 Madeleine Movie Review by Anthony Leong from MediaCircus.net   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
Framed by soft music and sentimentality, "Madeleine" kicks off with the cute chance meeting between its twenty-something romantic leads, who have not seen each other since high school-- quiet college student Chi-suk (Jo In-seong) is an avid reader, while Hui-jin (Shin Min-a) is a bubbly hairstylist.
At the helm of "Madeleine" is the director of the 1998 fantasy-horror feature "The Soul Guardians (Toemarok)", Park Kwang-choon.
As a result, "Madeleine" feels like the awkward amalgamation of two other films, "My Sassy Girl (Yeopgijeogin geunyeo)" and "Sex is Zero (Saekjeuk shigong)", and it might as well have been called "My Sex is Zero Girl".

 [KFCC] Madeleine Review
Madeleine is a movie that just makes the audience happy.
If I had to compare this movie to another, it would have to be the one and only “My Sassy Girl.” Granted, it’s not a knock-off of that movie, the way the movie makes you feel about it’s characters is similar.
Sure it’s a drama and a romance, but that doesn’t mean that Madeleine is a movie for the ladies.
