Please Teach Me English</em> is a goofy insight about the romantic relationship between two people who fall in love with each other while in taking an English development course. Directed by the South Korean director Sung-su Kim (<i>Musa: The Warrior</i>), <i>Please Teach Me English</i> features a solid cast, a decent story, and lots of silly events to put a smile on your face. The film takes an approach where you do not have to think too hard about what's happening. When I first started the movie, I was not sure what to expect. The introduction was just so silly, I thought I was going to hate it. But I found once I got into the story, I couldn't stop laughing. The movie and its characters put a big smile on my face.
<p>The leading female character is Young-Ju Na (Na-young Lee). Young-Ju is a twenty-five year old girl who lives at home with her parents and brother. She works for the government as an entry-level civil service worker. She is a very geeky, acts weird, and says all the wrong things. Young-Ju dreams of the day she will meet her prince charming. Lee, who plays Young-Ju, does a fabulous job with her role. Her character is an overly neurotic, nerdy, and reserved, and Lee gives her character real personality. It is corny and over-the-top, but nonetheless fun.</p>
<p>The prince charming Young-Ju falls head over heels for is Moon-Su Park (Hyuk Jang). Moon-Su is the stud muffin. He is an attractive Korean guy with a sparkling personality and ego is a mile high. He considers himself a player and is always looking out for the pretty ladies. Conveniently enough, he works in a shopping center selling women's shoes. But while he sells shoes, he is no Al Bundy. His mother is played by Mun-hee Na and she works at the shopping center as a cleaning lady |
