Lee Kyoung-mi worked with Park Chan-wook as a scripter on Lady Vengeance (2005), before debuting with this quirky comedy in which Park himself makes a cameo. A coming-of-age film for adults, Russian language teacher Mi-sook suffers from uncontrollable hot flushes.  Assigned to teach English, Mi-sook becomes colleagues with her first love from high school, Jong-cheol, who is having an affair with a young, attractive female colleague. Jong-cheol’s daughter Jong-hee then teams up with Mi-sook, fearing her parents’ divorce.  No better than her student when it comes to self-esteem, Mi-sook forges an interesting relationship with Jong-hee as the director dwells on what it means to be the object of another’s affection.
