Once Upon a Time in High School
Opis filmu
Opis oryginalny: angielski
Hyun-soo (Kwon Sang-woo), transfers to another school, notorious for its poor outcomes and brutality. He joins a bottom-rank class and experiences violence by delinquents led by Jong-hoon (Lee Jong-hyuk), a stereotypical Korean bully. The teachers are depicted as authoritarian and brutal, as were many Korean teachers up to the 70s. On the bus, Hyun-soo sees and falls in love with Eun-joo (Han Ga-in) and, when schoolboys start teasing her, Hyun-soo takes the opportunity to gain her respect, even though it meant starting a riot. After the two are chased and caught in their hiding place (a rat prompted Eun-joo to scream), one of Hyun-soo's friends Kim Woo-sik (Lee Jung-jin), steps in and knocks the attackers out.
