| Even without reading the reviews that would've been my guess. Hollywood remakes of foreign films invariably suck, and a k-romance story of falling in love with a psycho girl who beats you up all the time wouldn't work anywhere else but here. |

With such a stellar cast, I agree. |

As I recall the remake of Infernal Affairs did rather well.

Did well, yes... but in comparison to the original?
I'm actually asking - still haven't seen the original. |

I have the original and one of the sequels (there were three films), but never bothered to see The Departed. The first Internal Affairs was great.
Infernal Affairs II couldn�t live up to the first one, but it was still better than a lot of other movies I�ve seen. I heard that The Departed was a combination of all three movies, but I wouldn�t know. I bought the first one from yesasia for $6 years ago, but now they charge $15.

(I don't know who the chick is on the cover, she wasn't in the movie...) |

| I can't see how a remake could work. That movie totally relies on Korean customs. |

True. But even then it was a bit wanky.
In reality, very few foreign movies are remade to a decent quality....City of Angels anybody?! |

| Totally made in Korea, by koreans for koreans... very funny with subtitles, adds more spunk to the action... but an English remake... Beeg Mistake, unless of-course you find a way to make up for the silliness... btw... JJH is the best... |

| My Sassy Girl worked for Korea and Asia because a young woman being kind of loud and demonstrative in public was something of a novelty. I'm not sure how they'll capture that shock 'n' awe in the west. |

Where does it say it will be "straight to video"?  |

Damn straight - 6 months from now you'll find it on the shelf between "SuperBabies - Baby Geniuses 2" and "Battlefield Earth"
And the explanation in the Korean media?
"Foreigners don't get the complex Korean relationships, they don't know what 정 is."
Maybe not, but I sure know a turkey when I see it. |

| My Sassy Girl was a good movie. But thats because it made sense in the Korean context. Hollywood will destroy it. I expect the same would happen with a movie like Old Boy, in Korean a masterpiece, in its Hollywod version it will be crap. |
