My Prattle: 
I watched this movie just a few days back. It turned out to be a bit different from what I imagined it would be, but was pretty good. Its a romantic comedy based around the premise of how a person's character can be determined based on their blood group and how they fit in a relationship with people of the other blood types. This is a story of two completely different personalities, and apparently of different and incompatible blood types, leading to some hilariously awkward scenes. It was a good mix of romance and comedy.

The cast was good. Everyone was perfect for their roles. Lee Dong Geun did an amazing job at portraying Young Bin, as the insufferably callous type B one second and the caring, doting lover the next. Han Ji Hye as Ha Mi was sweet, cute and naive.

When Young Bin acts impossibly selfish and self centered, it'll definitely make us think, "ugh, who would put up with all that", but the next second he does something so sweet and romantic that, we cant help going "aww...". So in short it was a sweet, cute and funny love story. Yeah, it was a bit unpredictable, making it all the more entertaining.
