Paul Magne Haakonsen I am a huge fan of Asian cinema, and this Korean movie is worth a watch.The story of a police officer having to go undercover in a school, and no one really wonders about her age? Yeah, already there is the first laugh.The dialogue is good and funny, the scenes are well put together, and the movie works well all throughout. And the characters are well portrayed and have that sparkling on-screen chemistry going on.The lead women, Seon-a Kim does a marvelous job in her role as the undercover police woman.However, if you are unfamiliar with Asian cinema, you should know that many things in these movies are fairly extreme and out there, so you should approach this movie with the intention of being entertained and not having to think too much about what is going on.It is a movie that you will pick up again later and watch it for a second time. It has good entertainment value, and could use a sequel for sure.

shinnosuke It just amazes that people critique a film as though they were film critics and such connoisseurs. When I pay money to see a movie, it's an investment of time for me. Then the questions that arises are; was it entertaining, was I able to escape from reality, and did I feel like it was worth my money, waste of my money or just ehhh? This movie fulfills 2 out of the 3 criteria. It was entertaining and I was able to suspend my disbelief for the duration of the movie. I loved the gym teacher, I loved her commanding officer and I loved Kim Seona.I loved how this movie subtly teaches what goes around comes around. She beats up the high school bullies then the PE teacher disciplines her. I love the relationships in the movie. I won't go into much details of the movie, but it wasn't a waste of money nor was it a more than my money's worth. But if you want to watch a movie that allows you to escape for a coupla hours and be entertained, this is the movie for a nice Friday or Saturday night snuggle with the significant other.

Meganeguard Dressed as a schoolgirl, Detective Chun Jane, surrounded by Korean prostitutes, goes undercover to stop Hammer, a member of the Korean mafia who traffics women to the yakuza. When the yakuza arrives, Jane attacks the mafia members and almost beats up every one of them on her own. However, after Hammer is caught, the yakuza turns out to be another detective who blames Jane for destroying his plan to catch the real yakuza member. Being the spunky, hot-tempered fireplug that she is, Jane does not take these words lightly and becomes quite antagonistic towards Detective Cho.Later, the heads of the police department are trying to find the location of Cha Young-jae, Bae Doo-sang's, the leader of the suspected human trafficking scandal, right hand man. Cha had been willing to testify against him, but after an attack Cha quickly fled the scene. In order to find Cha, the head of police decides that Cha's daughter Seung-hee needs to be followed because surely her father will try to contact her. Soon afterwards, after seeing Jane still dressed in her school uniform, the head decides that Jane will attend the school as a student and keep a close eye on Seung-hee. Jane of course dislikes the idea, she is thirty and hated high school, and demands that she should be a teacher instead of a student, but her uncle, who is also her ranking officer, basically says that she is such an idiot that there is no way that she could teach a class. So, against her will, an angry, spunky woman is sent back to school.Always a bit hostile, Jane soon unleashes her fury upon a girl gang and later a group of boys hired by said girl gang. She is constantly in trouble with her P.E. teacher who seems to view her as some type of social deviant, and she has a number of misunderstandings with other girls. However, she is eventually able to find a comfortable position at the school, but when she finally accomplishes this Detective Cho goes undercover at the same school.She's on Duty is a decent film. It takes an old and tired theme and adds new life to it. This is mainly accomplished through the acting of Kim Seon-a who is probably best known for her work on the drama series My Name is Kim-sun. Kim is a spunky and very cute woman who looks twenty instead of thirty and her high energy and exaggerated movements make for an enjoyable film watching experience. However, outside of Kim's performance this film leaves a lot to be desired. There are revelations that can be seen a mile away and some scenes are quite mawkish, but overall She's on Duty is not too bad and it is at least good enough to tickle your funny bone once or twice.

ulrho This movie seems more like a pilot episode for a TV-show than a regular film, although I don't know weather or not this is actually the case. The story is not that complicated and the telling of it offers no surprises. The actors generally do a good job, but the only one who stands out is Kong Yu as Kang No-Young who was thankfully given a more understated roll than the leading actress Kim Seon-a (as Chun Jae-in). Perhaps it is simply the contrast of his character against the rest of the film, but something about him caught attention (and I'm not talking about his good looks, although there certainly is no lack of that either) and held it in every scene. Given the chance I would definitely watch him in another movie. This is a movie to watch when you are in the mood for something light and easily chewed, and you really, really don't feel too analytical or criticizing... It does have some darker sides to it, but nothing that will spoil the general cheerfulness. If this came on TV (fat chance... *SIGH*) I'd watch it again, but I wouldn't spend money on it - nor would I recommend anyone else to do so.
