[First Impressions] Cineplay Critic Rates 'Ugly Duckling Ms. Maeng'

[First Impressions]

Lee Sun-bin X Yoo Jae-myung X Kim Young-min X Jeon Seok-ho: a veteran dream team with a combined 238 years of acting experience! 〈Ugly Duckling Ms. Maeng〉 opens October 28. The mission comedy follows Maeng Bo-ram, a Korean language teacher from a small provincial town who unexpectedly joins the question-setting headquarters, sealed off for 40 days to prepare the College Scholastic Ability Test—a Grade 2 state secret in South Korea. There, she scrambles to write a “question without problems,” free of typos or anything anyone could dispute. Cineplay editor-in-chief Joo Seong-cheol shares his impressions after seeing the film at a press and distributor screening.
