Audience Member It's a ridiculous comedy, but sometimes, is that not perfect? The quirkyness of both characters somehow works well together. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member good enough to fill ur spare time, it's a feels good movie :) Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member A comedy about learning English... personally I didn't find it very entertaining. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie is all about a South Korean Government Worker named Na Young-ja.It shows that the Korean People are striving to pass the TOEFL(Test of English as a Foreign Language) for those who speak it as a Foreign Language, just like the normal Filipino People who wanted to pass IELTS(International English Language Testing System) for the people who speaks English as a Secondary Language. It is very hilarious , yet sentimental. It is a good film to watch ,since it has a good story plot.The story is truly based on the lives of different people who live in South Korea. The Downside is that you need to read the subtitles and there is no English Version that I found in the Internet Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Cute, funny, and corny romantic comedy that lays it on too hard with the melodrama from time to time. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Korean RomCom that actually has some charm and is funny. Candy is a civil service worker who gets chosen via spin the bottle to learn English for her job after a run-in with a disgruntled English-only speaker. Candy is a plain girl whose more than a little awkward. In her class is a wanna-be womanizer nicknamed Elvis. What follows is familiar to those of us forced to watch US RomComs: the misunderstanding, the chase that leads to a Public Statement of Love, the "plain" girl who transforms into the Hot girl she already was, etc. What makes this all bearable to me was the charm of the leads and the goofy nature of some of the sequences. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
