Korean Movie Review – 걸캅스 “Girl Cops” (Miss & Mrs. Cops)

Fun Korean crime comedy with action to match the laughs.

  We’re back with another great Korean movie recommendation!  After the rather stale Extreme Job, I was not quite sure how I was going to feel about Miss and Mrs. Cops, though it came highly recommended, as one of the must watch films of 2019!  I am glad I gave it a chance, as not only was the movie extremely funny, but it contained enough action to keep the Asian martial arts fans happy!  So sit back, grab some popcorn and let me introduce to you, Miss and Mrs. Cops.

  Mi-yeong (played by Ra Mi-ran), is a former top cop from an exclusive criminal investigation squad that was made up of Korean female sports stars.   After receiving several commendations for arresting some of Korea’s toughest and most elusive criminals she gave it all up to start a family after getting married, and moved to the departments customer service center.

  Mi-Yeong’s sister in law Ji-hye is also a police detective, who after a botched undercover assignment goes wrong is moved to the customer service center as punishment.

  After a woman visiting the customer service counter leaves her mobile phone and attempts to commit suicide, Mi Yeong and Ji-hye find out that she has been the victim of rape and extortion.  An unidentified group drugged the victim at a posh club in Seoul, filmed the crime, and is threatening to release the video if they do not receive payment.

  With the help of the centers IT technician they team up to locate and apprehend the criminals before the video can be released!  The departments detective squad does not believe the crimes are more important than the drug trafficking cases they are already working on and It is up to solve the case on their own, working under the nose of their by the book supervisor.

  The acting was very well done, and the on-screen gags fit well, and are easily understood by non-Koreans.  For such a heavy topic, even with such a sexual plot there is no sex shown on screen.  If this had been a Hollywood release, there would have to have some thrown in somewhere just to get some t&a on screen, so the film would also  be appropriate for a young adult.

  If you are looking for a good foreign crime comedy, I highly recommend Miss & Mrs. Cops.  You will not be disappointed.

  It is available for sale or rent on the Apple Music store, as well as Amazon Prime Video.   https://www.amazon.com/Miss-Mrs-Cops-Sung-Kyung/dp/B07VZQ3Q1S/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=miss+%26+mrs+cop&qid=1569136070&s=gateway&sr=8-1I was unable to locate a DVD or Blu Ray version.
