Save Yourself!: See You After School

"Goong-dahl, a typical loser billed as the "unluckiest man alive" returned to the school after one year's intense training of reject student's treatments. Now he is up to the challenge of posing him self other than a typical loser. With the leads from his another old fellow mate he started with a new face by threatening and rescuing hot girl "Min-ah" from several oldies in the school. Everything went smoothly up to the plan until one of the bully is happened to be the schools notorious thug "Jae-koo" thus receiving invitation to a grand duel on the roof top after the school.
After the light of adventure shading with the price of upcoming fierce grand duel Goong-dahl along with his ally seeks alternatives to avoid the grand duel. But adding more wood to the fire all the plans back fired and cemented his legend thanks to bolstering myths spread by famous mouth flickers in the school.
Meanwhile unknown to "Goong-dahl" group of thugs from out side also trying to hunt him mistakenly believing he is the their arch enemy Jae-koo. Nevertheless during the intermission Goong-dahl fallen in love with Min-ah and became the resurrection dragon of loser student's union in the school.
But after all the hard work done, he is survived by only two options before the duel. Either become a predator of fellow losers or the protector of fellow losers. What will be his ultimatum? Is once a loser forever a loser?"- WIKI

A comical melodrama that doesn't really work due to the poor direction of the film. There are a lot more idiotic scenes than there are melodramatic scenes. Which causes the film to suffer because at times it is quite corny.

Namgoong Dahl is a very unlucky character that is also a big coward that might as well be afraid of his own shadow. Though overtime he grows into a stronger character that makes his own path and decides to face his fear head on. Through the film he realizes that he is a strong person if he tries to be his real self.

Min-ah is the most beautiful girl in class that seems to be an average girl until you get further into the story. She proves to be an interesting character that suffers due to lack of depth since everything is really focused on Namgoong Dahl. Still I have to praise this beautiful girl for a wonderful performance.


I'm not a big fan of Bong Tae-Gyu, for some reason he annoys me. I don't think he can play a serious character or he really hasn't been given the chance to. His poor character and poor direction made this movie so boring which a ton of holes and poorly written side characters.
I suggest you skip this Korean comedy as it will likely bore you.
