Dong-hyun, Seok-gu, Sang-min and Young-je are typical adolescent high school boys deeply curious about sexual matters. When a female apprentice teacher, Ms. Kim Yoo-ri (Kim Seon-ah) begins teaching at their all boys’ school, she captures the lust and imagination of four of her students, who cannot stop fantasizing about her.

Dong-hyun’s secret 'love' for his teacher is shattered by news of her affections for another teacher Mr Gong (Lee Beom-soo). Yoo-ri has already fallen for the homeroom teacher, Mr Gong, and has her own daydreams about what it would be like with him.

Unfortunately, Mr Gong has forsaken love in his life, and is immune to her come-ons. Yoo-ri must get him to accept her advances, while rejecting the rapid-fire advance of her four students.

LOL! Okay, this wasn't the best Kim Seon-a movie ever but then again this was probably one of her first. She is definitely young in this movie. So this wasn't her typical "I love Lucy" comedy she usually pulls out of her hat. In actuality, the funny stuff wasn't even from her but from the four male students in her class.

This could be considered the Korean version of the American Pie fame. Boys, adolescence, sexuality, and porn. LOL! The boys themselves had me laughing so hard from fingering melons, rubbing their "units" on poles at the playground, to "rooting" bowls of instant ramen. OMG! What a riot.

I even have to say the ending was awesome but a little farfetched. Let's just say I thought the question the male teacher asked the student teacher was too much since they really never dated. But hey.....it was a romance and you have to admit that most of us would have sighed and said "aaahhhhh".

Thumbs up on a Korean classic for all countries, makes, and models. You don't have to be Korean to understand and remember youth...................
