Days With Mr. Arrogant" (aka "Nae-sa-rang ssa-ga-ji") is a bad or poor movie. Not at all. What I am saying is that it is unfathomably generic and offers absolutely nothing new to the genre at all. And if you have seen any other South Korean romantic comedy, then you know exactly what you will get here.I will say that it is always nice to see Ji-Won Ha in a movie, as she is a diverse actress and quite talented. Together with Jae-Won Kim she carried the movie quite well.As for the story, well, it is your typical hate turns to love romantic comedy, so I don't think it needs any elaboration."100 Days With Mr. Arrogant" is not the best that the genre has to offer, but it is still worth sitting down and watching a single time.

100 Days with Mr. Arrogant,also known as My Love Ssagaji,is a South Korean romantic comedy.It stars Kim Jae-Won, Ha Ji-Won and Kim Tae- Hyeon.It is about high school girl Ha Young. After being dumped by her boyfriend just before their 100 day anniversary, she meets a college guy named Hyung-Joon when she kicks a can that accidentally hits him in the face and causes him to scratch his Lexus. He demands she pay him 3 million won ($3000) on the spot. She escapes from him, leaving her wallet behind.Hyung-Joon stalks her, demanding money to pay for his car. Since she is a poor high school student Hyung-Joon writes up a "Enslavement Agreement" for Ha-Young in order to pay for the damage to his car. Ha- Young is thrown into a nightmarish slave life for 100 days,such as running his errands, cleaning his house, carrying his shopping, and cleaning his car.By accident she finds out that the damage to Hyung-Joon's car that's only 10,000 won ($10). She then takes her revenge. However, before she knows it.Hyung-Joon shows up at her house as her new tutor! He once again takes advantage of her, but soon Ha-Young finds herself falling head over heels for Hyung-Joon. A lot of people have considered this as one of the best Korean romantic comedies ever made in recent years.But in reality,it is simply a generic one that involves formulaic plot and clichés.Aside from that,the chemistry between the lead stars - Ha Ji-Won and Kim Jae-Won - is what defines the movie.Aside from that,the story somewhat "mocks" the Asian culture of male superiority especially when Hyung-Joon writes up a "Enslavement Agreement" for Ha-Young for a certain number of days.Overall,this is one film that provides fun and entertainment that would certainly won't be place in the same category like other Korean romantic comedy masterpiece such as My Sassy Girl.

First of all, I'd just like to say that I'm really offended at the comment by the previous user. 'i guess it's hard to expect Korea to keep putting out quality movie.' If you're going to write a review, at least use proper grammar and capitalise your i's. What do you mean it's hard for Korea to keep putting out quality movies? That's a very racist comment and it shouldn't be posted here.Onto the real review...this was a really disappointing movie. I had high expectations for it since it sounded liked a cool movie, but after I watched it, I felt like I wasted my time. The storyline is very bland, and it was probably just riding on the popularity of Kim Jae-Won and Ha Ji-Won at the time. The story jumps from one scene to the next, and before you realise it, BAM! The two lead characters are in love...(now, isn't that a surprise?) The worst part of it was the ending - it was lame and totally expected. You'll find yourself rolling your eyes by the end...the movie's full of clichés, and it's a waste of an hour.

I didn't have too high hopes for this movie, and it sure didn't suprise me in any way.It's been described almost like MSG (my sassy girl), and after watching it, I have to say...it only comes out looking like a horrible and shapeless replica.Acting was...on par. Ha Ji Won isn't really a great actress...and she sure didn't impress in this one either. She is however a very goodlooking being, and for me that was kinda what drove me through this sorry excuse for a movie. Kim Jae Won was most definately the best preformer, but he bleaks under the horrible plot...and the execution of it.The movie suffers from being horribly easy to predict. It also fails where MSG succeded...the transition during the movie from (romantic)comedy to romance.There were some semi-funny scenes in it though. But nothing worth remembering. Spend ur time with something else...I only reccomend seeing this if you're either a die-hard Jae-won or Ji-won fan... or if u like waisting time.
