It's a battle for love between bitter rivals: a primary school teacher...and her twelve year-old student? From Jang Kyu
Sung, director of the hit comedy
My Teacher, Mr. Kim, comes
Lovely Rivals, a hilarious and bittersweet comedy
about an unlikely love triangle. Yeom Jung Ah (co-star of
A Tale of Two Sisters, and winner of the 2004 Best Supporting
Actress Award at the Dae-Jong Film Festival) is Yoe Mi-Ok, a lazy elementary school teacher who longs for a bigger and better
teaching job. Thanks to her fiery and sometimes mean personality, Mi-Ok is unpopular with everyone in school. For herself,
she couldn't care less – that is, until she meets the handsome new teacher (Lee Jee Hoon) and instantly falls in love!
Mi-Ok pretends to be kind and sweet to win his heart, but romantic competition arrives in a surprisingly pint-sized package:
Ko Mi-Nam (Lee Se Young), one of Mi-Ok's students, and a romantic rival to be reckoned with! A recent transfer from another
school, Mi-Nam is precocious both physically and mentally, and is determined to expose Mi-Ok's true personality for all to
see! The two "women" engage in an escalating war, but beneath their battles there are lessons to be learned. Can Mi-Ok rediscover
what it truly means to be a teacher? With a top cast, winning characters, and heartfelt laughs, Lovely Rivals is a
surprising and genuinely crowd-pleasing comedy that's sure to entertain!
