i don't get it...some ppl said that 'my girl and i' is flopped..n by the meaning of this..i thought its a failure...but im having difficulty accepting its a total failure..i know its her first movie but it can't be that bad..please define me fully about those who say its a flopped...does it actualy means it didn't reach the box office?..or it reached the box office but fail to reach ppl's high expectation?...or did it fail?...

many say it doesn't do good...but i remember reading this article....
"My Girl and I" has been of help toward obtaining excellent result in expanding Korean movies to abroad.
The movie was sold in US$4 million at the American Film Market that was held from Nov. 2 to 11 in Santa Monica, California.
it attracted big interest as Cha Tae-hyeon and Hallyu star Song Hye-kyo, who appears first in the screen after her debut, were cast together. It is meaningful to get a fruitful result although the film was presented with a 50%-finished promotion work at AFM.
The countries to be made contracts are: Japan (Warner Brothers), Hong Kong, Macao (Celestial Pictures), Singapore (Festive Films), Thailand (Box Office Entertainment), Taiwan (Flash Forward Entertainment), Indonesia and Vietnam (Vietnam Media). So it covers most Asian nations and the total contract price is US$ 4 million which exceeds much more than its production cost.
It records the first Korean movie which gets interest even before it's screening. It is anticipated to be exported to the whole Asia. It is under discussion with Malaysia, India and China as well.
"At first, most buyers were in doubt as they had preconception that it was already made in Japan and it could not be 'better than the original. However, 'Parang Love' - "My Girl and I" has more dramatic structure with beautiful image of Korea than the original, so the buyers changed mind to make contracts on the ground. Hallyu star Song Hye-kyo's popularity played a big role as well", added he.
Warner Brothers in charge of distributing revealed his expectation, "The Korean re-interpretation is magnificent. We are confident to make a great success in Japan. The movie has a fresh attraction with beautiful image and two well-acted main players' purity".
