Little did I know this 3 episode show was going to take me up and down this ride of Action, Revenge, Cute, Angst… wow! Just wow.
I don’t want to spoil it by saying too much but if you think of a Tarantino movie Korean style, that would be it.
A must watch if you like action. My only criticism: Why not make this a full 16 episodes drama? It had the plotline, the actors, the twists and sequences, I wish they would actually. Although in this instance 3 episodes work perfect.

I was completely misguided by the wonderful reviews...
After seeing this miniseries and after the comments and reviews, I was confused.
STORY – it's so uninteresting I don't even know if I get it right. Short version: an innocent, unintelligent girl is manipulated into being a murderer. And she kills a lot of people, including some bad ones (innocent people will be the fruit of youth and for that we can forgive her)...
Cha Yeon Jin is born with the purpose of providing stem cells to the Criminal Kwon Do Hwan, supposedly his progenitor. Meanwhile, the leader of the boss's assassin group, Yoo Seong Ho, runs away with the surrogate mother along with her daughter.
Later, due to activities related to the bad guy's scientific research (which are reminiscent of a lot of science fiction movies), the mother Jang In Sook is kidnapped. The great protector Seong Ho and Yeon Jin kill one of the criminals. While Yeon Jin finds her mother who is murdered by poor copies of Alex DeLarge, from the movie A Clockwork Orange, the protector must have had an attack of sciatica and only appears at the end to see Yeon Jin “killed” by his former recruit, Min Jin. Then, without understanding why, the protector leaves the scene (perhaps to smoke a cigarette or snort oxygen) and Yeon Jin decides to accompany a woman she has never seen and become a murderer, with the promise of avenging her mother.
But, of course, a murderess must be literate and that's why she goes to school. At school, there's a boy who has the misfortune of falling in love with her. Great mysteries happen, such as knowing if she is good at Mathematics and if there is a waiver from Physical Education.
Ah, in the middle of all this there is the incompetent Choi Tae Yeong, a detective who appears at the beginning, doing nothing, in the middle (perhaps to attend some classes at school) and at the end, doing very little.
A lot of people are killed, which is good for reducing personnel costs, between well-choreographed scenes. In one of the scenes we realized that Min Jin must have myopia, because she hits everything that moves at long distances, but up close she is a disgrace.
In the end, the killer ends up going out with her friends and… the end is so scary that it seems to open up possibilities for a second series”!!!!!!
ACTING – there are good acting. The role of Killer K is well done, within the character's shallow depth.
MUSIC – I don't remember any.
REWATCH – no! There are countless better movies and series on revenge, crimes and murders and all the miscellaneous themes we want to encompass. For action scenes it is ok.
OVERALL – there are some interesting scenes and could be very interesting. It could be condensed into a 90' film, explore the parts of the story that seem interesting and forget about the rest.
Again, I don't understand the justifications for such high ratings. Perhaps having read them I expected something with much more quality…
Após ver esta minissérie e depois dos comentários e resenhas, fiquei confuso.
HISTÓRIA – é tão desinteressante que nem sei se percebi. Versão curta: uma menina inocente e pouco inteligente é manipulada e torna-se uma assassina. E mata muita gente, entre os quais algumas más pessoas (as pessoas inocentes serão fruto da juventude e por isso podemos perdoar à menina). Cha Yeon Jin nasce com o propósito de fornecer células estaminais ao Criminoso Kwon Do Hwan, supostamente o seu progenitor. Entretanto, o líder do grupo de assassinos do chefe, Yoo Seong Ho, foge com a mãe de aluguer juntamente com a filha.
Mais tarde, devido a atividades relacionadas com as pesquisas científicas do mauzão (que lembram imensos filmes de ficção científica), a mãe Jang In Sook é raptada. O grande protetor Seong Ho e Yeon Jin matam um dos criminosos. Enquanto Yeon Jin encontra a mãe que é assassinada por umas cópias rascas de Alex DeLarge, do filme a Laranja Mecânica, o protetor deve ter tido um ataque de ciática e só aparece no fim para ver a Yeon Jin “morta” pela sua ex recruta, Min Jin. Depois, sem que se entenda o porquê, o protetor sai de cena (talvez para fumar um cigarro ou snifar oxigénio) e Yeon Jin decide acompanhar uma mulher que nunca viu e tornar-se uma assassina, com a promessa de vingar a mãe.
Mas, claro, uma assassina deve ser literata e por isso vai à escola. Na escola aparece um rapaz que tem a infelicidade de se apaixonar por ela. Grandes mistérios acontecem, como por exemplo saber se é boa a Matemática e se tem dispensa da prática de Educação Física.
Ah, no meio disto tudo existe o incompetente Choi Tae Yeong, um detetive que aparece no início, não fazendo nada, no meio (talvez para assistir a umas aulas na escola) e no fim, fazendo muito pouco.
Mata-se muita gente, o que é bom para reduzir custos de pessoal, entre cenas bem coreografadas. Numa das cenas percebemos que Min Jin deve ter miopia, pois acerta em tudo o que mexe a longas distâncias, mas de perto é uma desgraça.
No fim, a assassina termina a sair com as amigas e… o fim é tão assustador que parece abrir hipóteses de uma segunda série”!!!!!!
ACTING – há bons atores e atrizes. O papel da Killer K é bem feito, dentro da pouca profundidade da personagem.
MÚSICA – não me recordo de nenhuma.
REWATCH – não! Há incontáveis filmes e séries melhores em vingança, crimes e assassinos e toda a miscelânea de temas que queiramos englobar. Para cenas de ação há melhores.
OVERALL – tem umas cenas interessantes e poderia ser muito interessante. Poder-se-ia condensar num filme de 90’, explorar as partes da história que parecem interessantes e esquecer as demais.
Mais uma vez, não compreendo as justificações para classificações tão altas. Talvez por as ter lido esperasse algo com muita mais qualidade…

girl revenge
Way too generic. Girl's mom gets killed, then she wants revenge. It's a TV movie (split into 3 episodes) so it feels fairly cheap when watching, mostly because of the sound mixing._________________________________________
Stunts - 65/100 | Han Groo doesn't have what it takes to be an action star. She does try and she can take hits though, I'll give her that.
Narrative - 40/100 | Cheap writing will always remain cheap writing.
Fight Choreography - 66/100 | There was an attempt. Just about decent, if I'm being generous.
Enjoyment - 30/100 | C-tier knockoff drama of La Femme Nikita. Only for genre completionists.
