Abstract:

From Kim Sung-Soo, director of the epic Musa: The Warrior, comes a decidedly different kind of film - the delightful, hilariously offbeat romantic comedy, Please Teach Me English! Lee Na-Young, star of Who Are You? and Someone Special, plays Young Ju, a cute, bespectacled public official who is forced to take English lessons, so at least one employee at the office is bilingual! After much hesitation, Young-Ju signs up for English lessons, and soon enough, the adventure begins! In the class, Young-Ju meets Cathy (Angela Kelly), the pretty teacher from Australia, as well as Moon Su ( Jang Hyuck of Volcano High), who takes on the English name Elvis, thanks to his ridiculously long sideburns. While Young-Ju (now rechristened "Candy") takes a liking to Elvis, it seems he's too busy making obvious passes at their teacher to care. But as shallow as Elvis seems, it turns out he's got a real reason for being in class. He has a sister who was put up for adoption and soon she'll be visiting both Elvis and his aged mother. Since his mother won't be able to communicate with the English speaking daughter, it's up to Elvis to learn the language before the three of them reunite. But when Candy misunderstands Elvis' reasons for learning English, will she give in to her jealousy and ruin everything? Or is their hope for this screwball couple? The answer to these questions and more await you in this wacky, intensely likable film! Thanks to a charming performance from the adorable Lee Na-Young, Please Teach Me English is one romantic comedy that goes straight to the head of the class! Please note: English subtitles are only available with the Cantonese/Mandarin dub tracks of this film, not the original Korean language track.
