Summary: This short Korean movie called 'Jungle Fish' is about the competitive and stringent school environment where students have to conform to in order to excel in their grades which would then lead to success in life. The main character (Kim Soo-Hyun) investigates the rumour where certain students cheated on an examination with his best friend (Hwang Chansung). The students who cheated did it by accident as they were given the same exam papers during their tuition classes and they felt guilty. The guilt became so strong that they acted stubbornly.
Personal thoughts: It was interesting and relatable at first but as the movie progressed, I felt that some scenes were done a bit over-dramatically and the ending was just anti-climatic. The students who cheated felt an immense guilt that they shut themselves out from others. But they were not at wrong so it did not make sense they would act so stubbornly like sending a suicide note and giving the idea that they were going to commit suicide.
Final rating: 5.5/10
