Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
The dicey romantic exploits of über-clueless Geon-Woo continue as he squirms beneath the heel of his unnamed paramour, the "sassy girl" of the title. The poor guy is willing to do just about anything to please this unpredictable, bossy beauty (much to the dismay of his friends), and the story simply follows the pair from one misadventure to another. This volume focuses on a bizarre visit to a "past life" hypnotist, an outing to a shopping mall in a quest for sexy outfits, and an amusing attempt at setting up the sassy girl's "hot friends" with dates. The series is fairly amusing, with simple cartoony art that relies on color to give it a finished quality and a very pleasant visual charm, but there is very little to set it apart from the growing number of imported Asian comics. However, one sequence stands out and has no bearing on the rest of the volume: a hilariously tasteless bit in which Geon-Woo suffers the unexpected aftermath of indulging in rich foods and devises a creative solution to the lack of an available toilet. After nature takes its course, Geon-Woo is robbed by a pair of motorcycle hoodlums, and what happens to the criminals will either have readers laughing until their ribs ache or flinging the book away in disgust.

From Booklist
Gr. 11-up. In this inspired Korean graphic novel, based on a Korean anime movie, college-age Geon-woo meets a strange and exceedingly sassy young woman who yearns for him one moment and treats him with hostility the next. Geon-woo's psychic tribulations and peaks of infatuation are depicted in hilarious detail as he morphs from suave guy to blithering toddler in response to the girl's demands and egregiously mean tricks. Gross humor abounds, and although Geon-woo clearly feels more than his fair share of carnal desire and disgust for the crazy girl, he never takes advantage of her, no matter how tempting her antics. The narrative flows seamlessly among the captioned thoughts, and the artwork, replete with manga-derived angles and vantage points, is beautifully colored to show off anger-reddened faces, European hair colors, gaudy modern streets, and crowded subways. Readers will sympathize with Geon-woo as they wait to see what shenanigans his sassy girl will pull next. Francisca Goldsmith
