My Teacher, Mr. Kim

My Teacher, Mr. Kim Hangul RRSeonsaeng Kim Bongdu lit. Teacher Kim Bongdu is a 2003 South Korean comedydrama film about a mans transformation from a flawed scoundrel into a conscientious teacher when he gets transferred to a rural village school.

So Mr. Kim gets temporarily transferred to the boondocks, a branch school in a remote village in Gangwon Province. In the countryside, cell phones are useless and even buying cigarettes at the nearest corner store is out of the question. There are only five students in the whole school, and hes also discontented with the extremely naive villagers who offer him all sorts of vegetables and fruits instead of money. To make matters worse, a grumpy old man named Mr. Choi blackmails him into teaching him the Korean alphabet.Driven to near insanity by boredom and peace, Mr. Kim maps out a plan to transfer all of his students to Seoul, thereby closing down the rural school. For starters, Mr. Kim begins an afterschool program to focus on developing each students special talents so that theyll want to get a better education in Seoul. Contrary to his bad intentions, this results in a happy, supportive environment for the children and the village community, such that the school officials reconsider their policy of closing down the school because of Mr. Kims wonderful devotion to the kids. ........
