Whereas the first Wet Dreams film focused on the misadventures of four junior high school boys, Wet Dreams 2 focuses on the sexual curiosities of three girls: Soo-yeon, Mi-sook, and Sung-eun. Soon-eun is the most mature and prettiest of the three girls and a number of her all female classmates have schoolgirl crushes on her. She also has a secret admirer called Brainy Smurf who sends her gifts and flowers. Mi-sook is a geeky girl who seems to lack the brainpower to raise her status from geek to nerd. She tends to ask such important questions as "what is a rubber?" and "what is an erection?" She quite often gets the back of her head slapped and generally has abuse heaped upon her by her friends and teachers. Sung-eun is a pretty waif of a girl whose strong interest in boys spurs on the group's little adventures.

As in the previous film, a hormonally charged classroom is given a jolt with the arrival of a young teacher trainee. This time, however, the young teacher, Kang Bong-gu has a bit of interest in his students as well, especially the slender, busty Baek Se-mi. Se-mi is also interested in Bong-gu and being a girl who is used to getting what she wants little can stop her from pursuing her interests. Sung-eun, of course, also develops a crush for the young teacher, but she is a bit intimidated because of her undeveloped body. However, she pursues Bong-gu doing such things as padding her bra, pursuing a flasher to see what a penis looks like, and even going to Bong-gu's apartment and demanding that he have sex with her.

Like the previous film, Wet Dreams 2 is filled with lowbrow humor. Kang Bong-gu farts every time he becomes sexually aroused, which is quite often, and while it might make the viewer giggle once or twice, it becomes old quite quickly, however, it does produce one of the most humorous lines in the movie. After Sung-eun learns that Kang Bong-gu farts when he is sexually aroused, she states "If she, Se-mi, makes him fart then I am going to make him sh*t." Wet Dreams also has a bit of a "creepy" factor as well. Although the girls are all over eighteen in real life, I was a bit uncomfortable with some scenes involving Se-mi and the physical education teacher who took a number of liberties with the girl such as slapping her on the butt a few times. These scenes reeked of sexual harassment although Se-mi didn't seem to mind.

While better than the first film, and with a noticeably higher budget, Wet Dreams 2 falls into the same category of film as American Pie and the like. Therefore, while it can be entertaining, it offers little more than a quick laugh.
