PodBill Just what I expected

Mjeteconer Just perfect...

Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

Borserie it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

dbborroughs I became aware of this film because it's playing at the 2010 New York Asian Film Festival. It sounded sweet, but because the time it plays didn't work for me I picked it up on import DVD. I'm glad I did since this is one of the more heart warming and funny films I've seen this year.The plot has a radio talk show host finding out that the young mother he's been using for fodder on his radio show is actually his. Complications naturally ensue, especially since she's entered in the station music contest.Yes, the plot has been done before, especially in Hollywood where films like this have been a staple for decades. The key here is that even though the you know the plot and its variations, you really don't care because the filmmakers have given us characters and situations that really work. We genuinely like everyone and because of it we happily buy everything thats going on.Best of all the comedy is genuinely funny. (and the music is great) I love this film. That this hasn't been released in the US is a shame because its a great comedy.A must see.

KineticSeoul I can tell why this film was such a big hit in Korea, it has a lot of elements that Asian audiences love to watch especially it's humor. The Korean humor of it fit right in with the movie, and although Korea really isn't known for making great comedies, this one really worked. And it's mix of funny, sad and touching moments kept me entertained throughout the whole film and although there is quite a bit of singing in this, it was well done as well, but wished they took the stuff about the kid in the story being a prodigy at playing cards, playing the piano, and etc in order to be likable. I also though the part of Cha Tae-Hyun singing in order to impress the teacher to be lame and not necessary, maybe it's cause he just doesn't have the charisma or cause he is just not a likable character. Anyways, nothing about this movie seemed really forced even the dramatic moments and the comedy worked fine as well. So any one who is into Korean movies, I recommend you check it out even if some of the Korean humor is difficult to understand for some.7.9/10

GemMoth This movie caught my attention when I saw that Tae-hyun Cha was playing in it and that it was a success in Korea last year. Tae-hyun Cha is the lead actor that you may have seen in My Sassy Girl.I wanted to laugh like I laugh when I saw My Sassy Girl. Well I didn't happen. Don't get me wrong Scandal Makers is fun. I wanted to see something very similar to My Sassy Girl, I couldn't be satisfied with such expectations. Don't run away from the movie. You may like it because it's a family movie. The screenplay is good maybe even better than My Sassy Girl's. The subject isn't the same. Scandal Makers is more about family, it's more mature. Because the main character is simply older (about 35). I just like better the silliness of My Sassy Girl.

palewook Able to humor an audience even though there is a cultural gap for non-Korean viewers. Manages a couple of laugh out loud moments in a mostly G-rated family oriented film. If you have no problems with subtitles or situational comedies, this movie is worth your time.The film stays away from preaching its value set. Rather spending the 108 minutes of run time on the situations that have been created out of the characters choices.Tae-hyun Cha creates a solid performance. In a role that could have been an unlikeable character, yet he keeps the main character fun. Bo-yeong Park plays her role down the middle. A solid performance from the side-kick role, Ji-ru Sung appears to steal every scene he is a part of.
