"I am the President..."
The youngest and the most talented president in the history of Korea, Min-wook lives and breathes with the people by going undercover us a homeless man or a cab driver. However, the death of his wife forms a deep void in his heart and home, and his only daughter, Yeong-hee, is going astray. He is summoned to school for the first time as a parent by Eun-soo, his daughter's home teacher, and meets his match.
Ahn Sung-ki, the actor most becoming the president, finally plays the role of the president in "The Romantic President", the first movie of its kind.
A movie about a president in Korea? Who will play the leading role?
Who else but Ahn Sung-ki, the people's actor? He has over 70 films to his credit but has never played the role of the president. As a pillar in the Korean film society and whom everyone looks up to, the character Han Min-wook is like his other self. In the 'piano-playing' scene, he plays himself the piece 'Love is a many splendored thing', the theme song of the movie 'Maternal Love'. The amazing thing is that he has never played the instrument before but you would never realize the fact since he manages to combine technique and emotion perfectly.
'Of the students, by the students, for the students...'
