everyone looked so young

●HOW I CAME TO IT
I saw a small clip of the movie and it was so funny that I instantly searched for the movie and viewed it. this movie was made in 2005 and here I am appreciating it in lockdown 2021

●STORY
The synopsis says it all that a detective goes undercover to protect a mafia’s daughter and catch him. But she is faced with various school difficulties.

●PLOT VIEW
The movie shows the abilities of detective Cheo Jae In having amazing undercover skills, but being in a high school was challenging for her. She faces trouble while doing the mission as she has to pose as a minor. All the incidents were making the movie delightful and thrilling to watch. I laughed hard when she gets caught by her teacher for carrying the mission but as a minor, she becomes eligible for punishment. I even guessed the storyline ML correctly, he had a nice story but it wasn’t developed wholly as this was a movie with 112 minutes. I wish it were a drama.
It had more friendship details than romance which was delightful.

●ACTING/CAST
Kim Sun Ah as Cheon Jae In did a superb job. She looked fantastic in the school uniform. Her action scenes were well done, it didn’t see, if any stunt double were used(if used any)
Gong Yoo as Gang No Yeong was so youthful. I felt this because I haven't seen his earlier works, and he is as amazing since long ago.
All the supporting actors looked so young as they have all become veteran actors whom we have seen in movies and dramas sometime or the other.

●MUSIC
Bgm was fine but practically no songs in between, there was a song in the end credit but I dropped that out.

●REWATCH
I already rewatch the action sequence and school events. The kissing scene as well (facepalm)

●FAV SCENE
Math exam

●RECOMMENDATION
This movie to for all who love high school action, and detective movies.

●AFTERTHOUGHT
I had seen a similar Indian movie (Main Hoon Na)where a military soldier goes to college pretending as a student to protect a high-ranked official’s daughter. At that time when any new student would get transferred I practically thought that this undercover thing could happen and my teacher said that it is possible but you can distinguish that student by their body language and face. Because actors put on a lot of makeup, to look young and in our schools, makeup wasn’t allowed. Anyways after that day I only kept aside those fantasies for movies/dramas where impossible things could happen.
