Our School's E.T.

"Chun Sung-geun is the gym teacher of a private high school in an upscale district where competition is heated among students to enter top colleges. Called "E.T." by his students because of his quirky appearance and behavior, he is a teacher who has lived life his own lazy, ignorant way for years without any worries. But one day he's hit with a crisis: At the school's board meeting, a parent requests that the school get rid of "useless" gym classes and expand the hours for English classes. The school decides to hire another English teacher—at the cost of a gym teacher. In danger of losing his position, he remembers by chance that he obtained a license to teach English a decade ago. The school board president tells him to pass a test in order for her to acknowledge it. So Sung-geun, who hasn't spoken (much less taught) English for ten years, faces the near-impossible task of becoming an English teacher within two weeks. His only weapon is his amazingly incomparable physical strength, and with the help of a few students who understand his warm heart, the simpleton Sung-geun begins his rigorous training to exercise his brain "muscles" to master English in his journey to become the school's E.T."

Basically a high school P.E. teacher becomes an English teach in order to keep his job. He is very mediocre at first but attends cram school in order to learn the language better.


Chun Sung-geun (Kim Su-ro) is a tough P.E. teacher who also hunts down kids who skip class or is hanging out at the wrong place or is doing the wrong thing. He loves his job but eventually his job is threatened and has no choice but to study English since that job is in demand. At first he is horrible because he only knows a few words in English but with some help he becomes a better person and teacher.


Baek Jung-koo (Baek Sung-hyun) is a complicated kid who wants to become a fighter. He eventually does so with the guidance of Chun Sung-geun and the two manage to change each others lives for the better.


Kim Su-ro is truly amazing in this film, he is quite funny but still manages to offer up an emotional side to his character that is quite unique. He really stand out in this role that not anyone can do!


Since he was the main actor in this film, I've decided to only write about him but only for a few sentences. Don't get me wrong, the minor actors did a good job but none of them really stood out to me. I also don't like Lee Min-ho, I cant stand his look or his acting.
