Cute movie, with random bits

I was a big fan of My Tutor Friend so when a friend told me of a 2nd one I had to watch. One of the things I loved about the first were the scenarios the girl would have, whereas in this movie, there is just one or two. However it definitely has some laugh out loud scenes and trademark Korean wacky.

Junko is from Japan and has traveled to Korea as an exchange student, following a boy. She arrives at a Korean guest house where the owner gives her his son Jomgman's room to stay. This leads Junko to pack her bags. Jongman finds out her reason for coming to Korea and tricks her into staying by saying he knows the boy she is looking for. Meanhile her father also bargains with her to stay by forcing his son to give her Korean lessons. In retaliation Jongman tricks Junko into humiliating situations, due to her lack of knowledge on Korean slang.

Jongman also has a secret which leads him to have random phone calls and leave mysteriously. The supporting cast of characters are funny, with the token white guy George from France who seems to love eating, the two best friends of Jongman who get into compromising situations, the crazy dad etc.

Overall this film fell into clichés but still managed to be random and weird. The plot wasn't completely smooth,and it had a fair few holes in it but the cast was funny enough that it was enjoyable. There is also some drama and sad parts and a triumphant climax ending before an ending but its a little mediocre. Its quite an innocent romance overall, but I do like the cute ending.
