Lovely Rivals (Korean: 여선생 vs 여제자; RR: Yeoseonsaeng vs. Yeojeja; lit. Female teacher vs. female student) is a 2004 South Korean comedy film about a harsh teacher and her headstrong 5th grade student who battle for the affection of the school's handsome new teacher.[2] The film attracted 1,175,580 admissions in 2004.[3]
The scene in which the character Yeo Mi-ok is caught on camera slapping her student was based on a similar real-life incident from earlier in the year in which a teacher repeatedly punched a student in the face.[4]
