My Tutor Friend 2

My Tutor Friend 2 Synopsis (from http://www.koreanfilm.or.kr)
Junko, a Japanese of Korean ancestry, comes to Korea to find her sweetheart. She finds lodging at a guest house that provides room and board. Unfortunately, the room that she is supposed to stay in belongs to the owner’s son, Jong-man. On her first night in Seoul, Junko is forced to share the room with Jong-man. Junko wants to find another place, but the owner desires to keep Junko as a guest and offers Junko free Korean lessons from Jong-man. It is going to be some adventure for Junko in Seoul!


My comments:
It’s called My Tutor Friend 2 but it has no connection to the first one starring Kwon Sang Woo. I had a good time watching the first although deep down I found it lame and stupid and I enjoyed watching Gong Yoo more than Kwon Sang Woo…Anyway, back to My Tutor Friend 2, I still found it lame and stupid but I like it more than the first one overall. I thought that the love relationship between the leads was pretty sweet at the end and it was believable. The side characters were mostly annoying but not to the point of killing the movie. It’s just weird that the movie is called My Tutor Friend 2 but it didn’t have that many tutoring scenes. Finally, the movie poster doesn’t do this movie justice! Lee Chung Ah is a cute girl but why make her look like this in the poster is a big mystery to me. She’s absolutely not like this in the movie…

hi, thanks for "my tutor friend". i watched it recently, and it's not as stupid as i thought it'd be. gong yoo was the one who played the school gang leader, right? yeah, he was quite funny and more entertaining than the lead.

ah, so you like the second movie more? i will have to check it out then...
