Man on High Heels delivers all the shocks and ultraviolence we’ve come to expect from Korean crime thrillers, but with a truly subversive twist. Yoon (Cha Seungwon, maybe Jang Jin’s favorite star) is the ultimate hard man, a battle-scarred cop who gets his man by any means necessary. But Yoon has a secret: (s)he’s a woman trapped in a man’s body. The body in question – first seen naked in a sauna, as described by scummy gang boss Huh – seems as masculine as they come, but appearances can be deceptive.
Jang’s plot has two main strands: Yoon’s take-down of Boss Huh, whose criminal empire is minded by his brother while Huh is in jail, and the tribulations of female cop Jangmi who nurses a crush on Yoon as she works to trap a serial rapist.
