See, while Sassy Girl got me halfway through (I was all sniffly at the end), I really couldn't stand Windstruck. There's just something about that ditzy, cloyingly gooey cuteness Koreans find desirable traits in women that makes me want to strangle something.
While I've not watched the COLCW movie or dorama, I have read the novel in Japanese, and while it had some striking imagery in one or two spots, I found it as pointless and impressionless as you did. If you don't mind putting spoilers in your comments, what happened in the flick after the girl died? I've heard there are some pretty fundamental differences between the novel and the spinoffs, so I'm curious.
