I Am Sam - Yang Dong Geun and Park Min Young


Yang Dong Geun as Jang Yi San
Park Min Young as Yoo Eun Byul
T.O.P as Chae Moo Shin
Son Tae Young as Shin So Yi

Synopsis: The story focuses on the conflicts between the young teachers and the problems that high school students have. Jang Yi San is a timid and incompetent classical music teacher who has to teach the only daughter of a highly dangerous mob leader. Eun Byul is the mob leader's daughter and she is also a new student at MyungMoon High but knows nothing whatsoever.

Review: Although it may seem absurd, I believe that somehow, a teacher and a student also have the right to fall in love with each other.

This 16-episode series showed the typical struggles a korean high school experiences; both the teachers and the students.

As it focused on one student, the other one was neglected and so each of them must be treated fairly so as not to create conflicts.

This is a really funny series. Teacher Jang was a typical homeroom teacher with his eyes only set upon his fellow teacher. But when a new student arrived and changed his life, he also has changed his views.

The story of this series wasn't much as interesting as the others that I've seen but it actually made me laugh, angry and sad at the same time.

There are lots of weird stuff happening in this series but it ended the way viewers wanted it to end: a happily ever after for the main characters.
