The Girl on a Bulldozer

In a gripping story of strength and survival, The Girl on a Bulldozer (2022) follows Goo Hye Young, a rebellious 19-year-old with a fiery temper and no patience for injustice. Played powerfully by rising star Kim Hye Yoon, Hye Young is no ordinary teenager—she’s a young woman scarred by her mother’s death, her father’s failures, and a society that tries to silence her rage. Her world turns upside down when her father, Goo Bon Jin (portrayed by veteran actor Park Hyuk Kwon), falls into a mysterious coma after a shocking accident. With her younger brother to care for and no clear answers from the authorities, Hye Young refuses to accept silence. Determined to uncover the truth, she embarks on a relentless investigation that leads her into the shadows of betrayal, corruption, and buried secrets. Alongside her journey is Goo Hye Jeok, her kind but naïve brother, played by Park Si Woo, and Detective Go Yoo Suk, portrayed by Ye Sung, who may know more than he admits. The film’s tension grows as Hye Young, untrained but unstoppable, commandeers a real bulldozer—symbolizing her raw defiance against a rigged system. Directed by Park Yi Woong, The Girl on a Bulldozer combines elements of Korean mystery drama and social critique. With emotional depth, a strong female lead, and intense performances, this must-watch Korean movie grips audiences from start to finish.
