Dark hagwon classroom, children in early education are solving exam questions. The movie begins with the sound of teacher Eun-jeong's bell that the exam is over. Su-jin (Kim Min-seo), who was born into a wealthy family but tried to self-harm due to the stress of her early education, is caught by her teacher Eun-jeong (Choi Hye-yeon). But as cold as her fear, Eun-jung kindly teaches Soo-jin how to commit suicide. A few days later, the news comes to Eun-jung that Su-jin attempted to commit suicide and was taken to her emergency room, and Su-jin's mother visits her and becomes angry. Eun-jung treats Su-jin's mother as if nothing happened, and she is summoned by her academy head teacher (Yoo Hyo-jong) who finds it.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
