Dasepo Naughty Girls

At Musseulmo High School, a student known as Poor Girl drifts through the hallways with a stuffed doll strapped to her back, which she calls Poverty. She comes from a very poor family and shares a one room apartment with her chronically ill mother, whose mounting debt weighs heavily on both of them. To help pay her mother's bills, Poor Girl has turned to prostitution, bearing guilt and shame that has driven her to contemplate suicide.

Her one room apartment shelters her chronically ill mother while debt from the family struggle weighs on them. The burden drives Poor Girl to prostitution as a means to pay the bills, and guilt and shame haunt her choices. The possibility of suicide hovers over her as she fights to survive day by day.

A cross-dresser arrives as a client and asks Poor Girl to play sisters with him, subtly shifting her world. She finds a rare connection with him and begins to open up about her troubles and fears. The encounter marks a turning point that introduces new emotional possibilities.

Poor Girl confides in the new client about her secret longing to date Anthony, a classmate whose life of privilege feels distant and unattainable. The conversation reveals the gulf between her world and his, and the ache of unfulfilled desire. The client becomes a confidant and mirror for her guilt and hopes.

Anthony comes from a wealthy background and has adoptive Swiss diplomat parents who provide him a life of comfort and polish. At first his behavior is shallow and materialistic, a shield that hides deeper uncertainties and a longing for something more meaningful. His world is presented as a foil to Poor Girl's struggle.

At a restaurant, Anthony encounters Double Eyes, the sister of Cyclops, and is immediately drawn to her. The moment introduces a romantic possibility that clashes with the existing social codes and expectations at the school. The encounter also signals the start of a more complicated romance.

Anthony falls for Double Eyes almost instantly, unaware of the truth she hides. The attraction exposes the tension between appearance and reality, and the fragility behind her outward persona. This budding romance becomes a focal point of the film's exploration of visibility.

Double Eyes and Cyclops reveal layers of vulnerability behind their outward exteriors, showing that the school outcast and those who seem confident both carry hidden struggles. Their duality informs the film's themes of visibility and perception. The reveal deepens the emotional landscape surrounding Anthony's growing attachment.

The school’s atmosphere shifts as students become obsessed with studying for college entrance exams, even at the expense of dating and normal teenage pleasures. The change signals a larger, unsettling force pulling at priorities and loyalties. It frames the characters' choices within a climate of pressure and uncertainty.

The interwoven relationships of the Poor Girl, Anthony, and Double Eyes unfold with tenderness and tension as class and privilege collide with poverty and longing. Their interactions play out across the school, a restaurant, and private spaces, illustrating how desire and survival intersect. The narrative balances sympathy with candor in its portrayal of difficult choices.

A cameo by Kim Soo-mi appears in a brief but telling scene, adding a sharp, knowing presence to the campus tapestry. The moment punctuates the broader themes without overtly affecting the main plot. It shows how supporting voices enrich the story.

Chung Chung-hoon appears as Homeless, grounding the darker undercurrents in a stark, human reality. Seo Jeong-gyu provides a quiet Announcer who threads through the campus, offering steady, understated commentary. These supporting figures enrich the social fabric of Museulmo High.

The film balances sympathy with candor as it examines how social pressures, personal trauma, and the longing for connection collide within a high school that feels ordinary and uncanny. It leaves viewers with a thoughtful portrait of resilience and vulnerability amid a tense social landscape. The ending emphasizes the complexity of youth navigating a world that is both familiar and strange.
