Starring: Kim Seon-ah, Lee Beom-soo

One of the top-grossing movies of South Korea in 2002, Wet
Dreams
is a sweet teenage comedy about four high school boys
who are experiencing their first hormonal urges.


When a pretty trainee teacher (Kim Seoh Ah) is hired by the school,
she immediately becomes the object of the boys fantasies. Unfortunately,
though, she is still in love with her former teacher, Mr Gong (Lee
Beom Soo), who now teaches at the same high school.


Reminiscent of the American Pie films, Wet Dreams
successfully captures the pangs and awkwardness of growing up. A
watchable and amusing film — if you never grew out of your
late teens.
