I don't think she's capable of pulling it off.....i mean after watching how JJH did it, it be pretty hard for someone else to play the role just as good

I don't recall seeing her in "Nana", but she played the role of 'Alice' in Iwai Shunji's "Hana and Alice".

I also don't think anyone can surpass Ms. Jeon in the role of the Sassy Girl. However I have a lot respect for Aoi Yu's acting and wouldn't mind seeing how she measures up to the standard. Note that the Japanese version of MSG is going to be a drama, thus giving Aoi an advantage in playing out the role in more detail.

I'm so looking forward to these two - the former because I'm a hard-core Ms. Ueno fan and the latter because of all the food.

WHY...
The movie wasn't that great..
it was funny and fun to watch
but I guess it would be fun to see a Japanese version

jade_frost - whoops, it was on the other page. I didnt see

for me the movie was one of the best...and happy to see a Japanese Version! and I love Yu Aoi...

I agree. My Sassy Girl was very funny, and quite clever, with a number of neat little details and subtleties thrown in by the director. Worth watching a few times.

Please note that the use of the descriptive 'Jap' is considered insulting in this forum. Kindly refrain from using it again.

MSG is definitely my all time favourite. I stopped counting after rewatching for the 100th time.

100! Wow.

I can't imagine anyone not liking it. Maybe if they don't like the rom-com genre. But it's really one of the best Asian rom-com's ever. I'm sure most would agree.

I watched MSG in cinemas for 11 times. On the last time I bought my wife along. She enjoyed the movie but did not understand my enthusiasm.
