The other day, I had a great time watching again two Korean movies, one was 100 Days with Mr. Arrogant and the second one was My Little Bride. But before I discuss the two movies, allow me to move on first with my recent watch, Never Been Kissed.
Never Been Kissed starred Drew Barrymore and this cute guy (I still have to find out his name) in a loves story from High School with the teacher falling in love (and vice-versa) with his student, who in reality, is a 25-year old lady going undercover. Well, to make the story short, it was a happy ending (and I love happy endings!).
The setting was the typical high school you and I surely have went through when we were younger. All the elements I think was in high school: the prom, the jock (that one single guy who just everyone loves and covets), the mercenaries (those vain girls who just love to mock you) and the nerds. Of course, we all just love a cutie teacher (if there was one in your school though).
Ha! The teacher-student love story I guess I’ve heard evolved was when I was in college, so it’s very uncommon in high school in my time. And as I remember, I did not have any cutie teacher to inspire me – all were in middle age, some spinsterish who squeezes you and jumps on you and pound you to pieces. Some were gays who scowl every time you disturb their inertia. And most were married who sometimes disturb your inner peace as they target to make your day with the way how their partners made with them. And since I went to a Catholic school, we always had masses with the priest (who most girls had a crush on) who’s not really good-looking but there’s something about him, and not withstanding the voice. And there were times you get to meet student teachers (mostly female in our time) who just love to make acquaintances with the male population and simply ignores you when you raise your hand trying to answer her questions, and when you don’t raise your hand, she simply calls your name and ask for the answer.
There was so much about high school actually. And this is just one phase of it.
