*My Tutor Friend* movie poster"My Tutor Friend" later became a a popular monthly printed comic series and from there, resulted in this movie.
If I were to sum this movie up in one sentence, it would be "Not-so-young spoilt rich brat unexpectedly falls in love with country bumpkin." Don't be misled by the movie poster above, though. There definitely wasn't a "Mike Tyson" situation.
Korean heart-throb Kwon Sang-woo
Kwon Sang-woo is Kim Ji-hoon, the spoilt rich brat recalled from America, who is two grades down, and still trying to complete high school at 21 years old.
Tuition time
Already a truckload of tuition teachers have given up on him, when Choi Su-wan (Kim Ha-Nuel), a second year university student majoring in English takes up the task at the insistence of her mother, to lessen the family's financial burden. Su-wan's job is to make Ji-hoon study for two hours a day for three months. And that pay will be enough for her fees for the new semester.
A posse of highschool airheads
As if being bullied and intimidated by Ji-hoon is not enough, she has to deal with Ji-hoon's airheaded high-school girlfriend who thinks Su-wan is out to hook up with Ji-hoon.
After running in to a lot of trouble and threatened to be deported to America by his father, Ji-hoon strikes a deal to score a minimum of 50 point average in the finals. That is a daunting task when his average has been 8 only all these while.
Choi Su-wan dancing in the annual festival
Even his tutor, Su-wan doesn't think he can do it, and bets to dance in the school's annual festival IF Ji-hoon can score above 50 points.
All's well ends well. Su-wan and Ji-hoon get together finally, after all the cat and dog fight. No tragic ending, thank god!
Trivia: Choi Su-wan's mummy was also the mummy of Kim Sam Soon in My Name is Kim Sam Soon and Nam Jung-eun in Attic Cat.
