To Sir, with Love (aka My Teacher or Teacher's Mercy, and released on DVD in the US as Bloody Reunion) is a 2006 South Korean horror film, and the feature film debut of director Im Dae-woong.
A teacher is a one who moulds the character of the children.she is our 2nd mother. She teaches us what is right and wrong. Mi-ja, who has been taking care of a retired teacher, Ms Park, invites several of her former students to her house 16 years after their graduation. Since the end of her teaching career, Park has been residing in the countryside, suffering from an illness while an ex-student, the kind and pretty Mi-ja cares for her.
Se-ho, Eun-young, Sun-hee, Dal-bong, and Myung-ho each resent her for different reasons. Se-ho and Eun-young, who were president and vice-president of their class, are planning to marry, and remember the time when they were belittled by their teacher for being poor. Sun-hee, skinny and beautiful, was made fun of by their teacher for being obese during her years at high school. Dal-bong, who had dreamed of becoming an ace baseball player, became handicapped due to severe corporal punishment. Myung-ho was sexually approached/abused by her. She also used to lock her deformed son {who wore a bunny mask to hide his face} in the dark basement while the other children made fun of him. Myung-ho's mother, who filed a complaint, was dismissed as a psychopath. As the night of the reunion deepens, the students are starting to die in the hands of a bunny- masked killer. During the movie, it is thought that the Bunny- masked killer is her deformed son coming back for revenge. As the plot thickens, the masked killer turns out being Jung-won, a shy boy who was humiliated in class because he defecated in his pants. The movie continues, and as a twist the detectives realize that Mi-Ja was actually the killer. They realize this because they go to Jung-won's house and see the old skeleton of his mom and they see pictures and news clippings on her wall. The police find out that Jung-won is actually Mi-Ja after looking through the feminine outfits in the closet.
At the end of the movie it found out that Mi-Ja lured all her classmates to the reunion and poisons them all. Everything that supposedly happened to her classmates happened to her. Instead of living terrible lives, as Se-ho had said earlier, they all went off to lead successful and happy lives. In fact, they did visit Ms. Park every year as a class reunion, because they thought of her as a good teacher. At the end of the movie, Mi-Ja kills herself after confronting Ms. Park. who tried to save her but fails due to her health. The movie ends with Ms. Park's wheelchair on alone on the pier, Ms. Park having committed suicide because of her guilt.
