Let's Go to School, Sang-doo! - 상두야,학교가자!

Latest Watch!Synopsis:

Childhood friends, Cha Sang-doo and Chae Eun-hwan, became the most envied couple in highschool because of their love for each other. However, good things never seem to last. The lovebirds were torn apart when Eun-hwan's family was threatened by debtors to be on the run and Sang-doo, goes to a jail when he knocked someone into coma while rescuing Eun-hwa's prized possession.


Upon release, Sang-doo realised Eun-hwan's family is no longer living in the vicinity and his foster parents had disowned him and migrated to America. Years later, he became a gigolo in order to raise enough to cover the hospital bills for his sick 'daughter', Bori. During a date with his client, he coincidentally bumped into Eun-hwa, now a high school teacher and vows to win her back at all cost. His determination led him to be a school security guard, an 18 year old high school student and anything that could allow him to get close to Eun-hwa.

This 16 episode comedy-romance drama beautifully records the ups and downs of their relationship, separation and reunion.


My take:
Though this 2003 drama is Rain's debut as an actor, I would say that it definitely gave him more opportunity to showcase his acting talent as compared to Full House. He plays a student, a father, a lover and this made him so much more attractive because now we see Rain not just a hearthrob singer-dancer but a rather talented actor as well.

Worth watching.

Also, there's not much crying for the audience to participate in. Just lots of s
creaming and gushing for Rain's fans. :)

Kong Hyo-jin who plays Eun-Hwan is the most natural looking female Korean actress in this drama. i.e. to say she doesn't look like she has much plastic surgery done to her. Of course, initially it takes some getting use to just to watch her on screen, but after a while you really find her
quite comfortable to look at. Afterall... it's natural.

Ivy just can't stop oooo-ing over Lee Dong-geon (Mr Panda eyes), who plays Eun-Hwa doctor boyfriend. He has starred in Stained Glass and Sweet 18.
