During the 1980's, the Korean government created a special summer camp for "gyopo" or foreign born teenagers where they could spend their summer in Seoul to learn about their motherland. While the intentions of the program were honorable, the activities of the teens were not. The program was eventually cancelled after a few years because the government simply could not control the youth. (imdb)

I get the need to show multiple characters from different countries to paint a larger picture of cultural exchange. But I honestly thought that Klaus and Kris were the stars of the show and I would have liked to see a movie just on them. (Also: Teo Yoo is INSANE - fluent in three languages!!) The secondary interesting plot was between Sid and the teacher, but since there was so much going on, it didn't really develop further. Other sub-plots were not that memorable.
