About This DVD

How do you follow up an acclaimed melodrama literally reviving the career of a great veteran (1998's An Affair with Lee Mi Sook and Lee Jung Jae), and an exquisitely subtle tale of love, jealousy and abandon in the Joseon Dynasty (2003's Untold Scandal with Jeon Do Yeon, Bae Yong Joon and Lee Mi Sook)? With a musical comedy about rich teenager boys falling in love with transgenders!

The career of director Lee Jae Yong is amongst the most unique in Chungmuro, and his new film Dasepo Naughty Girls is nothing different, a quirky comedy adapted from a sexually explicit (the film is a little tamer, but still very raunchy), hilarious and extremely popular online comic. Mosseulmo (lit. useless!) High has a peculiar curriculum, giving a new meaning to sexual education. Its students struggle week in and week out in between S&M lessons, mass venereal diseases and teachers dating minors. Amongst all those strange characters is a girl so poor she literally wears poverty on her sleeves (Kim Ok Bin of Over The Rainbow), a one-eyed outcast (Lee Kyeon of Yeon Gaesomun and Hello, Francesca) and her stunningly beautiful sister (who, go figure, takes a leak with the boys. I wonder why...), a chubby teacher who likes to dress like Sailor Moon while dating his students, and that's only the tip of the iceberg. They study (very little), they date (a lot), and in between you also get your dose of dance skits. It's like Sex is Zero meets Bollywood!
