Plot
Young-Ju is unceremoniously appointed by her co-workers to take an English class for her department. On her first day in class, things suddenly turn interesting when she meets Moon-Su, a well dressed womanizer, who is infatuated with his Australian English teacher. Moon-su does not notice Young-Ju because of her ordinary appearance but Young-Ju takes matter into her own hands to gain his attention. Consequently they do eventually fall for each other, but Young-Su soon discovers a picture in his wallet of another girl. Young-Ju is unaware that the girl in his wallet is his long lost sister who was adopted at an early age and moved away to the United States. Moon-su is only taking the English course so he can speak English with his sister who is soon returning to visit Moon-Su and his mother. Meanwhile, Young-Ju is taken to the reunion by Moon-Su’s mother, still unaware that the girl they are meeting is Moon-Su’s sister. While Young-Ju does her best to translate between Victoria and Moon-Su’s mother, soon Young-Ju’s emotions take over and she makes up her own translations one being "Victoria…Mother hates you…Moon-Su hates...everybody hates you." Victoria soon leaves, while the mother uses the restroom and before Moon-Su arrives. Will it be too late for Young-Ju to put everything back together?

A seriously delightful comedy carried by the charismatic performances by the three main leads, Lee Na-Young (Young-Ju), Hyuk Jang (Moon-Su) and Angela Kelly (Catherine). Obviously the first thing that grabbed my interest was seeing the classroom setting and watching how the students would learn English. Angela Kelly was great as the English Teacher and her rudimentary Korean skills was cute. Lee Na-Young inevitably dominates the movie, no matter how hard the filmmakers tried to make her plain and ordinary, her charm seriously shined through every scene she was in (also some of her lines like "Time Over," "Elvis Never Stop!," "To Be Continued," and "Victoria…Mother hates you…Moon-Su hates..Everybody hates you!" were brilliant!). Please Teach Me English being a Korean comedy of course turned more serious, this time with the theme of a family reunion between an adopted Korean-American girl and her family. Also in the final subway scene, you will hear a great song called "Azalea Flower" sung by Maya. The song ratchets up the melodramatic flair of the subway scene by an infinite degree and provides the lead to a perfect movie ending. Check this one out….
