Reviews: 1 user
18-year-old Sun Jung, who lives alone with her mother, is an extraordinary life planner. Like any other teenage high school girl, she is dissatisfied with her home and school. In particular, she is full of complaints about her mother. She is studying Swahili since she wants to live in the vastness of Africa once she graduates from high school. And so, she starts working part-time at a convenience store early, but the disruption to Sun Jung's plans is none other than her new homeroom teacher, Hee Joo. As soon as Hee Joo was appointed to Sun Jung's school, she made unconventional suggestions that were different from other teachers, such as having the children rotate class leaders and lockers every week and telling them to use their cell phones on their own as long as they are not caught. The children responded immediately with unconventional suggestions. Will Sun Jung be able to safely pass the stormy age of eighteen?

Emotions are okay
Emotions at 18 are the strongest, and sometimes they can lead young people into bad decisions. Therefore, it is important to find a way to express them and put them in the right place. This movie centers on a class of female students and their new teacher, who tries to approach them with friendship. We see how negative emotions influence the students, and we are reminded that it is hard for teenagers to understand life from an objective perspective. At the same time, it is also difficult for adults to understand the youth. In this movie, the teacher is the one who manages to break down the walls of emotions and truly understand her students’ hearts. In my opinion, she stole the spotlight and became the real main character of the film.The acting was good, but I wouldn’t say it was excellent. The male characters weren’t very good, and I think the movie would have been even better without them. I didn’t see any real need to add the foreign boy into the story because he just vanished as if he had never been there. As far as I know, he wasn’t either in the original novel on which this movie is based.
Since I am in a Korean book club, I will suggest reading this book there. I’m interested in connecting with the characters on a deeper level because I really liked the topic and the movie simplified it. The church setting served the story well, as did the beach. All in all, it was a nice movie about being honest with your emotions and finding someone to share them with.
