Soggy, saggy, and sappy Customer Review Rated Bad 4 - 4 out of 10
"My Tutor Friend" is a ham-handed attempt at an overly familiar theme -- the blossoming of true love between two polar opposite personalities. Kim Ha Neul and Kwon Sang Woo do their best, but there are no surprises here. We've seen it all before and we've seen it done much better.

Much of the problem with this film is with the script. The movie feels as if it had been written by a committee. The story never flows naturally. Some of the transitions from scene to scene can be jarring and some scenes add nothing to the story. The growth of affection between the central characters is ridiculously contrived and unrealistic.

When one studies acting, one is taught that, in each scene (both in comedy and drama), you must find what your character is fighting for and the stakes for which you are fighting must be very high. For most of this film, the stakes for each character just never seem very important. Consequently, it is hard for the viewer to care.

Equally inept is the film's direction. The lighting in some of the scenes is bad; the cinematography never rises above the pedestrian; the editing is clumsy. Indeed, the only scenes which really come to life are Kwon Sang Woo's fight scenes, which actually are quite spectacular.

I had high expectations for "My Tutor Friend", but ended up greatly disappointed. I cannot recommend this movie.

One of my favorites Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
I really enjoyed this movie. The classic tough guy and nice girl. I love this actress. She is so cute and I love her facial expressions. She's very believable. Also the lead guy is a hunk!Very handsome and I really like how he falls in love with the lead girl. He comes to respect her and falls hard for her. My favorite seen is when she,on a bet, has to dance at her school!I love the way his expression changes from laughing at her to one REAL JEALOUS GUY. Also a really pretty scene is when they are in the rain under a light at night. That is a beautiful scene. Like a picture! This is a difinately buy me movie. These two really look like a real couple because the chemestry between them makes is really good.

Delightfully sweet Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
Kwon Sang Woo plays Kim Ji Hoon, a transfer student from America who loves to brawl but hates to study. At twenty one, he's still in high school and doesn't seem to be bothered by this. His dad hasn't given up on him though, so he hires a tutor, Choi Su Wan, a junior majoring in English. Ji Hoon makes life miserable for his tutor so the latter will quit. He finds out that Su Wan is not one to give up easily. The two battle head-on wiht neither wanting to be the first to raise the white flag. They tolerated each other's company until Ji Hoon finds himself enjoying Su Wan's company and the latter finds herself thinking about the former. can Su Wan go beyond the level of tutor and be the girlfriend of this guy, a 21-year old high school student?

I'm making a list of my favorite Korean movies and My Tutor Friend flew right on top of that list. I would say this is Korean romantic comedy at its best. The story between Ji Hoon and Su Wan unfolds perfectly: there was no rush in letting the two fall in love in the middle of the movie, which move would be a downright killjoy; neither was too much time wasted in developing a romance between the two, which move would be a downright bore.

You're captivated by the antics of the quirky characters but you never will lose sight of the fact that this movie is a love story between the tutor and her student. I was skeptical about the gang bit and I thought the movie could do away with it, but in retrospect, I thought it blended well with the movie. Besides, the fight scenes were quite good, with a few awesome stunts, though I've seen better.

Anyway, the lead actors. Kwon Sang Woo was close to superb in this movie. The sarcasm and devil-may-care attitude were magnificently delivered that by the time the guy showed his sensitive side, I was blown away. Do I hear sighs in the background? Not to be outdone is Kim Ha Neul who performed equally well. Her character required her to be sassy and demure all at once, a feat she pulled off splendidly.

10 kimchi dishes out of 10.

Light Romance Customer Review Rated Bad 7 - 7 out of 10
This is a light romance. A refreshing take on love that develops. No over acting scene and its not an akward role for Kim Ha Neul---but she is better in too beautiful to lie-- watch this and be entertained.

very enjoyable Customer Review Rated Bad 9 - 9 out of 10
Kwon Sang Woo showed everybody what a superior actor he is. He is capable of playing any role he is given and performed superbly. This is a good film except I think the ending dragged on a little. Nevertheless get a copy and enjoy yourself. You won't be disappointed.

Fantastic heart warming Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
This was absolutely unexpectedly entertaining to watch. I watched this movie while on a long haul SIA flight from NY to Singapore. I must have laughed out loud numerous times.
Both Kim Ha Neul and Kwon Sang Woo have natural comic flair and they look so good together. They just left me rooting for their love affair to develop. This is romantic comedy at it's best, asian style.

Nice comedy Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
I like them better in Almost in Love. The comedy is ok kwon Sang Woo portraying a high school bum. Kim Ha Neul portrays the tutor of Kwon. Could be better. I felt that buying this item is not worth it.

My Tutor Friend Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
That's a funny movie, but also romantic.
I like this movie so much! I also want to know the title of a song that when Choi Su-Wan danced on the stage. I love that song. I hope I can get it.

After watching this movie.. Customer Review Rated Bad 7 - 7 out of 10
My Tutor Friend is a movie pretty much for anyone who likes dysfunctional romantic comedies. I am one of those people.

My Tutor Friend is upbeat, sassy, and just all-around fun to watch. I am fans of both Kwon Sang Woo and Kim Ha Neul now because of this movie.
