I absolutely love this movie!! It was the very, very first Korean movie I had ever seen in my life back in 2003 and the only reason why I started watching other Korean movies. I mean imagine if I had started out watching Oldboy. I don’t think I would have been that keen to watch anything else after that It’s a fantastic movie just makes me a feel a bit… vomitty… Ooh that’s a good word to remember.

SO! “My Tutor Friend”, was based on an online story, just like My Sassy Girl and is the work of then first time director Kim Kyeong-Hyeong. In fact, when it was released in 2003, it was supposed to be the sequel to My Sassy Girl. The world “sequel” being used loosely by the Korean movie industry as a whole I suppose, going by the fact that both movies aren’t connected in anyway character wise, the same way My Tutor Friend has nothing to do with My Tutor Friend 2, and The Vengeance Trilogy aren’t related. I guess there is a sort of similaritiness (you know I use so many made up words sometimes I really don’t remember if they’re real anymore… I doubt that one is x_X) between the movies in that they’re both romantic comedies, there’s a boy and a girl, and someone is always being mean to someone else. In this case, the girl isn’t a scary psycho and the guy is the meanie.

This movie is unbelievably cute, and very Korean!! A lot of “you want to die?!” and glaring and sneering and beautiful people with amazing bodies (omg Kwon Sang Woo I fangirl you ^^) as well as the trademark Korean playing-with-time-and-space-continuum thing. I dunno aboot you, but I totally highly recommend this shiat
