Jae-young Kwak’s third installment from his “My Sassy Girl” series is set to open in Japan on May 31st. The first installment (”My Sassy Girl”) was influential enough to bring Korean movies to a wider international audience, make main actors Gianna Jun & Tae-hyun Cha Pan-Asian stars, as well as spawn a U.S. remake and countless copy cat movies. The second installment, “Windstruck,” was nearly as successful, appealing especially to the Japanese audience. After Jae-young Kwak wrote the screenplay for his final installment, “Cyborg Girl,” he sat on the script for a few years waiting for the right time to bring it to the big screen. That right time came when Japanese company Amuse offered to finance and produce the movie. After a few re-writes, enlistment of A-list Japanese actors Haruka Ayase and Keiseke Koide, Cyborg Girl was brought to life.

In “Cyborg Girl,” Keisuke Koide plays Jiro, a lonely 20 year old student celebrating his birthday all by himself. He goes to a department store to buy himself a gift when he sees the girl. The girl appears in tattered clothes, tries on a new dress, then walks out without paying for the dress. Afterwards, the guy has a meal at a restaurant when the girl appears again. She tells him, “Today’s my birthday too.” They spend the rest of the day together, making Jiro’s 20th birthday his best ever. After that day the girl completely vanishes.

One year later, on Jiro’s 21st birthday, he celebrates his 21st birthday all alone again. That is until the girl appears again. Her appearance looks the same but her mood seems different. When they have a meal in a restaurant, gun fire suddenly erupts, with the girl saving the guy’s life. Jiro then learns something more shocking, the girl that saved his life is actually a cyborg, sent by his future self to save his life in the present day. The couple then starts living together.

Cyborg Girl follows him wherever he goes. It doesn’t take long for the guy to fall in love with Cyborg Girl, but the girl, capable of a limited range of emotions, doesn’t understand the concept of love. The guy makes the painful decision to leave her because of this. Once again living a lonely life, an earthquake occurs. Cyborg Girl appears again to save his life. She then starts to have feelings like a human being ….

I watched this yesterday in the HK theatres.

( takes them a while to sub and such.)

Definitely recommend it.

It's really touching & has its funny moments.

For some reason in some scenes Jiro reminds me of Park Yoochun.

Haha, but of course Yoochun is cuter, lol!

This is NOT a remake of "I'm a Cyborg but it's ok." To me it's way better, "I'm a Cyborb but it's ok" was kindda weird for my taste. But this one is more of a love story. I definately recommend this movie to anyone. I haven't seen any good movie for awhile and I'm glad I decide to watch it. I still can't get over how beautiful Ayase Haruka is, a stunning actress indeed. And Keisuke Koide did a great job as well (I still can't believe he was Masumi-chan from Nodame LOL).
