English Teacher Movie Based On Korea to Be Made

An English teacher wanting to marry a Korean woman is going to be made by Hollywood:

In the vein of “Meet the Parents” and inspired by real events, the pitch follows an American guy who falls in love with a Korean woman while teaching English as a second language. He proposes marriage and she says yes, with a condition: Her Korean family must approve and they must have a traditional wedding in Korea. So the groom makes the trip with his family in an effort to marry his true love.  [Hollywood Reporter]

Yeah that premise should go over real well in Korea.

    Done to death by Hollywood. (white guy in shining suite of armor sweeping the poor Asian gal off her feet).

    How about an Asian guy sweeping the White gal off her feet? Yeah, that would go real well in America.

    "How about an Asian guy sweeping the White gal off her feet?"

    It has already been done. Sixteen Candles, 1984.

    Long Duk Dong and the tall, large-breasted Marlene.

    "The Donger" "No More Yanky My Wanky".

    Clips galore on YouTube.

    Long Duk Dong was the archetype of Korean manliness. Everyone knows that deep deep in the bowels of the Korean man's mind, therein lies the secret desire for the forbidden fruit of the Korean ghetto. The blond bombshell. She has huge knockers, long legs, blond hair and most important: white skin.

    Every Korean man knows that all the kimuchi in the world won't get him within 1000 meters of his dream girl. That is why Tom wants to see it in a movie.

    Tom, I feel for you bro. I feel your pain. :lol: :lol: :lol:

    LOL. Long Duk Dong – a perfect example of hypocrisy of the English teachers whining. Well, I for one, am glad you're getting back the same shit that you people have been dealing out for decades.

    How about JetLi and Aliyah? Yeah, yeah, they stopped short of kissing, but in the movie, there appeared to be something there.

    I don't think Korean dudes are the only ones playing the I-don't-have-game-to-pick-up-girls-so-I-must-whine-and-overreact-when -they-take-"my"-women. From personal experience, I've seen Kuwaitis and Turks act the same way, except more violently. All it takes is a little skill, persuasion, courage, and charm, not grabbing the girl by her hair and dragging her on the street back home or sense of entitlement due to hometown commonality.

    I'd like to see more yellow dude on black chick movie scenes of the non-porn type. From talking with some disgruntled black women, they're pissed that black men are dating outside the sisters and are only too happy to see another sister with an other than black man.

    Here is a real-life touching story where the Asian man swept a Caucasian off their feet.

    Tom:

    Ever see the Jet Li movie The One? Apperently not. Not to mention one of the most popular TV in Korea is about FOREIGN WOMEN DATING KOREAN GUYS!! Beautifl strawman there Tom.

    Tom…Koreans are the worst for handing out shit to people. It's one reason why foreign companies don't want to invest in Korea anymore. Let's not forget the Korean couple in the Philippines that hung up the Koreans only signs in their restaurant. Nice strawman

    though hyopcrite Tom.

    Maybe if Koreans treated females like real humans instead of baby factories you morons would see less of the "foreign guy dating a Korean girl" thing.

    I'd rather see a movie about an Asian guy and a white girl, the posted script sounds about as exciting as watching paint dry. It's not really a racial thing, its just so over done, I remember in Korea seeing foreign guys that looked literally like Quasimoto (the hunch back of notre dam) with fairly cute Korean girls–they should make a movie about that(; On the other hand though, maybe I was just a jealous loser who couldn't find a woman of my own despite my Korean friend finder account ):

    Some people need to give their insecure, hypocritcal heads a shake.

    In "Bruce Lee The Dragon Story" (and in real life) the Asian guy gets the "white" girl and kicks a few white dudes in the head!

    Jet Li's "The One" is another example.

    I believe in "The Medallion" or "The Tuxedo" Jakie Chan gets the "white" girl in the end.

    How about this: A black man from say Nigeria comes to Korea and sweeps some Korean girl off her feet.

    Then they get married, move into a place say somewhere in Seoul or Busan and start pumping out half Korean kids.

    Of course, this movie would be made by South Koreans for South Koreans.

    Yeah, that would go over well in Korea!
