Girl Cops (aka Mrs & Miss Cops)

 



Hallo! Hallo! Como Estas? Some of the people you might recognize if you decide to watch this movie are:

  • 1)      Wi Ha Joon – The cop from Squid Game and K (not pronounced gay) from Bad and Crazy. I’ll give a review of the above once I watch them. He was also the baseball superstar from 18 again (which is the Korean Series version of Zac Efron’s 17 again – I haven’t watched that one). That leads us to person 2.
  • 2)     Yoon Sang-hyun – the older Hong Dae Young from 18 again.
  • 3)      Lee Sung-kyung – aka our darling Kim Bok Joo (Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo).

Anyways, this movie made me scared of Korea. A bit. But I guess there are psychos everywhere.

The movie starts with a female officer arresting a drug dealer. She does that cool scene Vincenzo (in Vincenzo) and Lee Min Ho (in City Hunter) did where they dumped all their bullets except one and kept shooting blanks till the person confessed. Here, the drug dealer peed himself instead.

She got a commendation, got married to a bar exam multiple time failure, gave birth, was transferred to a communications department and had to grovel to keep her job. She lives with her husband, son and sister-in-law (Kim Bok Joo) who is a hot-tempered detective. 

Bok Joo gets demoted and is moved to the communication department. The place is obviously filled with women whose talents are wasting and their lives are not going smoothly, typical movie stuff.

A lady comes to report something but runs away frightened after some men come in. They follow her to give her the phone but she is hit by a vehicle in front of them. Apparently, she was drugged at a club, raped and videoed. Now, there’s a picture from the video online with "once this gets to 20k likes (or thereabouts) the video drops". Do people do this in Nigeria too? The only ones I know about are those where the person is blackmailed for money and the video released when the person can’t pay. This one seems especially callous and it seems stuff like these happen a lot in Korea, leading to a high suicide rate among such victims (If you watched City Hunter, Da Hye – the president’s daughter (I don’t know her real name), killed herself in real life because of something like this). Generally, Korea has like the 3rd highest suicide rates worldwide.

Anyway, our girls hop on the challenge. There's a whole syndicate behind it. So, there’s this drug that incapacitates people and there’s lots of spy camera, and a tattoo shop involved. Our girls are kidnapped and almost die. Because they are late to work (after almost dying), the Mrs. Cop gets fired. Miss Cop gives a rousing, teary speech to her team and everybody decides to go after the criminals.



Wi Ha Joon is the lead criminal, and he plays it well. Beats up the ladies while shouting, "I don’t beat women". But they are able to fight back and wonder of wonders, Mrs. Cop does that WWE move where you grab the person around the waist and fall back on their neck. Believe me, I felt it.

The story line was well written, but a bit drawn out and they were trying to wring out emotion. The comedy had its highs and lows. One thing I did feel is fear, and I’m going to be checking for spy cameras everywhere whenever I visit Korea, and not take anything from strangers, and hold a taser, and have 119 on speed dial and maybe just not visit Korea. Or maybe I’ll just wear Hanboks (that traditional Korean gown) throughout. You ain’t seeing nothing through that.

LOOT EP. 1

  Welcome to my new happy place! I love this series so much – thus far. I started by downloading one episode to test it out, then downloaded the remaining once I was done with the first. It’s a little less than 30 minutes per episode and while there’s 10 episodes in the season, only 6 (now 8) are out for now. All episodes are standalone though. Story starts with Molly’s 45 th birthday. She’s married to a billionaire and they started out poor together. She got a boat- think Titanic size - for her birthday but at the party later, discovers her husband is cheating on her with his secretary (who was 1 year old when they graduated college). She gets a very painful divorce and 87 billion dollars. Apparently, she didn’t do anything but live rich once they became rich because she doesn’t know she has a charity organization. She gets called in by the very scary but pretty lady who heads the charity because her post traumatic divorce lifestyle is disturbing their reputation and decide...

  Molly’s husband does an interview (remember Meghan and Harry with Oprah- that kind) with his new wife and you know all these people who smile and insult you with very kind words, he’s that kind of person. She gets angry and decides to do one, sorry, ten too.   She preps for the interviews and all but on the interview day, gets scared and cancels. She decides to do a YouTube interview instead, the Hot Table Talk. You eat peppery food and talk. There are 10 levels. You can cool down with beer or milk. From the first bite, our aunty started drinking. You know that sweating and dripping nose, she was experiencing everything. She couldn’t sit. She was just gulping beer, Mixing it with milk. It was bad. Then she started getting angry- after she was drunk. She told them she could buy the studio and burn it down – as she was hopping around. She also told them she could kill them and nothing would happen. It was quite the interview.  She got 8 million views, with a lot of co...

  Molly decides to get involved in the day-to-day work at the charity and first day, she’s almost fainting at 10:04. They only get 5 minutes to talk about their weekend and there’s a lot of work to do. I know she sounds spoilt but after they got rich, she became a stay at home, go to lunch, the spa and cocktails kind of wife, you get. The movie gives an inkling into the lives of rich wives who are not WAGs, what do they do? Her friends who are currently in Miami call her but she can’t go meet them because she doesn’t want to seem unserious so she takes everyone at the office to Miami for a “bonding trip”. They were already a bit peeved about being kidnapped, then there’s a thunderstorm and they have to land in Oklahoma where they get stuck for hours.    They head back to the office but Molly goes to Miami, which she hates because her friends are fake people and it was not worth it. She apologizes after getting back to work and just invites the work people to the res...
