"My New Sassy Girl"

Does "My New Sassy Girl" live up to the original?

About two weeks ago, I had the chance to answer this question. The long awaited sequel to"My Sassy Girl"was released here in Korea.

Called "My New Sassy Girl", it brings backCha Tae-hyeonas Gyeon-woo. However, the original girl,Jeon Ji-hyeon, did not reprise her role. Instead, K-pop group, f(x)'sVictoriais the new girl in the sequel.

Yet, as iconic as"My Sassy Girl"is, I felt the sequel went under the radar. Few people talked about the sequel and even here in Seoul, attendance was pretty low. It appeared that many people were already dismissing this movie as a flop.

So does the movie live up to theoriginal? Or even come 50% to sniffing what the first film was?

After watching the film, the short answer: no.

But why did the film not do as well? ?

When watching "My New Sassy Girl", it really didn't feel like a"My Sassy Girl"film. It lost the charms, pacing, silly games, and more.

To further go into the sequel's problems (and there are many, especially if you're a MSG 1 fan), I did anin-depth video review on "My New Sassy? Girl".
