Review:
Not
at all matter even if you have never watched “Wet Dreams
I” at all. For “Wet Dreams II” is simply
a mutually exclusive film. This time round in focus is a group
of young high school girls’ sexual fantasies. And who
is the catalyst behind the subsequent chain of hilarious incidents
and open rivalry between Sung-eun and Se-mi? None other than
the handsome, bambi-eyed trainee teacher, Kang Bong-gu. Won’t
that sound too ordinary and unsurprising?
Nope,
because wacky screenplay writer Park Chae-Woon has drawn up
the character, Kang Bong-gu having the most embarrassing and
dreadful weakness - He would uncontrollably fart, not only
as loud as thunder but stinky utmost whenever he is sexually
aroused.
Se-mi
is an upcoming young actress who douses magazine ads and enjoys
special privileges e.g. exempted from punishments though donning
very short skirt and intentionally unbuttoned blouse in school.
Male teachers, especially her male, middle-aged and leachy
Form teacher are certainly captivated by her sexual appeal.
In contrast,
ordinary-looking Sung-eun and her gal pals, Sue-yeon and Mi-sook
are always being eyed, found fault at and punished by the
same teacher. Poor girls.
In the
“battle” contesting for rookie Kang, who will
eventually caught his heart? Will it be the bewitching, cunning
Se-mi or sweet, naïve Sung-eun? Well, the plot development
and ending of “Wet Dreams II” is similar to its
first, always holds surprises. Even the supporting roles,
Sue-yeon and Mi-sook are not spared from their own, astonishing
encounters too.
The most
vital factor that differentiates this film from slapstick,
derogatory jokes-filled comedy is staying funny yet sensible
and original, even had a few heartwarming moments. Although
female audience may hold a closer connectivity towards the
film, guys would enjoy it effortlessly. This is a true comedy
that is able to capture the essence and bringing out the laughs
of the audience consistently.
Hilarious
indeed but beholds a hidden message. That is – a sufficient
and proper sex education being conducted at schools is truly
essential to protect our impressionable adolescents who are
perpetually curious and dying to attempt anything at any cost.
