'My Boss, My Teacher' sticks to same formula

2006/01/19 | Source | Permalink |

The problem with a sequel like "My Boss, My Teacher" ("Two-sabu ilchae") is that it's about the same characters and the elements of freshness are gone. The same gangsters attempt to score some academic points and help the society eliminate evil factors.

In the first installment of the gangster comedy back in 2001, Gae Doo-sik (Jeong Joon-ho) was forced to attend a high school and get away with at least the credentials to lead one of the country's leading gangster groups (these days, you have to be smart to be a gangster, and that's the key point).

At the end of the first piece "My Boss, My Hero", Doo-sik was given another order from his higher boss: go to college because the standard for gangster leaders has been raised.

That has laid out the basic premise for the sequel and in "My Boss, My Teacher", Doo-sik is attending college, something that he should be quite proud of. But he's not a good college student because his underling Sang-du (Jeong Woong-in) is taking classes and ...| More

Corruption and immorality in the nation's secondary school system are serious issues that often appear on the front page of newspapers. But are they a good subject for a comedy movie?

The corruption of a private school foundation, disrespect for teachers and an immoral relationship between a teacher and student are heavy issues. Can you poke fun at them?

The coming comedy film "My Boss, My Teacher" deals with these issues while making the audience break out in laughter.

"I hope that this film can work as a comedy that criticizes current social problems, which (in the film) are tackled by men who are uneducated yet have a sense of justice", actor Jeong Joon-ho said Tuesday during a news conference after the preview screening of "My Boss, My Teacher" at Yongsan CGV theater in Seoul.

Jung said the sequel uses similar elements of humor as the original 2001 hit comedy, which was seen by 3.5 million people, but to improve it, the situations that...| More

It has been almost four years since an uneducated grown-up gangster went to high school in the 2001 hit comedy "My Boss, My Hero". Now the hero is back at high school again, this time as a student teacher for the sequel.

"I really wanted to star in this film. I have a particularly strong attachment and affection for the original since it was the first successful film that I starred in", actor Jeong Joon-ho said Monday during a news conference at Kyung Hee University in Suwon, Kyonggi Province, where his upcoming comedy film "My Boss, My Hero 2" was being filmed.

For the film, he even turned down the request to star in the sequel to his 2002 hit gangster comedy "Marrying the Mafia", which turned out to be the most successful comedy film this year.

"My Boss, My Hero 2" will keep the hilarious basic and key elements from the original _ the irony that a gangster goes to school, tries to mingle with his under-aged classmates and ends up solving pr...| More
