About This DVD
As the controversy over the Dokdo Island keeps escalating in the real world, a
recent movie called "Ambush Duty" - "She's on Duty" has featured the phrase "Dokdo
is Our Land" as the code words referring to a criminal investigative strategy
used by detectives in the story. The movie, which opened on March 17, has gained
enormous popularity among viewers via word of mouth since its premiere, with the
Dokdo phrase stealing the spotlight.
The investigative strategy is demonstrated in the movie's very first scene
against the backdrop of somber music and the sea off Busan's coast. In the
scene, lead actress Kim Seon-ah, who plays a female detective, is disguised as a
high schooler in order to rescue teenage girls about to be sold to the Japanese
Yakuza as sex slaves. Kim's character, who tries not only to rescue the girls
but also to uproot school violence, has received a favorable response from both
male and female viewers for reviving nostalgic memories about their school days.
Take Stephen Chow's Fight Back to School, re-set it in an all-girl's school in
Korea, and add a sexy female protagonist, and you'll have some idea of what
writer/director Park Kwang-choon (Madeleine)has in store for you in his
entertaining action comedy, She's On Duty!
Kim Seon-ah (S Diary, Wet Dreams) plays a female detective who has to go deep
undercover as a high schooler in order to thwart a plot by the Japanese Yakuza
to traffic teenage girls as sex slaves! Not content to save just the girls from
a life of prostitution, Kim's character even lends a hand in squashing in-school
violence, giving a performance that has earned raves from nostalgic audiences
longing for the "good ol' days" of high school.
Also featuring performances by Gong Yoo (My Tutor Friend), Nam Sang-mi (Too
Beautiful to Lie), and Park Sang-myeon (My Wife is a Gangster), She's On Duty is
one film that goes straight to the head of the class!
