Citizen of a Kind (Simin Deok-hee) 2024

Citizen of a Kind (2024), directed by Park Young-ju, is a South Korean crime-comedy-drama film loosely based on the true story of a middle-aged laundromat owner who helped catch the head of a voice phishing organization in 2016. The movie centers on Deok-hee (played by Ra Mi-ran), an ordinary single mother who falls victim to a sophisticated voice phishing scam after seeking a loan following a fire at her laundry store, losing a significant amount of money. Frustrated by the police's lack of progress on her case, she receives a desperate, unlikely call from the scammer, Jae-min (Gong Myung), who reveals he is a captive forced to run the operation from China and offers to be an informant. Determined to reclaim her money and seek justice, Deok-hee decides to take matters into her own hands. With the help of her close friends and co-workers, Bong-rim (Yeom Hye-ran) and Sook-ja (Jang Yoon-ju), she embarks on an unsanctioned, cross-border mission to Qingdao, China, to track down the criminal organization and its ruthless boss (Lee Moo-saeng) and rescue Jae-min, transforming into an unexpected, resilient "citizen hero." The film blends action, comedy, and drama, offering a critique of the voice phishing epidemic and celebrating the triumph of an ordinary person against large-scale crime. Read More
