Detectives of Seonam Girls' High School Episode 1

Besides the obvious crimes and teenage girls, I have no idea what this show is about.

 

 

Whoa, we start off bloody as a young school girl (we only see the back of her head whenever the cameraman is NOT focusing on people's legs) throws herself off the roof of the school building.

 

 

Student Ahn Chae Yool (played by Jin Ji Hee) is getting ready for the first day at her new school. Her mom is a Korean Oprah while Dad is a doctor. As Chae Yool leaves her apartment building she is suddenly accosted by a man. He... bites her wrist  and then forces a lollipop into her mouth before walking off.

 

What. The. Hell.

 

The other school girls are gossiping about this same pervert. Apparently Chae Yool isn't his first victim. Nor will she be the last as Chae Yool decides not to report the incident. (Idiot. Hope you've had a tetanus shot.)

 

 

Elsewhere in the school, Korean Velma (played by Kang Min Ah) is calling together her Mystery Inc. gang. (No sign of a large dog anywhere.)

 

Chae Yool's bite starts to give her problems and she is sent to the school's infirmary. Wow, look at the size of that office! Back in my day we didn't even have an infirmary. We just had a closet where the school stashed a couple of bandaids. But I digress... because this show isn't really holding my interest.

 

So Chae Yool is being treated by the school nurse. The woman insists on taking a couple of pictures of the bite mark. The picture is added to Chae Yool's file which is being typed up by one of the Detectives. Chae Yool lays down on a bed for a nap. After awakening from a nightmare, she encounters another woman who claims to be the school nurse. The only school nurse. So who was that first woman who took care of Chae Yool?

 

There's a strange meeting between Chae Yool and the school principal, but since none of these adults are bothering to report this attack to the police, I don't care about this scene.

 

 

Finally it is the end of the school day. As Chae Yool is walking through the hallway she's run into by Korean Daphne (played by Lee Hye Ri). Still no sign of a large dog. Daphne acts like her leg is hurt and makes Chae Yool help her to the gymnasium. This is where Chae Yool is introduced to the Mystery Inc. gang. It's another WTH moment with spotlights, pop music and poses. The other members of the group are Kim Ha Jee (played by Lee Min Ji) and Choi Sun Yoon (played by Stephanie Lee), the imposter nurse from the infirmary. They want Chae Yool to join their gang and help break the Case of the Biting Man.

 

Chae Yool runs for her life.

 

(I don't blame you, Chae Yool. I feel like running myself. There's a whole 30 more minutes to suffer through!)

 

The Biting Man is researching on his computer, finding his next snack from Seonam Girls' High School.

 

The Detectives resort to biting each other in an attempt to convince Chae Yool that they are victims of the pervert like her so they should all gang up together. Chae Yool would have continued to ignore them but then she learns her much hated mother has planted a spy in the school. She joins up with the gang just to spite Korean Oprah.

 

The Biting Man claims his newest victim.

 

 

You may be wondering, what about the jumper at the beginning of the show? I'll leave you with this final picture of Teacher Ha Yeon Joon (played by Kim Min Joon).

 

 

See that gold lighter in his hand? Well there was a gold lighter left behind on the roof after the student rolled off the edge. What's the connection? You'll just have to continue watching the show because I sure as hell won't be.
