Based on a true story (just like My Sassy Girl)


Since I can't add to imdb trivia page for SOME REASONS.. I gonna post it here:

An unusual title and screenplay…. smelling like a blockbuster…
The origin of this movie was the Internet episode series [Su-wanee-"My Tutor Friend"].
In June 2000, CHOI Su-wan, a real-life English Literature major, posted on the Internet twenty episodes about her experience in tutoring. Each episode was viewed by 15,000 Netizens on average. The eye-catching series was then featured in www.puha.co.kr, a website specializing in comic episodes, and has since been viewed on average 30,000 times per episode.
The popularity caught on in printed medium as a comic series in the monthly Issue under the title "He and I" by SHIM Hye-jin. This was then published in one volume in 2001 by Daewon C.I., and in the same year its screenplay version was born.

The legend of a perfect cast
One of the biggest burdens on today's filmmakers is casting. Securing a star cast is a sheer battle indeed. But the launch of "My Tutor Friend" was easier than people had anticipated as a great cast was found and fixed without much trouble. In fact, all the first choice actors that the staff had in mind eagerly accepted the offer. This included the lead roles KIM Ha-nuel and KWON Sang-woo, as well as KIM Jah-oak, Su-wan's knife wielding mother, and BAEK Il-sub as Ji-hoon's father.

Please make sure that you know how to spell names correctly, zhixiong, before you really post, because wrong names mistake people..

Unbelievable that three people have failed to see the credits I posted. I have no business with the unintentional error. Email the DVD store if you really want to correct it.

I think, being a fair person, and read those posts, most ppl are saying Soo-Wan and Su-Wan is just the film cast name, ur post should be the post which have error.

I don't mind anyone but those who spelt things or names wrong, but still post to mislead people. I don't care what you post, I don't want to speak but your names are spelt wrong.

Please make sure and watch the movie once before you post the real tutor name again. it's Choi Soo-Wan.

Thank you, your information is cool but wrong names has degraded this.
