Movie Nicknames Investigative Strategy "Dokdo is Our Land"

As the controversy over the Dokdo Islets keeps escalating in the real world, a recent movie called "Ambush Duty" - "She's on Duty" has featured the phrase "Dokdo is Our Land" as the code words referring to a criminal investigative strategy used by detectives in the story. The movie, which opened on March 17, has gained enormous popularity among viewers via word of mouth since its premiere, with the Dokdo phrase stealing the spotlight.

The investigative strategy is demonstrated in the movie's very first scene against the backdrop of somber music and the sea off Busan's coast. In the scene, lead actress Kim Sun-a, who plays a female detective, is disguised as a high schooler in order to rescue teenage girls about to be sold to the Japanese Yakuza as sex slaves. Kim's character, who tries not only to rescue the girls but also to uproot school violence, has received a favorable response from both male and female viewers for reviving nostalgic memories about their school days.
