Windstruck stars Jeon Ji Hyun who plays a headstrong Policewoman on the streets of Korea. Girl meets Boy, Boy meets Girl, order and chaos ensues!
The film is frustrating because it has a lot of potential to be as good as My Sassy Girl. Both films incorporate comedy, romance, sci-fi and action but Windstruck does not pull it off seamlessly. This and some other faults mean that the film is not as enjoyable to watch, however where the film succeeds is the link to My Sassy Girl which is open to interpretation.
Pros - Very good cinematography, plot, and acting
Cons - Melodrama is over the top, editing and music score could be improved, lead characters need some more development
Overall - Given a bit more polish in the character and editing department + liberal sprinkling of magic, this could have been as good as MSG. Frustrating!!!

I like the last scene and think it's a necessary part of the film.
