Spring Fever" (Vietnamese title: Spring Drunk) belongs to the romantic comedy genre, telling the love story between Yoon Bom (Lee Joo Bin) - an emotionally cold high school teacher, and Seon Jae Gyu (Ahn Bo Hyun) - the passionate guy who melted her ice heart.
The film aired the first 2 episodes, with positive viewership ratings, reaching 4.8% and 4.6% respectively.
According to the film's dien bien, Jae Gyu and Bom had their first meeting, when Jae Gyu came to school to talk to the Principal about his nephew - Seon Han Gyeol (Cho Jun Young) being canceled the Hieu Thao Award.
Jae Gyu's tall appearance, along with his straightforward, bold-talking personality, attracted Bom's attention. However, immediately after that, she heard many bad rumors about him such as being a gang boss, causing chaos in the town, and going to the police station "as usual"...
Coincidentally meeting again afterwards, Bom misunderstood that Jae Gyu was trying to harm her, and intended to call the police, but was promptly prevented by him. After that, the two continuously met and encountered many "laughing and crying" situations.
In the most recent detail, they go together to Seoul (Korea) to find Han Gyeol and Choi Se Jin (Lee Jae In) - Bom's students, who left home because their parents blamed them for their academic achievements.
Korean media assessed that the first 2 episodes of the film had a fast tempo, bringing many humorous and somewhat exaggerated situations, but did not make viewers feel uncomfortable.
Ahn Bo Hyun's handsome appearance and charming acting are also plus points. The actor is praised for his big, handsome appearance when transforming into Jae Gyu - a guy with a strong physique but possessing a kind and pure heart.
In Jae Gyu, they feel unexpected energy and attraction. Being a person who accepts being misunderstood and having arrogant behavior, but in fact always silently helps others. He is also extremely straightforward, speaks boldly, and is willing to confront teachers to demand justice for his grandson.
Previously, Ahn Bo Hyun said that he decided to participate in the film because he was attracted by the charm of the character Seon Jae Gyu - a local speaker with a fast-paced plot.
The scenery and atmosphere of the coastal town are very beautiful, and because I come from Busan (Korea), I feel confident when expressing that local voice in this project" - he said.
However, there are still some mixed opinions related to Lee Joo Bin's acting. Taking on the female lead role, the actress is assessed as not controlling her facial expressions. However, her beautiful appearance and "size gap" (size difference) between her and Ahn Bo Hyun are still highly appreciated.
