My Boss, My Teacher (2006)

This movie was unexpectedly touching. I figured I'd watch this movie and get a few laughs, and that would be all it was good for. I was wrong. I actually teared up at one point.

The plot, for the first 3/4 of the movie, didn't really make me care. I was just in it for the laughs. However, in the last fourth, the plot picks up and becomes more meaningful. There are a lot of laughs in the movie. Don't get me wrong, it is a comedy, but there are a couple touching moments. Some plot points, though, seemed contrived just to induce a laugh. They had no meaning to the overall story, or if they did, I didn't catch that meaning.

Acting, for the most part, was fine. Since it is a comedy, and there were many comedic roles, they were acted comically which is what I expected. I watched this movie for Han Hyo Joo. She was great. HaHa (Ha Dong Hoon) was in this movie, too, which was a pleasant surprise. It wasn't hard for me to imagine him in this role, as I've seen him act similarly (sometimes) on Running Man.

I may watch this movie again, but I don't know. I enjoyed it, but I don't know if I can sit through this 2 hour movie again. Overall, I liked the movie, and would probably remember it but that's only because there was a moment that shocked me and literally made my mouth hang open. If you have 2 hours to kill and don't want to think too much, then this movie is great.

Because without education your good as nothing, I don’t know about how Korean runs there school but USA I haven’t heard anything bad about corrupt schools. So my guess is that yes there might be some countries that do run by corruption, I’m hoping that Korean isn’t one. There’s been a lot of dramas that school are run by corrupt, my best wishes and hope are for the kids that really want a bright future won’t face there kind of troubles. I recommend this drama for those who haven’t got there education, and wish they focus on there future. It’s never to late to get the education you need
