Seducing Mr. Perfect is a 2006 South Korean romantic-comedy starring Daniel Henney and Uhm Jung-hwa. The premise is Uhm Jung-hwa is a businesswoman named Min Joo who discovers she has a new American boss after she is dumped by her boyfriend and accidentally hits someone's car.
Daniel Henney plays Robin Heiden who can can understand Korean but finds it a pain to speak it. Robin is a man who doesnt take dating too seriously and he even coaches Min Joo on how to get a man and without him knowing she falls in love with him using everything he taught her to try to get Robin.
It is nice to see that Daniel who is half Korean be treated as an equal on screen. It would be extremely difficult for him to secure the romantic lead in an Hollywood movie. Daniel was able to act well at times but he needed some improvement. He seems to enjoy it at least and had some real chemistry with Uhm. It was nice to see a Korean movie with a lot of English in it, weird as it sounds. It made his role of Robin easier to understand and to relate to. He may not have been the best actor but he proves that he can take the lead.
