This story and Lee Je Hoon's acting brought tears to my eyes! He well deserved the best actor award for this.
Of course this is based on a true story but I don't think the true story gonna be like this, if you ever watch a lot of korean movie, you will notice their favourite theme, such as gangster, cute love story, harsh out of place behaviour, slapstick comedy that is only can be found in South Korea Cinema. I love this movie, they did their job really well in realizing this. How they alter the story to be completely suit with all that theme. They don't really need a lot of CGI to make their movie, they just have a lot of story to tell us.Maybe their country not produce a lot of movie every year, but its show that quality is better than quantity. Just watchout for every korean movie. They are far better than states!
Name of the movie is MY PAPAROTTI. Its the mispronunciation of famous tenor Luciano Pavarotti. Movie is simply beautiful and inspiring. A Simple, Effective and Engaging film. "My Paparotti" is clearly a very standard and straight forward , never deviating much from teacher-student relationship. A boy who wants to become Tenor and a Teacher who is dedicated but not interested in teaching students of his class who seems to have no interest at all. I loved this movie because of 2 reasons:
1. Very straight forward approach towards the simple and real storyline. 2. Moments of comedy, action and poignancy.
A Must see film...Just don't miss it.

Sometimes, a supposedly to be great Korean movie was simply ruined by a screenplay full of clowns and jerks, horrible scenarios, moronic dialog, exaggerated over-the-top acting and worst of all, a director who didn't know how to make it great.
This Korean movie is just like that. For the singing part, I'll give it 10/10, acting 5/10, storyline 1/10, directing 5/10, supporting actors and roles 4/10. This movie could be one of the GOAT Korean movies if it didn't lean too much to the comedy side, making it more serious without too many jerk-like clowns. I have to fast forward to the more serious scenes of singing (sadly, there were only a few) to skip those ridiculous segments (sadly, there were too many). What a shameful waste!
