Middle School Student A

It is K-Movie #3 made in 2014. Directed by Baek Sang hoon. Written by Kim Hyun Jung. Starring Lee Yul -eun, Kwak Dong yeon.

Hae jun has been number 1 in his middle school in Gangbuk, but his family moves to Daechi to go to a better high school. Eunseo has always been no 1 in her school but Hae jun takes her place as soon as he enters the new school.

The students including Eunseo, Nayeon decide to shake Hae Jun up & try to drop his rank. It is a game for them.

The show begins with a news of a student jumping from a rooftop. She was concerned about her grades. Hae Jun is being dropped to school by his mother , when this news is heard on the car radio.

It sets the mood. We know what to expect. So many shows deal with bullying but the suicide rate is increasing. So is the parental pressure. All Asians expect their children to reach the highest rank & the highest post.

Coaching classes, expert tutors are in high demand. So are the expectations. What does the child want? Nobody cares.

The two competing students in ‘Doctor Slump’ seen recently. She is the transfer student there. Park Shin hye & Park hyun sik are nice together. But naturally, we wanted explosives !!!

‘Crash course in Romance’, ‘Eighteen ‘, ‘Who are you?’ & above all the cult drama ‘Boys Over Flowers’ deals with students, stress, coaching class, bullying.

I have seen Lee Yul eum in ‘Nevertheless’ 2021. Kwak Dong yeon from ‘Love in the Moonlight’2016, ‘Fight for my way’2017, ‘My ID : Gangnam Beauty’ 2018, ‘My Strange Hero’ 2018, ‘Never Twice’ 2019-20, ‘It’s okay, not to be Okay’2020, ‘Vincenzo’ 2021, ‘Queen Of Tears’ 2024.

Best Child Actor for ‘Middle School Student A’ 2014 was won by Kwak Dong Yeon.

Good story. Good end.
