About Long Live the Island Frogs
A husband-wife teaching team arrive on isolated Sachi Island. They try to start a school against the opposition of the islanders. To attract students, they organize athletic teams from the island children and promise that they will win the national competitions... a promise they may not be able to keep.
Directed by Chung Jin-woo, Long Live the Island Frogs leans on a strong ensemble — Shin Il-ryong, Kim Young-ae, 정창성 — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1972.
