My Boss, My Hero (2001)

In the chaotic world of organized crime, a young and somewhat incompetent gang leader, Do-shik, finds himself the butt of the joke more often than not. His embarrassing blunders and ineptitude at performing routine gang tasks prompt his superiors to issue a peculiar ultimatum — attain his high school diploma or forfeit his leadership. Disguised as a 19-year-old, Do-shik plunges back into the academic realm, enrolling in a prestigious private co-ed high school in GangNam, Seoul. However, this journey to re-education soon reveals that the halls of the school are as ruthless and corrupt as the gang world he's familiar with, if not more. The schoolyard bullies are relentless, the atmosphere is vicious, and the corruption runs deep, making his gang's haphazard operations seem almost benign in comparison. As the pressure mounts, the once ignorant Do-shik can no longer ignore the stark reality of the school's underbelly. Tired of playing the part of an innocent student, he decides to confront the school's corruption head-on. Unleashing his pent-up wrath, Do-shik stands at the precipice of a showdown — one that promises to blur the lines between the classroom and the criminal underworld. "My Boss, My Hero" offers a unique, thrilling narrative where the homework is as deadly as a gang feud, and the only diploma worth getting is one in survival.

My Boss, My Hero is an action movie featuring Bae Joong-sik.
