This time round, our hero Doo Sik (Jung Jun Ho) is a senior at college, where he is studying to become a teacher. During the day he works hard teaching morality and ethics, but at night continues to work as a gangster. He gets a placement at the local high school, working as a student teacher, but then trouble rises its ugly head. Always determined to keep him studying hard, Doo Sik's boss has also returned to high school to complete his own education. Now Doo Sik has to face his boss at school as well as at night!

I have to say this movie was a little better than the first which in reality most movies with continuations usually suck. This one, at first, started out quite stupid and boring and didn't make much sense but then finally once he started working at school......it was all uphill.

This one wasn't as funny, to me, at the first one. More serious dealing with trust and molestation from teachers. This one sort of made me mad. Not at the movie, but in general, how people with authority take advantage of children and abuse those rights. Just made me sick. I will say that once Do-sik beat the crap out of the "source" tears formed and from that point on it was a poignant movie. Okay, and there was one point at the end that just had me smile with tears. Very good movie. Very, very, very good.

When a young gang leader seems to be just a bit too stupid to effectively carry out his daily tasks--embarrassing his gang members and himself frequently--his superiors order him to go back to school for his high school diploma. Once situated in the school, posing as a 19-year-old, he soon learns that the school is even more corrupt and vicious a place to spend his days than in his gang. After he can't stand it any longer, he decides to stop playing "the innocent student" and unleashes his wrath on the place.


I really liked this movie...surprisingly. I am now officially going to watch the second one in a few hours. It was funny...hehe! I will say that it was a little hard for me to imagine Du-sik as 20 years old. His birthday is a year before mine......so in 2001 when this movie was produced he was 31! There is only so much make-up and cosmetics can hide.......

But if you looked past that, and just enjoyed the show, it could have been believable. LOL! A fun movie kids and adults would like.
