If you loved Lovely Rivals, try My Teacher, Mr. Kim
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Jang Kyu-sung, and they sit in Comedy territory. If that's the register that drew you to Lovely Rivals, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What My Teacher, Mr. Kim is
Here's a film about small ambitions spiraling into larger, unforeseen consequences. A teacher schemes to transfer from his rural school by any means necessary. He inadvertently transforms it into a top-ranked institution. Mr. Kim inadvertently learns a lesson himself, probably.
