Just read about this new movie on the Korea Herald website. Wonder why it took so long for a movie like this to come out? Wonder what the female Aussie teachers will think? |
The adopted sister angle. Yawn. Gratuitous. If only they'd pay attention to the real problem facing adoptees in Korea.
The rest sound sweet, but I will remain suspicious until I see it, namely because Korean cinema's writers and directors tend to portray foreigners as if they never really know any, personally.
Cheers,
Joe |

| I wonder if this will be shown entirely in Korean, or have subtitles? |

I can't wait for this to come out on DVD. I would love to gather a bunch of us together, pile into a DVD Room and see it for ourselves. I'm looking forward to how they portray the hagwan/conversation environement. They already threw in the "zoo/Jew" joke in the article.
Just one question about the plot. WHY is the Australian girl in love with a pizza delivery guy? I'm not being classist, it's just that whenever I talk to a pizza delivery guy, the conversation obviously isn't much. Does the Australian teacher know much Korean?
And with the Korean guy in "love" with his teacher, you can guess where this movie's plot will go, especially with the "nerdy" Korean girl student in the mix. She'll just take off her glasses and va va va voom. 
The day we see a Korean guy end up with a Western girl in a movie is the day the sun will turn black.
Anyways, if you're lucky enough to see the movie in the theaters, drop a review in here. I'm very intrigued to see what others think. |

Another Korean film with a brief hagwon bit is HAPPY END.

As a former pizza delivery guy, I can vouch that they get a lot of attention. They face dangerous traffic and keep their promise to arrive, they bring a gift, and then they depart with a promise to return again when called.
Same with carpet cleaners. All the women.
I wish I could say I was kidding. |

TAKE THAT! Cathy heads off with a Chooncheong dialect boy! That's me, BOO--Ya!
Ok, other than that, I am sure to stage protests in front of this female cracker's house for everything she did/did not do in the film.
Then slit the directors gonads....no way in hakwon could they come close.
Shoosh,

Two questions for the women who read this board:
--do you usually go to work with 'peeping cleavage'?
--do you ever consider if your "honeyed words and tanned *beep* are conspiring to create the ultimate ethno-linguistic-sexual fantasy" in your male students?
Hi-
I never never go to school with cleavage showing. I'm in a college, and it wouldn't be acceptable. The boys- young men- are the least of my worries actually, it is the ladies, who notice every stitch of clothing that I wear and that are my harshest critics.
My male students are smartasses, they think that by writing a lousy report and than by adding the sentence- Teacher you are pretty will get them an A. I had to laugh at that.
Actually the problem is more with Korean older men, especially colleagues, and supervisors they stare embarassingly so. Cleavage isn't needed- they always stare.
That movie looks funny. I can't wait to see it.
wonder what the other ladies have experienced.
cheers.

| Well after all this is a movie, so I guess the potrayal of the teacher wouldn't be realistic. I wonder if she gets mistaken for a Russian hooker in the movie? |

You bet, and I's has gots it down!!
Actually, Koreans (especially females) find it humourous...as how would a cracker know this dialect? They say it's so cute, and ask me to say 'X.'
Yeah, they could be mocking me, but these are friends who never really heard me talk in Korean....so shocked when it comes out.
Oh, one person absolutely hates the dialect...one of my Korean teachers. I teach the other students how to speak this dialect....and it drives the professor batty....my others find it fun, and talk like it sometimes.
Shooshoo
