Lovely Rivals (Korean: 여선생 vs 여제자; RR: Yeoseonsaeng vs. Yeojeja; lit. Female teacher vs. female student) is a 2004 South Korean comedy film about a harsh teacher and her headstrong 5th grade student who battle for the affection of the school's handsome new teacher. The film attracted 1,175,580 admissions in 2004.
The scene in which the character Yeo Mi-ok is caught on camera slapping her student was based on a similar real-life incident from earlier in the year in which a teacher repeatedly punched a student in the face.
