More Asian movies

This morning, I polished off 2 more movies:

• Every Dog Has His Date (完美情人): [From the back:] A beautiful career woman Sharon lives together w/ her lovely dog Man. In an accident, Man exchanges body w/ a worker & becomes a human. Unaware of the unbelievable incident, Sharon simply rejects Man to come close. Disappointingly, Man helps a veterinarian to win the love of Sharon, but he finds himself also fall for his master.

  Here's my version of this blurb, but w/ added adjectives & stuff...

  Sharon, a single career woman who works in some kinda studio (who falls easily for a pretty face but is unlucky in love) lives w/ her faithful Golden Retriever named "Man" (who she had since a puppy). In a freak accident involving a pond and electricity during a storm, Man & an unsavory prop employee of Sharon's named Fai exchange minds/bodies. Even though he's in Fai's body, Sharon rejects Man 'cuz of his doggy behavior, but eventually he cleans up some of his act to become more human (he's still able to converse w/ animals) and becomes friends with Sharon. Man helps some stalker/horny vet to try and date Sharon by faking love poems but Man soon discovers that he can't stand the human scent of other women, and is aroused only by Sharon's scent. So there's some kinda sumtin' sumtin' b/w Sharon & Man, but Man decides he'd best return to being a dog, and when Fai-in-Man's-doggy-body returns from being lost/adventuring across China, Man tries to recreate the accident to return each to their former bodies...

  Like most HK movies, kinda campy. They don't really hook up in the end though. I guess it'd be weird. I think I liked the next movie better...



• My Tutor Friend: A Korean flick. [From the back:] Su-wan works as a part-time tutor to cover her college tuition. Tutoring is a tough job, especially when she meets the impossible, the unconquerable & the un-reformable Ji-hoon. Although they're @ the same age, Ji-hoon's repeating his senior year for the 3rd time. He's also a well-konwon fighter & kind of troublemakers @ school. Their lessons begin, and from then on, things started happening 1 after another.

  It's pretty formulaic: Characters with predictable roles, a predictable story, but fun to watch anyway. And yeah, not as campy as them Chinese movies, but still plenty of violence. I like how Ji-hoon's father is more bad-ass than he is, heh heh.
