In Our Prime ( Korean: 이상한 나라의 수학자; Hanja: 異常한 나라의 數學者; RR: Isanghan Naraeui Suhakja; lit. Mathematician in Wonderland) is a 2022 South Korean drama film directed by Park Dong-hoon. The film stars Choi Min-sik, Kim Dong-hwi, Park Byung-eun, Park Hae-joon and Jo Yun-seo and revolves around two people: a genius mathematician with a hidden past and a student who is failing math. [2] [3] It was released theatrically on March 9, 2022. [4]
Lee Hak-seong (Choi Min-sik), a genius mathematician who defected from North Korea in search of academic freedom, hid his identity and story. He lives as a security guard at a private high school where the top 1% of gifted children gather. One day, Lee Hak-seong, who is the number one target to be avoided by students due to his cold and blunt expression, meets Han Ji-woo (Kim Dong-hwi), a high school student who gave up mathematics begging him to teach him mathematics after learning his identity. While teaching Han Ji-woo — who was wandering in a world looking only for the correct answer — how to find the correct solution process, Lee Hak-seong also encounters an unexpected turning point in his life.
As of 31 January 2023 [update], the film has a gross of US$4,081,864, and 534,287 admissions. [1]
