 Review:

4th Period Murder Mystery is a good movie. Or at least I think so (obviously since I’m the one typing this). I absolutely love a good mystery show/book/movie almost as much as I love my supernatural stuff, so when I came across this on someone’s drama list, I decided to track it down and give it a try. Thankfully, Youtube came to the rescue.

Okay so quick rundown: Kang So-ra plays Da-jeon, a weird girl who seems to be obsessed with true crime novels. One day during school, she walks into a classroom and discovers Jeong-hun, another student and played by Yoo Seung Ho, with blood covering his clothes standing near a body. Da-jeon doesn’t believe Jeong-hun is the killer so she decides to help him figure out who set him up…all within the next 40 mins, which is the time they have left in the period. 0_0

4th Period Murder Mystery has you guessing because there were times when I honestly thought I knew “who-done-it” and I was wrong. There’s a bit of romance (like you could ever get away from that) but it isn’t bad and I don’t believe it gets in the way of the movie.

Besides, it was cute because these kids are supposed to be awkward high schoolers. Anyways, naturally, it takes more than 40 minutes for them to figure out who the real culprit is (but not too much longer) and there is a big showdown where people end up getting hurt. *SPOILERS* no more deaths though.

The thing that was making me mad with this movie was….if you see a dead body, and there’s a knife nearby, why in the world would you pick it up?!!?!?! I mean I wanted to punch Jeong-hun for just being clueless half the time. Seriously kid, haven’t you ever watched a crime drama? I know it’s just a movie but sheesh…
Final Thoughts
If you are into mystery/crime/teenage movies, definitely give this movie a try. If you don’t like that genre but like Yoo Seung Ho, watch this movie.

Enjoy and let me know how you like it!
