Park Bo-young and Lee Jong-seok go back to school

Yay, I can’t wait to watch Park Bo-young (A Werewolf Boy) tear it up as a high school jjang. Throwback ’80s movie Hot Blooded Youth is getting ready to premiere next month, and has released a set of teaser posters for the foursome who will rule the school. The posters are fantastically retro and comic-booky, featuring our four lead characters: two school jjangs, one casanova, and the new girl who shakes up the whole town.

The new teen romance movie comes from director Lee Yeon-woo of Running Turtle, and is set in 1982 Choongcheong-do. It’s described as a small-town romance story about the time in youth when everything runs hotter and blazes with more intensity. Park Bo-young stars as the badass jjang who rules the entire district and is famously known as a loyal gangster. Her one weakness: legendary casanova pretty boy Lee Jong-seok (I Hear Your Voice), on whom she has a burning one-sided crush. Awww.

Kim Young-kwang (Good Doctor) is the boys’ jjang, and he’s in love with Park Bo-young who won’t give him the time of day, and bitterly sits by watching her pine for Lee Jong-seok. But then everything changes when the new pretty girl Lee Se-young (I Miss You) transfers from Seoul. Lee Jong-seok goes after her immediately, which Park Bo-young watches with a broken heart, so then Kim Young-kwang decides to win the new girl over instead. Pfft. Worst plan ever. It basically puts the two boys at odds, and then Park Bo-young has to come and save the day. Love it. Can we get the drama version in 2015? Pretty please?

Hot Blooded Youth hits theaters in January.

It is set in the 80s, after all. I'm not expecting great fashion and hair. :)

I know it's set in the 80s....still doesn't mean I have to like it, hehe.

Plus, Kim Young-kwang's character has better hairstyle that even fits with the 80s...why does Oppa have to get the one that makes him look like a complete bumpkin? lol

I disagree kim young kwang can act.

He was great in White Christmas along with all the other actors in that great drama.

I expect this movie to be very interesting with all the actors involved.

Those black and white shots at the bottom... They look like shots from SPEED's MV. That's My Fault. Especially the top one, I'm sure it's from the MV.

KIM YOUNGGWANG'S HAIR OMG. Lee Jong Seok's hair is not losing on the ridiculous scale either. This kind of makes me glad I wasn't around in the 80's.

Reminds me a little of this 1980s' John Hughes movie - "Some Kind of Wonderful". Park Se Young is a transfer student so she is definitely unlike Lea Thompson's "It-girl" character.

Looking forward to the movie!

Ahhh, I can't wait for this movie! I love my Park Bo Young since it's been a while since we've seen her in a movie. Lee Jong Suk is another actor I really like so I'm looking forward to this movie. I also don't mind Lee Se-Young or Kim Young Kwang since I haven't really seen any of their works so I'm pretty neutral towards them :)
Things are looking good so far~ Park Bo Young <3

Am I the only one who likes Lee Jong Suk's '80s hair? Maybe it's because I was born in the '80s, but I adore it.

Born in the 80s? That can't be it, because so was I, and I think it's awful.
