If "Windstruck" is the sequel to "My Sassy Girl", it's more like how "St. Elmo's Fire" is a sequel to "The Breakfast Club", not like how "Casino" was the sequel to "Goodfellas." Jeon Ji-hyun is pretty as usual. Plot is present, but lacking humor or anything to set it apart from others in it's genre. Lack of chemistry between the leads can be cause along with a reason to care for what happens. Some jokes do end up being funny, but then you wonder whether it's really funny or because the previous moments were so dull that made it funny in comparison. Or whether the silence was used to set up the joke. Either ways there are some nice moments. Not too frequent, but you could string them together in a custom music video if that's your hobby. The talked about ending is not as monumental as the ending of "Fast and Furious 3," but it's up there. |
