Genre: Comedy
Description:
The tutor is Choi Su-weon , a homely
21-year old English major who gives private lessons to high schoolers to
cover her college tuition. Unfortunately, it is not the easiest way to
earn a living. She quits her most recent teaching job after being
sexually harassed by a couple of twelve-year olds, and reluctantly
accepts an offer to tutor a high school student, a referral from one of
her mother's rich friends. And as alluded to by the film's Korean title,
Su-weon's new charge, Kim Ji-hun , is the same age as her, having failed
the same grade twice.
As in any romantic comedy, Su-weon and
Ji-hun are like oil and water at first. Ji-hun is a spoiled brat who has
been brought back to Korea by his stern dad after screwing up while
studying overseas. Unfortunately, it seems the experience has not
changed his outlook, as he would rather sneak out and hang around with
his airhead girlfriend Ho-kyung than hit the books with Su-weon.
Furthermore, because she is the same age, Ji-hun shows little respect
for his tutor by not showing up for lessons or insultingly referring to
her as 'country chick'. But as determined as Ji-hun is to send away his
unwanted tutor, Su-weon is equally unwavering in her attempts to break
through his pigheadedness.
