Wrapped with wits and laughs and filled with whole package

Whole package includes criticism of social problems existing in the 90s, complex organizational scandals, thrilling problem-solving processes of three main characters, and even a gripping turn of events. 'Samjin Group, English Class' tackles almost all social issues: gender inequality, environmental damage from conglomerates, overflow of foreign capitals, not just lightly but with some depth. I have to complement the writing of the film. It approaches the core of the problem step by step, and the process of it is not slow or boring. It's cute, funny, and absorbing; it gives meaning and message at the same time. The ending is weak and loses reality too much to come back to reality. Before the ending, the writing lures the audience into the 90s that the film created because the narrative is interesting and gripping, and they could forgive and forget that some of the main characters' behavior is unrealistic.

Cute Korean erin brokovich

The comic tone helps keep things moving along. Sometimes a bit too cute. Evil foreigners doing bad things to the villagers in Korea. Around the time of Erin Brokovich this also involves exposure of dumping of chemicals causing illness. Makes you wonder how much actually happened the way it did taking into account creative license. Nice cast.
