My girl (2005) asks me Questions
My Girl (2005) with a cast of Lee Dong Wook, Lee Da Hae etc bears a lot of likeness in plot to Goong (2006) with a cast of Yoon Eun Hye, Joo Ji Hoon etc.
In summary, both depict the lead female character having a hard time with monetary matters, and the lead male character, initially not in anyway emotional-linked to her, helping her out. Eventually, both fell in love. Both tell of the entanglement of 4 persons in this relationship with the 'good guy, not loved' second male character hurt from heartbreak and the second female character trying to break the couple up. The couple was then separated with the gal being sent to exile but was eventually blessed after multiple adversaries.
Coincidence?
However, My Girl (2005) should be praised for its handling of the storyline revolving around lies and pranks. This is especially powerful in the end as "the lies told, in turn, express the true feelings and love between 2".
Then, this leads to one last question: Why is the title not called "Lies" or "The girl who cried wolf" but "My Girl"? This is one I never understand.
