My Little Bride????!


I'm not sure what to say about this, but I want to say something. I keep watching it, repressing it, then watching it again.



From Wikipedia:

My Little Bride (어린 신부 eorin sinbu) is a Korean language romantic comedy film about an arranged marriage between a new teacher and a student. It was directed by Kim Ho Jun and was released in 2004. It was the second most popular Korean movie of 2004 in Korea, behind the blockbuster hit Taegukgi, with 3,149,500 visitors. It was 4th most popular among all films. [1]
[edit]Plot

Boeun (Moon Geun Young) is an ordinary high school girl who worries about grades and has a crush on her school's baseball team ace, Jungwoo. One day, Boeun's grandfather orders her to marry Sangmin (Kim Rae Won) because of a pact he made with Sangmin's grandfather during the Korean War. Despite the grandchildren's opposition, they are forced to marry because of Boeun's grandfather's strong influence. Boeun's undercover married life begins: She pretends that she doesn't have a husband and starts dating Jungwoo. Boeun believes that she can manage both men and live a double life. Everything goes smoothly until Sangmin visits Boeun's school as a student teacher.
Sangmin finds out about Jungwoo but decides not to make it an issue. Meanwhile, three school girls learn about Boeun and Sangmin's marriage, and decide to take it against Boeun because of their jealousy of her relationship with Jungwoo. They reveal the truth during a school festival, but Sangmin steps up and tells the audience that they should not deprive Boeun of being a normal school girl since it was not her will to marry him. Boeun then steps up to the stage and makes a heartfelt speech declaring her love for Sangmin. The film ends showing that Sangmin and Boeun living a happy marriage.

I think arranged marriages have got to be terrible for evolution. The whole natural selection thing is breaking down all over the place. Sometimes, I think humans have reached a high point and must now de-evolve. That would explain coupling and mating habits better. I think I'll write Darwin's sequel. I'll call it "Origin 2, Electric Boogaloo".
(did that sound extra stupid?)
