The Meaning of Dopeness
I am posting a review for this film, both because it was a lot of fun to watch and because I don’t think it deserves to be represented solely by a one star review. I, myself, have only seen around 400 Korean movies but could easily name 20 of them that are MUCH worse than this one. I am assuming that the previous reviewer was objecting more to the style and content of the movie rather than the quality. Why namedrop heavy critically acclaimed dramas in a review for a lighthearted teen comedy about high school fashion. Because that is what this movie is. And that is all it is trying to be. It’s obviously not shooting for a Grand Bell.

The movie follows sad-sack nerd Woo Ki-myung who is so badly bullied that his mother moves him to Seoul to get away from his daily torment. Entering a high school where fashion is highly important, Ki-myung (with the help of an outrageous best friend and an underground fashion designer who is selling knock-off brand names on the web) reinvents himself as one of the trendy kids and is successful enough to come under fire from the school’s fashion king. Their conflict, while moving the story forward, is not the heart of the movie as this is really a film about what makes a person truly stand out from the crowd. Do the clothes make the man or the man make the clothes.

This movie has some very familiar teen tropes–nerd becomes cool becomes nerd, ugly duckling smart girl becomes beautiful swan, etc. But this film presents them in a fun, kinetic and unique way so they don’t seem tired or re-tread. Won Joo is quite good as the tormented teen who still has a quiet self assurance about him, even as he is being humiliated. Seong-oh Kim is fantastic as the hungry fashion designer turned mentor. I quite enjoyed this film and found it, not only funny, but charming. It doesn’t take itself too seriously and is intentionally goofy at times but that only adds to the fun of it. Plus, I hear all the dope kids like it.

Give This Movie the Chance it Deserves
From the cover poster alone, one can already assume that various comedic antic will ensue throughout this film, but truly this film is so much more.

The spectacular star studded South Korean cast offers so many different personalities to embrace and enjoy, while making the plot of the film fly by within the roughly 2 hours that it is. From the main cast down to the high school students and the judges at the Fashion King competition, they each bring an energy to the movie that makes it so entertaining.

Enough about the characters though, lets get into the FASHION!

Some might find a few of the outfits and styles that come out of this film to be laughable….but that’s the whole point! The manhwa that this movie is based off of is drawn in a very comedic style, with tinges of seriousness embedded within. For them to pull this off they couldn’t just bring the characters to life through phenomenal actors, but bring the quirky slash semi-unrealistic fashion to life as well. Which in my opinion made it all the more enjoyable

This movie was not received as well or given as much attention at the time of it’s release due to a drama of similar name but different plot being released around the same time, but boy did it stand true for me.

Its not a big blockbuster made to win awards, it was a wholesome, heartfelt, underdog story with some artistic flare that deserves much more appreciation than it has received.

HECK I made an IMDB account JUST so I could give it the review it deserves.

Do yourself a favor and give this movie the chance it deserves.
