Romantic Comedy “My Little Bride”

My previous blog was about a animation movie "Tangled" and both the movies "Tangled" and "My little bride" share a similarity as they both are romantic comedies.This Korean movie is a lively movie because of the two main characters in the movie - Boeun (Moon Geun Young) and Sangmin (Kim Rae Won). My little bride was released in the year 2004 in Korea and was a hit. This movie was directed by Kim Ho Jun and it was remake of a Chinese movie which was released in the year 2002.
Romance in this movie is different from usual love story movies or love at first sight movies. Boeun and Sangmin discovers love after marriage and it is portrayed very sweetly. The story is about a 16 year old girl getting married to a 24 year old guy who just out from military. Both these characters are childhood friends and were fond of each other as children. The story brings a twist when Boeun’s grandfather fells sick and forces both Boeun and Sangmin to get married as he had made a promise to Sangmin late grandfather. Both the family is shocked along with Boeun and Sangmin but agrees half heartedly has the grandfather is in the deathbed. Boen still an adolescent with no knowledge about marriage takes up marriage very lightly. In the meantime, she develops a crush with a baseball star player who is considered a cutest guy in her school. Also, Sangmin joins her school as a teacher and is love tortured by a female teacher who is a spinster. Both Boeun and Sangmin live in the same apartment but hiding the fact their married. After all the struggle, fight and confusion between the couple, they both notice the love for each other. Love was in the air but both ignored it and finally discover it in the end.
Overall the movie is funny and romantic as both Boeun and Sangmin lives up to the character in the movie. It is one feel good movie to watch as it is funny, cute, romantic and lovely. Not just that it is quite different from normal love stories, so worth watching it.

The all new Rapunzel - Tangled

Walt Disney’s ‘Tangled’ is an animation movie which gives the viewers a visual treat. This movie Tangled is basically a fairy tale called Rapunzel. The Movie was directed by Nathan Greno and Bryan Howard, starring Mandy Moore (Rapunzel), Zachary Levi (Thief) and Donna Murphy (Step mother). This movie is the 50th animated film for Walt Disney Company.
Long long ago in a far away Kingdom, there was this wicked witch who owned a mysterious plant and the plant had magic in it. The magical plant made this old witch look young and beautiful. This magical plant is discovered by the King’s men, in order to cure the pregnant Queen and she gets healed due the magical plant. The Queen gives birth to a beautiful golden haired baby girl. One day the wicked old witch steals the baby for her own goodness and locks her up in tower with no human contact. Rapunzel grows up into a beautiful teenager with 70 feet length golden hair, always dreaming of the world outside. Every year, her grieving parents used to lit the lanterns in the sky on her birthday, which Rapunzel would watch with wonder, without realizing it was meant for her. Finally she plans an escape from the tower with a help of a handsome thief and making a deal to return his stolen jewel for a day in the real world. The thief agrees to this deal half heartedly as his stolen jewel is at stake. Thus the wonderful journey begins for Rapunzel and the thief, with lot of adventure such as being chased by the guards, a super-cop horse and some of Flynn's(thief) former accomplices. Rapunzel thoroughly enjoys her new life until an unexpected twist happens.
The entire movie is magical and there is a slight alteration in the storyline. A handsome thief (Flynn) plays the main role instead of a prince as in original Rapunzel fairy tale. The movie has fantastic visual effects and each character in the movie has its own magic and charm. According to my opinion, this movie is completely adorable and movie to watch for those who prefer happily ever after fairy tales.
