She’s on Duty

In a bustling city where the line between street‑wise grit and adolescent drama blurs, a seasoned police department launches an unlikely operation: planting a trained detective inside a typical high‑school hallway. The plan is simple on paper—protect the teenage daughter of a notorious crime figure while quietly gathering the information needed to keep the broader underworld in check. Yet the environment bristles with lockers, pop‑culture chatter, and the volatile politics of teenage cliques, promising a clash of worlds that feels both tense and oddly comedic.

Chun Jae‑in, an orphan‑raised cop with a reputation for handling herself in any fight, is hand‑picked for the job. Though her instincts scream “back on the beat,” a steadfast uncle in the force nudges her onto the assignment, framing it as a chance to use her natural fighting talent for a purpose beyond the precinct. Reluctant at first, she accepts, trading a badge for a school uniform and stepping into a role that demands more than just physical prowess—it calls for navigating secrecy, trust, and the everyday turbulence of teenage life.

On her first day, Jae‑in is anything but the cool kid the hallways expect; she’s brushed off as a loser and even finds herself sparring with a rowdy gang of girls in the courtyard. The bout, however, quickly earns her a hard‑won sliver of respect and opens the door to a tentative friendship with Seung‑hee, the daughter of the feared Cha Young‑jae. Adding another layer to the mix, a handsome classmate named Kang No‑young—who also happens to be her next‑door neighbor—offers both a tempting crush and the uneasy feeling that their age gap might be more than just a number.

The film balances high‑octane action with the awkward humor of a detective trying to blend in with pop quizzes, lunchroom gossip, and the ever‑present pressure of an undercover mission. As Jae‑in juggles school routines, budding romance, and the ever‑looming threat of her true identity being uncovered, the atmosphere stays charged with curiosity, promising a story where loyalty, identity, and youthful vigor collide in surprising ways.
