[First Audience Reaction] Cineplay Reporter’s Star Rating for “Gyo-Saeng Practice”

The trend is horror-comedy (horror + comedy), not romance-comedy. Compared to the previous film, 〈AmEba Girls and School Ghost Stories: School Opening Day〉, the ghost makeup has become more realistic, and the set design is more dazzling—so the “raw” fun has been reduced a bit. Still, the “good-natured bad taste” humor is very much intact. The director’s interests—students and caring about education—are consistent, but in this installment, the sense that the message comes slightly more to the front than the comedy is noticeable. Even so, it’s a K–high-teen movie that wipes away tears with laughter, delivering to our students and teachers the idea that if it’s for grades, “even youth is put on the line.”
