Kelsey has been left at the altar by her intended spouse. To get away from the town and everyone who pities her, she takes a job as an English teacher in Taiwan. It becomes a significant adjustment with many challenges due to the language barrier and cultural differences. However, she receives some assistance from 'Horace,' who is also a teacher at the school. When the semester comes to an end, Kelsey is torn between her ill mother and sister back home and her new life with her students and Horace in Taiwan.
A good romantic movie that also deals with cultural differences and the challenges of different languages. It probably would have received the highest rating but is slightly brought down by the Christian theme and the fact that they are doing christian missionary work in a Buddhist country. The movie includes many good scenes, but the best one is Kelsey's response to her ex-fiancé at the end of the film.
