“A super-cool handsome guy is dating me! But his blood type is “B”… wth!”

Ha-mi (Han Ji-Hye) is a college student who believes in predestined love. One day she meets Young-bin (Lee Dong-Gun) on the street after some phone confusion and instantly feels that he is the one. However, Young-bin is such a heartthrob and his blood type is “B”, which is believed as the must-avoid type by many women! Yup, it’s based on some studies by her cousin sister on the wacky notion that a person’s blood type determines one’s personality and consequently one’s compatibility with the opposite sex.

I want to warn you guys, if your blood type is B, I would suggest that you just forgo this movie and let your girl to watch it with her friends. In this movie, type B boyfriends are labelled to creative (that’s good) but they are very selfish, egotistical and moody. You may end up like one of the scenes when you just drag your girl out of the cinema. Haha. Well, I know I shouldn’t have watched. But I want to know how does a type B boyfriend behaves. :P Also, this movie has a lot of ways to move your girl’s heart.

Anyway after the movie, I searched the web and found that there are actually studies conducted on how bloog type determine someone’s character. (Really!!) Based on studies from a japanese researcher Takeji Furukawa (1927), he assigned character traits to each blood group as follows:

Type O — calm, patient, in control of their emotions, strong-willed, unyielding and full of self-confidence despite a quiet appearance.

Type A — reserved, mild-mannered, full of worry, indecisive, cautious, deeply moved by things, uncombative and self-sacrificing.

Type B — cheerful, independent, light-hearted, talkative, sensitive, sociable, caring and flamboyant.

Type AB — Group B on the outside, but group A on the inside.

Afraid of your friends or employers might labelled you like in the movie based on blood type? Not to worry, no scientific proof to support any of these beliefs.

Storyline is interesting because of how they labelled people with blood type. So, feel like watching the movie now?
