100 days with Mr. Arrogant (Naesarang ssagaji) is a Korean romantic comedy that I’d been meaning to watch for a long time, but I didn’t get around to it until last week. I know Kim Jae-won from the drama series Romance, but it was the first time I saw Ha Ji-won.

Ha Ji-won plays Kang Ha-yeong, a high-school senior who runs into Kim Jae-won’s character Lee Hyeong-jun when she, after having been dumped by her boyfriend, kicks a beer can down the street and causes a minor traffic accident where Hyeong-jun slightly damages his luxurious car. Since she doensn’t have any money he demands her to be his slave for 100 days to work off the debt.

The movie is funny and light hearted. Hyeong-jun is a real jerk and Ha-yeong tries to get back at him while still fulfilling their “slave” agreement. It’s also a “cozy” movie that leaves you feeling good.

I remember being a bit put off by a similar movie called My Boyfriend is Type B. In that movie the guy is just a total jerk and the girl just takes it and pines for him anyway. In “100 days” they’re both aware that it’s kind of a game and she gets back at him, which makes it funny instead of awful.

Ha Ji-won reminds me a little of Kim Ha-neul mixed with Erina Matsui (if you know who that is — a Japanese model).
