"You clearly were not paying attention to the movie.
Until Li told her, Jennie didn't know that the person looking after her after she was blinded was the same person that blinded her. Her not knowing this allowed an opportunity for her to get to know him.
Jong did not trick her into falling in love with him. There is nothing of the sort in the movie. He simply felt terrible for what happened to her because she was at the wrong place and the wrong time and it was his mistake that lead to her being blind. "
Not sure why you think I wasn't paying attention.
I'm not saying he intentionally set out to trick her into falling in love with him. He of course wasn't some devious, dishonest jerkass like that. HOWEVER, he knew full well that IF she knew who he was, she wouldn't want him around her, and thus he deliberately withheld his true identity. He grew close to her by deceiving her as to who he really was. In a way, he did in fact trick her into falling for him, even if that wasn't his intention initially.
Once Jennie found out that this person who was looking after her, who she grew SOOOOOO close with, was in fact the man who blinded her, it would make sense for her to be pissed. It would make sense for her to be shocked, to be furious, to be hurt, confused, SOMETHING. Some sort of confrontation would/SHOULD take place. But it doesn't. We get nothing. The entire thing is bizarrely shrugged off as if it were no big deal. We're seriously to believe Jennie has NO strong feelings about this? She doesn't care at all that the man who blinded her(a man she was TERRIFIED of) has snuck back into her life and gotten this close to her without her knowledge? How can you not see that this is a MASSIVE flaw in the movies story?
"Considering how inaccurate you recalled events in this movie, it is clear that it's not the film that is dumb."
You somehow must have misinterpreted what I said, cuz at no point did I recall the movies events innaccurately.
"s proven above by me, the only hole here is in your attention span"
You shouldn't throw around absurd, dimwitted, baseless insults when its your reading comprehension that should be called into question.

"There is no way to "trick" someone into doing something unintentionally. When someone is tricked to do something by someone else it was with intent. "
Fine, he MISLED her into allowing him into her life. Is that better? My point remains the same. No reason to get all hung up over semantics. Either way he betrayed her trust. What matters is he inserted himself back into her life under false pretenses, she fell for him under false pretenses. She should be bothered by that on SOME level. It at the very least deserves to be addressed. The movie fails to do so. That is a big problem.
"and the movie does a thorough job of developing the kind of character Jennie is."
Hardly.
BTW, "ah jong selflessly took care of her so she loves him" hardly makes it believable for her to not care whatsoever about who he really is or that he blinded her/misled her.
"Jong did not hide who he was to her because he wanted her to fall in love with him or ever went out of his way to deceive her so that she could fall in love with him. Jong felt terrible what happened to her because she was at the wrong place at the wrong time and he made a mistake that cost her sight to be taken away.
The only intent he had was to right a wrong that he did and he could not accomplish that by telling her who he was. It was only through the course of him taking care of her that love blossomed. It was not the intent it just happened. "
Again, please stop summarizing the movies plot. Completely unnecessary.
