The Korean entertainment industry produces some of the best rom-coms in the world. They did not invent the genre, but they darn well perfected it. They also produce some of the best horror in the world. But when it comes to these sorts of "social justice tales," things get complicated. The concept is brilliant. But, almost from the first scene, the story gets bogged down in Korean social structures. The bully is not merely a bully, he also has powerful parents. Seriously? The female teacher is not merely a teacher, she really really really needs the job. Complicating a simple story never works out. If you want to see this story done right, check out THE SUBSTITUTE 1996. If you want see a Korean "justice" story done right, check out THE MAN FROM NOWHERE, on my list of all-time best films.

Anyone can be a hero!
samanemojtabavi7 December 2023
There is no need for heroes to be surreal.
Although the story is very long, it shows very beautifully that if we are not indifferent to those around us, and accept our responsibility, we are heroes.
There is no need to create imaginary heroes. The hero can be one of us. He just needs to know what he wants from life.
If you are looking for a movie with a real hero, I suggest you watch this movie. It is fun and has good action, but it is unfortunate that these things happen in schools.
Although the exaggeration of the film is a bit too much, it does not reduce the charm of the film, especially the fighting part, which has good excitement.

Okay so i finally watched #BraveCitizen what an outstanding, jaw-dropping and gripping piece of work. The cast did a commendable job, Especially #ShinHaeSun tbh i didn't expect this side of Hae-Sun when i watched brave citizen for the first time, It is a excellent attempt; inspirational movie for all women,
Shin Hae-sun, is a powerhouse of talent. Her dedication towards the movie is much appreciated. It's the best Korean movie ever. Cried a lot at the end part and this movie really touched my heart. Hae-sun is just phenomenal in this movie, undoubtedly the best actress of Korea. Big fan of her, a true legend ❤😭 Best action movies of the year. I recommend you all to watch it! Need more movies like this.
Awesome, the cast and the main so legit

All I can say is, I appreciate all the characters and the story. I know this is a huge topic and story, but they managed to end it well. I really love it when someone genuinely cares to help, especially when everyone else is blind to the injustice and unfairness. In reality, it's rare to find someone who will help despite the risks, which is why others hesitate to lend a hand. I am both amused and proud of someone who is brave enough to stand up, even when nobody else will help. At least she is not blind and indifferent.
I admire a girl who knows how to defend herself, has knowledge of martial arts, and uses it in a positive manner to protect others.
That's why I love this movie and she nail it!

Drama doesnt suit the action experience

The production did not maximize the action scenes. Angles were so dissatisfying. The storyline provoked a vengeful emotions but the resolution did not provide satisfaction to the emotional remorse. The director has missed a lot. There should be a focus on the strong hero. But the movie made a weak lead role. It has a lot of repeated back stories which are not that very relevant. If the problem focused on school bullying, it should resolve it. It focused on a failed father-daughter relationship which also created a confusion on what we should focus our attention to. This movie is just a waste..
Action-packed movie about ass-kicking & fighting bullies

This movie was absolutely phenomenal and stimulating. It's about an abusive, spoiled rich kid and the good-natured teacher who disciplines him using her advanced boxing skills. The student is a horrible sociopath who enjoys hitting his classmates, friends and teachers and has no definition of morality, rules or punishment.
Unlike the others, this teacher decides not to tolerate his bad behavior and does her job humbling him by whooping his ass. She's just too OP and intelligent, and he is no match for her fighting prowess. Overall, it was quite a satisfying movie and I enjoyed seeing the bully get his ass whooped by her.
However, I do think that this plot became hard to believe and lacked suspension of belief towards the end of the story. In reality, if this kid was as powerful and rich as they said he is, there's no way the teacher would get away with hitting him. Not to mention, I'm not sure how the teacher got away with hitting a student (even though that student hit her so many times and also sexually harrassed her). I wish they showed what happened on screen.

It was an amazing movie. I enjoyed it very much. It was very interesting. I loved the cat. It was interesting. This was a lesson for bullies. It is a beautiful thing and shows courage, and that we should not be silent about mistakes, no matter what they are.
I loved the cat's courage and determination to defeat the bully. This is a beautiful thing. It is a lesson for every bully on the planet. We must become like the cat. He is brave and cute. The saddest thing is the grandmother. She is poor. But in the end, the story of the bully ended. It was a very good ending. I loved that.
The ending was satisfactory for all viewers. I loved the ending. I loved everything in the movie. It was a dazzling fire movie 😺✨
