Brave Citizen (2023)

revenge fantasy

I thought this was like a cringe and silly romcom, then I saw a clip of the last fight on insta and i was like ooh this isn’t a cheesy romcom

But as I watched this I realized this was about school bullying, and sadly no rom

I’m so sorry but Jun is so hot, I mean he’s psychoness is scary but idk if it’s cuz I know his uwu side, or if I have a crazy side but he’s so hot when he’s mad

And fl is xingback approved

The other teacher screaming don’t take off the mask made me laugh so much I think that was another reason beside the fl fighting that made me wanna watch this but I forgot it

Then SHS hitting Jun and him face slamming the principal was hilarious
And her high kicks were so satisfying
Poor bullied ml when he had his meltdown, it BROKE me


I’m kinda disappointed Jun and HSH didn’t have a love line, I’d love to see them in a drama together


I personally think this lvl of bullying is “fantasy” idk like anyone can record and expose bullies if they’re this severe
So in return it was a fantasy to have a former boxing champion who wanted to live a peaceful life but had to unrealistically beat the heck out of a bully to win
I also loved the comedy in the last fight
Also another aspect of severe bullying, leaving is simple and the easy way out

The com tho made me laugh especially two scenes at the end almost made me cry laughing
Jun was hot eventho he was a psycho and shin hye son eventho i see she always does the same type of character, i liked her here especially the fight scenes , I’d totally watch a drama about her fighting, I’d even watch a second season of this

I was gonna say it’s an 8, but soshimin made it a 9 and the comedy made it 9,5

Social Issue Movie w/ amazing cast and action scenes.

Shin HyeSun is an amazing actor, and she truly was perfect in this role, with the back-and-forth between the meek teacher and the Catman.

There is always an inner debate about whether one should keep quiet so as not to cause issues or raise hell to allow justice. The bullying scenes depicted were cruel and honestly scary. The brazen harassment of a teacher and other students was allowed via power through parents and the school administration.

Though perhaps unrealistic, I did enjoy the notion that the school and even the bully's gang had good in them at the end and were coerced into the sadistic bullying they did since they eventually turned at the end.

The action scenes though were truly the star of this film from the hallway confrontation to the sequence at the end. I love the realistic overpowering of the female lead at times and the way she is able to fight back through technique and will.

Bullies are just over the top

I would suggest to watch this movie atleast once. The story was not that phenomenal, the regular school bullies taking it to the next level and school authorities are just letting them be, until finally someone steps forward. The same old rich power trip continues, but the characters acting w as on point.
I fell in love with the FL, the movie made me realise how pretty one looks when fighting for the right thing.

Hats off to Shin Hye -sun, l was aww struck by her acting and that of Lee Jun young.

Some thing that felt lacking would be Han Soo Kang having a backstory. He has a step mother and some rumours about his family and that was all. It was up to our imagination, to make up as to why he is the way he is.!!

those final punches

If you are on Twitter (X) you can see many instances where students dare to provoke teachers and even fight with them. This movie is, of course, a fictional story about something similar, a teacher who if provoked into fighting with a student. The story is quite simple but unexpected, and the resolution is well prepared and realized. There is action, comedy, drama, all mixed into a cute and yet brutal high school experience. Boy, I am so happy that i am not in high school anymore.

This movie is not a super hero blockbuster, even though at one moment it seemed to be going into superhero direction. I am glad it didn't and that the women strength is depicted as realistically as possibile in the logic of the movie. Also, i just read here on the site that this is based on a webtoon and i must say that the movie gave me that vibe and reminded me on "Lookism" and "Moving". And yes, those final punches were straight from the comics.
.. 요 or should i say Meow!

Loved it!

I loved this sooooo much!! I was searching for a good K movie,then I wanted to try this and I think I found a genre that I love bully male student - female teacher. She is sooooo badass and I loved seeing that student get what he deserves.. I know it's unpopular but the absolute sexual tension between them was 🔥🔥. Tho obviously they are mortal enemies.. I really felt bad so bad for the bullied student! So trigger warning looots of bullying and blood and fights in general. I loved her dual faces, one is a cute airhead teacher and the other is badass boxer cat. This is a 10 for me.. It just hit every good spot

Any program including Shin Hye Sun, I will support. Shin is an outstanding actress, I would love to see her performance in American series/films. Regardless of character, Shin’s performances are realistic; moreover, her aura exemplifies confidence, leadership, boss. (While Shin is one of my favorites, the entire cast was excellent. I was emotionally affected.) Hands down 100 stars.
As an American, I am, however, appalled of the blatant elitist entitlement of the culture. The affluent and powerful have no accountability/conscience; instead, abusive and inhumane. Their end will contrast (Mark 10:31). Unfortunately, humanity is manipulated by money. (1Thimoth 6:10): FOR THE LOVE OF MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL. Disgrace.
IT IS A BAD WIND, THAT NEVER CHANGES

Only thing that was bothering me while watching this movie was
there is 26 year old man who look more like 30+ man pretending to be a school kid
34+ shin hye sun look so younger then this Ajusshi looking school bully
Bully look like 34 while shin hye sun look like mid 20s

I can understand that you casted a big name like Shin hye sun so you don't have money for big ML actor
but could have casted a guy that look younger then his Age to fit in a student role
SHIN HYE SUN did amazing here 20/10 for her Acting

Cada vez que assisto uma produção coreana com o tema bullying fico horrorizada com as cenas de violência, especialmente quando as autoridades escolares são omissas.

A premissa do filme é uma professora temporária contratada para dar aula de ética em um colégio onde o bullying é uma prática comum e os professores são coniventes por omissão. A professora novata é aconselhada pelos mais antigos a ignorar tudo o que vê pelo bem dela e para garantir a tão sonhada efetivação no trabalho. Acontece a professora novata é uma ex-atleta de boxe e além disso dá aula de ética. Fingir que não vê e não fazer nada vai contra o que ela ensina a seus alunos. Ainda mais quando um aluno pede sua ajuda. Inicialmente ela tenta denunciar pelo meios legais e oficiais, mas quando percebe que a omissão das autoridades da escola está ligada a corrupção institucional e ameaças da mãe do principal agressor, ela decide buscar vingança com as próprias mãos, usando uma máscara para punir o agressor do seu aluno.

Assim como o filme pode ser revoltante e desesperador nas cenas de bullying também é catártico quando nossa heroína está descendo a porrada no valentão da escola. Mas apesar disso, acho que o filme peca um pouco no exagero das situações. Especialmente nos momentos finais no ringue de boxe. Não pela luta em si, mas pelo falto daquilo estar acontecendo dentro da escola com o aval do diretor e os professores assistindo. É necessário muita suspensão de descrença para aceitar essas premissas hiperbólicas do filme.

Além disso, Lee Jun Young como adolescente não convenceu. Obviamente ele interpretou um pessoa desprezível de forma brilhante, mas não convenceu como um adolescente desprezível. Não é uma crítica a atuação dele, mas a inadequação ao personagem. Ele é jovem, mas não tem mais cara de adolescente e ao lado da Shin Hye Sun, que fez professora, ele parecia muito mais um cara da mesma faixa etária dela do que um aluno e confesso que isso pesou um pouco para minha imersão na história.

Enfim, um filme para passar raiva com as cenas de violência, a omissão dos professores, da sociedade e a corrupção institucional e com alguns momentos catárticos e algumas boas cenas de luta. No final vemos uma certa sinalização de esperança quando pessoas envolvidas nas agressões decidem romper o silêncio e denunciar como a professora ensinava nas aulas de ética. Mas sinceramente não acho que acrescente muito ao tema, já vi outras produções melhores nesse sentindo.

MUITO BOM

Manooo o sentimento que resume é ódio, a gente dá raiva de ver um sujeito abusando e infernizando a vida dos outro dentro e fora da escola e saindo impune pois é filho de gente poderosa.

Mas temos a satisfação quando a professora dá uma boa surra nele, a vingança é a melhor coisa aqui, pois só depois dela é que veio a justiça da lei.

os atores entregaram bastante com esses personagens.

o Han Su Kang é simplesmente INSUPORTÁVEL até o último segundo, Lee Jun Young entregou com maestria esse personagem abominável.

A Shin Hae Sun como heroína vingativa foi tudooo, entregou muito nas cenas de ação.
