SYNOPSIS by Marci: After
being dumped by her boyfriend just before their 100 day anniversary,
Ha-Young (Ha Ji-Won) meets a college guy named Hyung-Joon
when she accidentally kicks a can that hits him in the face
and causes him to scratch his Lexus. He demands she pay him
$3000 on the spot. She escapes from him, leaving her wallet
behind.
Hyung-Joon stalks her, demanding money to pay for his car.
Since she is a poor high school student Hyung-Joon writes
up a "Enslavement Agreement" for Ha-Young in order
to pay for the damage to his car. Ha-Young is thrown into
a nightmarish slave life for 100 days, cleaning his house,
running his errands, doing his homework and cleaning his car.
By accident she finds out that the damage to Hyung-Joon's
car only costs $10! She then takes her revenge. However, before
she knows it Hyung-Joon shows up at her house as her new tutor!
He once again takes advantage of her, but soon Ha-Young finds
herself falling head over heels for Hyung-Joon. But what happens
when he drops out of her life just when she needs him most?
REVIEWS:
KOREANCRAZEE
I've haven't seen Ha Ji-won this funnier before. I know she
has talent in comedy but after seeing her perform in 100 days,
I'm more convinced that she really knows her way to laughter.
What's so amusing about her is how she stands out regardless
who she is being paired with. It only proves that her performance
is not affected by chemistry or her partner's versatility.
She could even carry it solo without a doubt. She did it in
this film, right? Kim Jae-won's portrayal wasn't so applauding.
He could be arrogant but not that convincing. It seems so
amateur.
100 Days is a very cute film. The dream sequences are so
funny that I can't stop smiling especially when Ji-won's character
gets pissed off. Although I find it enjoyable when I see them
fight, when it comes to romance, I don't see their chemistry.

I loved Ha Ji-Won in this movie! She was great!
But the fact that her character would even fall for a jerk
like Hyung-joon is not believable. He was only truly nice
to her about twice in the movie! He treated her like trash
and in return she did everything for him, including give him
her heart! I was disappointed. I would also like to point
out that despite how they made him seem in the movie, Hyung-Joon
was not that attractive at all. I think they were trying to
use that as a distraction or excuse for his behavior. Didn't
work for me. I do have one good thing to say about the movie
as a whole...I couldn't stop laughing. Yes, Hyung-Joon was
a jerk, but the way he and Ha-Young treated each other was
hilarious! Sadly, however this wasn't enough to make this
movie really as good as I was hoping it would be.
