Seducing Mr. Perfect (2006)
Min-joon is a believer in true love and always very dedicated to her current boyfriend. Distracted by the latest break-up, she bumps into a car and a man steps out of it - who turns out to be her new boss, Robin Heiden. Heiden has very clear ideas about a relationship and love: both are a game of power and Min-Joon seeks advice from him, as she doesn't want to get dumped again. However, when she starts to treat men like Heiden treats women, she realizes that she prefers her older behaviour, even if that means that she gets dumped again; she doesn't see love as a game of power and never will. Heiden, who has to deal with his own heartbreak, as he loved a woman so much that she had to shoot him to get the message across that she wasn't interested in him, starts to soften at Min-joon's attitude towards life. He eventually falls in love with her and both get into a real relationship and a happy ending of their own.

Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??
Instant Favorite.
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
it's one of the worst movies i'd ever seen , especially when it comes to south Korean movies which are so enjoyable . the 2 actor's chemistry was horrible , the acting was superficial , everything was in the wrong place , it's the only South Korean movie that i didn't like so far , there is nothing to say about it , it's just : "waste of time" and my rating is : 1 on 5
"Min Jun" (Jeong-hwa Eom) is preoccupied while driving on her way to work one morning and accidentally rear-ends the car in front of her which is stopped at a red light. When the driver, "Robin Heiden" (Daniel Henney) gets out to collect her insurance information Min Jun (aka "June") pretends not to be able to speak English. As luck would have it Robin sees through her ploy and after obtaining the necessary information continues on his way. That same morning June is taken to meet the new manager of the conglomerate in which she works and it turns out that her new boss is—Robin Heiden. Obviously, it's just not her day--and things are about to become even worse. Now rather than give away any more of the story and risk ruining the film for those who haven't seen it I will just say that this was a pretty good Korean romantic-comedy. I especially liked the performance of Miss Jeong-hwa Eom who was both funny and adorable as well. In any case, provided a person doesn't mind watching a film in another language with English subtitles then this is a fine addition to the rom-com genre and definitely worth the time spent. Above average.
I had never heard of this film. This film kinda reminded me of He Is Not That Into You. Like in that movie(HINTIY), Min-jun is not relationship savvy. She tries her best,but the harder she tries, it just seems to push them away. In comes Mr Robin Heiden who is not so nice in giving her unwanted advice in all things she is doing wrong. I found this film funny, tender and the romance sprinkled through out the film in such a perfect way that each time those moments came, they took my breath away. I suggest that someone please write something more current for Daniel Henney(playing Robin Heiden in the film, he is such a delight to watch. I couldn't wait for this film to be over, just so that I could see it again ;-P
I really think the previous 2 reviewers must be related, paid endorsers or something of the kind.....To say that this film is "Fantastic" is really the overstatement of the year! It was so boring, I really, honestly struggled and pleaded with myself to get to the end of it, just because I hate leaving things unfinished. Very predictable, uninspired.... all bad things combined! I don't think it took more than 1 week to film.... The dialogue was probably written by a 5-year old! The greatest professional achievement of the female lead is that she tells a completely irrelevant story, out of the blue, so that she can "save" a business deal ?! and after that they all act like she should get the Nobel prize or something! seriously?! Daniel Henney cannot act to save his life! I always got the impression he didn't understand what he was replying to..... and it probably the case.... Uhm Jung-hwa is a very good actress, and it's a shame she didn't get the chance to show it. Complete waste of time!
