A Millionaire's First Love (백만장자의 첫사랑), wiki and review, is a Korean movie released in 2006 about a spoiled, rich kid who is sent to a small town to finish school and graduate in order to get his inheritance. Along the way, he meets this girl and that's where it continues. It stars Hyun Bin and Lee Yeon Hee. The summary is as follows:
Kang Jae-kyung is a typical spoiled rich kid; he’s arrogant, drives sporty cars, attends the big clubs, and rides through school corridors on his motorcycle. As his 18th birthday approaches, he’s set to inherit his grandfather’s fortune, including a five star hotel. However, Jae-kyung must earn his fortune. His grandfather lays down an ultimatum: Jae-kyung is required to transfer to a new school in Gangwondo and graduate. Until then all access to his penthouse, cottage and credit cards is denied. Should he fail to graduate or drop out, then he loses everything. With little choice he heads out to the countryside and a small town in which daily life is far removed from what he’s used to.
Shortly after settling into his new home he meets 19 year-old Choi Eun-whan, who just happened to run into him back in Seoul. They don’t exactly hit it off; he’s far too stubborn and cool for school, while she sees hope for him and sets out to make him see it for himself. As they eventually draw closer, thanks to a set of coincidences and school projects they learn more about one another, but soon a shattering revelation will change these people forever.
It's a sweet movie where there's a nice girl who eventually changes the arrogant, rather frustrating boy for the better. There's a little more to that - but that's the gist. Even so, it's more on the tragic romance side of things as we find out certain things. I have to say that there is a high possibility of the shedding of tears while watching this movie. :) All in all, it's sweet and though there are scenes that are funny, it's not a comedy.
You can watch it here.
