Schoolgirl Detectives[1] (Korean: 선암여고 탐정단; Hanja: 선암女高 探偵團; RR: Seonamyeogo Tamjungdan; lit. Seonam Girls High School Detectives) is a South Korean television series based on the novel of the same title by Park Ha-ik.[2][3] Starring Jin Ji-hee, Kang Min-ah, Lee Hye-ri, Lee Min-ji, Stephanie Lee, and Kim Min-jun, it aired on jTBC from December 16, 2014, to March 17, 2015, for 14 episodes.[4][5]

The series notably featured the first onscreen lesbian kiss on South Korean television.[6][7] A complaint was later filed with the Korea Communications Standards Commission, but civic groups such as LGBT awareness organization Rainbow Action against Sexual Minority Discrimination criticized such deliberations even taking place.[8]

Synopsis

Five students at the Seonam Girls' High School, Ahn Chae-yool (a classy girl, new to the school); Yoon Mi-do (the leader known as the school weirdo); Lee Yee-hee (wannabe actress/idol); Kim Ha-jae (computing expert); Choi Sung-yoon (baker and fellow peacemaker) form a detective club, and set out to solve mysteries around them, some involving bullying, abortion, and suicide.
