A long wait to see this movie for all Ko Hyun Jung work’s fans. Just finished The Queen’s Classroom and I loved it so, looking for more about her I found out Miss Conspirator (2012). It’s the first movie I see from her (she did more dramas than movies), but still, since I didn’t know much about the script, I had no expectations for this thrilling action-comedy crime caper. Directed by Park Chul-kwan, this Korean movie, also widely known as Miss Go, deserves more visibility for its blend of suspense and humor.
The Plot: A Timid Woman Caught in the Middle
Wondering what to tell you not to spoil anything important, the general idea of the movie is showing the life of Chun So Ro, a woman who suffers from serious panic attacks due to apparently a childhood trauma. This has made her stay at home and have no social life, to the point that she has an application on her smartphone to call delivery services instead of talking to people.
She has one only friend that has to emigrate to Japan in order to study so she is left alone. At that point, she has nothing to do but go out. Her first encounter happens to be a really strange nun who asks her for a favor. In that moment, her life changes when she arrives at the place, and the person she was supposed to meet is dead. Suddenly, dangerous gangsters are looking for the one carrying the package. Chun So Ro is inadvertently sucked into the underworld, where she must find a way to navigate a chaotic mess involving crime syndicates and the police.
