Jillibean Sep 17 2025 11:51 pm I saw this when it originally premiered and later watched it again on the old Dramafever before they shut down in 2018. I think the acting was actually better than the script, the leads and supporting cast were all excellent. It's a funny movie but with a touch of sadness too. If you like classic Korean films don't miss it.

Malditang Bugay Mar 06 2016 8:42 am The acting was really great and the cast fit their characters well. The only thing was I really hated the female character. She was too annoying. Anyways good pass time movie with some laughs. Pretty much I watched this movie for Jang Hyuk.

monica Jan 17 2015 4:06 am what is the name of moon soo sister ????

maria Mar 30 2013 4:25 pm My first introduction to Jang Hyuk was in Chuno, a 2010 T.V. drama. I've been trying to follow his acting career ever since. While waiting to see weekly installments of Iris 2, I happened to find this gem of a movie. It reafirms my belief that JH is truly a dynamic actor. I love every role he plays. I never get tired of his performances, and he always brings something new and interesting. JH is one of the greatest Korean actors of this generation! Aja Aja! Fighting!

Mayakho Jun 26 2012 3:55 am This movies is great. Funny overload. I remember, i was like rotf when all of the class member back with hoarseness..hahahaa

NewKDramaAddict Dec 29 2011 3:32 pm First comedy with Jang Hyuk I have ever seen. I laughed at a few really funny moments! The dreams were funny!

alicia Jun 25 2011 2:08 pm Funny movie! My boyfriend and I thought it was hilarious!

Ki Feb 11 2011 10:55 pm A seriously delightful comedy carried by the charismatic performances by the three main leads, Lee Na-Young (Young-Ju), Hyuk Jang (Moon-Su) and Angela Kelly (Catherine). Obviously the first thing that grabbed my interest was seeing the classroom setting and watching how the students would learn English. Angela Kelly was great as the English Teacher and her rudimentary Korean skills was cute. Lee Na-Young inevitably dominates the movie, no matter how hard the filmmakers tried to make her plain and ordinary, her charm seriously shined through every scene she was in (also some of her lines like "Time Over," "Elvis Never Stop!," "To Be Continued," and "Victoria…Mother hates you…Moon-Su hates..Everybody hates you!" were brilliant!). Please Teach Me English being a Korean comedy of course turned more serious, this time with the theme of a family reunion between an adopted Korean-American girl and her family. Also in the final subway scene, you will hear a great song called "Azalea Flower" sung by Maya. The song ratchets up the melodramatic flair of the subway scene by an infinite degree and provides the lead to a perfect movie ending. Check this one out….
