Ha-Neul Kim (”Ditto”) plays 21-year old college student Su-wan, who tutors English in her spare time to pay for college. On the opposite end of the spectrum is Ji-hoon (Sang-woo Kwon), who despite also being 21, has failed high school twice and needs to past this time or face his father’s wrath. Su-wan is hired to tutor the incorrigible Ji-hoon, who makes every effort to spurn her attempts. Meanwhile, background characters Ho-kyung (Kim Ji-Woo) is out to get into Ji-hoon’s pants while Jong-su (Gong Yoo), Ho-kyung’s ex-boyfriend and the school’s resident tough guy, looks to retain his crown; but alas he keeps getting beaten up by Ji-hoon.
There is very little surprise in “Tutor”, if you were wondering. The film basically breaks down into a predictable sequence of events with the two main leads clashing and then eventually falling for one another. First-time director Kyeong-hyeong Kim must have realized he wasn’t doing anything groundbreaking, which may be why Ji-Hoon is not only rich and spoiled, but also an impressive fighter. Besides trashing Jong-su on a regular basis, Ji-hoon spends every other 10 minutes of the movie beating someone else up. Sang-woo Kwon (”Volcano High”) proves to be highly credible as a fighter, and the action scenes in this comedy are actually better than those in the serious teen gang movie “Beat”, if you can believe it.
