NEEDED MORE TIME IN THE CINEMATIC OVEN...!

A South Korean drama from 2020. Ha Yoon-kyung (from Netflix's Extraordinary Attorney Woo) is a newly minted police officer & being the only woman on the force (as evidenced by the promo photo her commander forces her to pose for outside of the station) she becomes the loci of attention. One day after a jog, she runs into a woman at a park who she feels is off but since it's only an intuition she can't act upon, she just watches her disappear w/her young daughter in tow. At the same time we learn of a kidnapping where the criminals want the public to each donate a certain amount to create a large windfall for a welfare center but no further details are given. A dead body is found in an apartment sending Yoon-kyung to investigate which throws unwanted light on her since she had a run-in w/the man after a welfare check but as the investigation goes deeper, there is more to the story which puts poor Yoon-kyung though the wringer (when she becomes the suspect she's suspended) right until the reveal of the true culprit of the crime at film's end. I think this was a very serviceable effort but I wish the particulars of the murder was further heightened since for the most part there's a a slice of life sheen to the narrative proposed at the start but Yoon-Kyung's perf is still winning enough to've kept me engaged enough to watch.

Boring and predictable storyline

The story was pretty limited and also really predictable. I felt like dropping it in half way, it was too boring .But just couldn't help watching to see how it ends. It all about the lady police is being criticized over her gender, crimes evolving women and the welfare lady being too involved with a child, even she invaded her house several times. Really! Who cares that much? What happend in the end doesn't make sense:). But the message that the movie wants to convey through this movie is so heartbreaking.I really don't know about the Korean law but if it is true what was said in this movie then it's a sick law. How can a child can be sent to his/her parents if they are abusive and doesn't matter if they beat his/her till dead. I don't know is it true or the movie is exaggerating it.
