My Tutor Friend 2 (Korean동갑내기 과외하기 레슨 II; lit. Tutoring a Friend of My Age Lesson 2) is a 2007 South Korean romantic comedy film released on April 19, 2007.

It was promoted as a sequel to the 2003 movie My Tutor Friend, but the films' characters and plots are unrelated, and only share the basic premise of a boy and girl of the same age that happen to meet as student and tutor, and later fall in love.[1]

Plot

My Tutor Friend 2 follows Junko (Lee Chung-ah), a Japanese exchange student of Korean descent, who arrives in Seoul hoping to reconnect with a Korean guy she met in Japan. She checks into a guesthouse expecting a private room, only to find it already occupied by Jong-man (Park Ki-woong), the abrasive and lazy son of the owner. When Junko threatens to leave, the guesthouse owner persuades her to stay by offering free Korean lessons from Jong-man, who is in debt and has no choice but to agree.

Junko and Jong-man start off on the wrong foot. She’s eager to learn the language and adapt, while he’s indifferent and unwilling to help. Their tutor-student dynamic is filled with miscommunication, personality clashes, and comedic misunderstandings [2]. However, as time passes, their tension gives way to growing affection, and the two slowly start to fall for each other.

Although marketed as a sequel to My Tutor Friend (2003), the film tells a completely separate story with new characters, sharing only the tutoring premise [3]. Filled with humor, cultural clashes, and a sweet slow-burn romance, My Tutor Friend 2 delivers a light and heartwarming take on unexpected love and self-discovery in a foreign land.
