I've come across some pretty horrible Korean movies and was trying to stay away from such but I saw a preview on top bad a** action scenes from Korean movies and seen a few snippets of this movie and it peaked my interest. I love love love action movies that involve some sort of fighting so yeah, I had to watch this.

I was a bit skittish about it but in the end I overly enjoyed the main two characters. Their chemistry was truly awesome. I think it was because there was no sappy romance in this anywhere. That usually kills the vibe for me.

There are a few take-aways from this such as how the main ML came to become a private investigator. I don't even know why they had this subject in the movie because he didn't really do any type of PI work. He just so happened to mysteriously know who to go to when he was working with who he thought was another private investigator. There was also a snippet of his life. One minute he's a PI but then we learn he had top notch skills in the military?? I wanted to see more of that.

The main female had no back story either. All we knew was that she was a sacrificial newbie for undercover work for the NSI.

There's one character who always seems useless to me whenever I see him in a drama: Kim Tae Hoon. How does this guy get cast in anything?? It's like his roles are just filler roles. It makes me think that when he auditions for something they will just put something in it for him to just fill that empty space they need to fill.

As I said, I usually try to say away from Korean movies because of how they're done but this is the second movie that I could re-watch.

Fun movie!

Sometimes you want to watch something that will only take a couple of hours of your time. I was concerned at the beginning of this movie, because it didn't suck me in right away, but I'm glad I hung in there. At about the 15-minute mark it really took off.

Kim Young Kwang as Woo Soo Han is really good. He appeared to be such an idiot, but the writers were able to throw in a few surprises that I didn't see coming. I got a couple of clues of his comedic timing in The Secret Life of My Secretary, and there were numerous laugh-out-loud moments in this movie, from him as well as from others in the cast.

The lead actors had excellent chemistry with one another, in an unexpected way. I don't want to give anything away, but suffice it to say, I was glad to hear that they will be making a Mission Possible 2.

Hilarious Action Movie

I really had fun watching this movie from start till the very end. Plot is not unique nor it has any unexpected twists but is actually delivers what should comedy action movie deliver. From one side ridiculous situations that main leads find themselves in, from other, quality fight scenes. (and they were actually reloading guns and not passing through 100 gangsters with 6 bullets as we see in most of the movies)
The most hilarious are the ways male lead finds solutions for the situations that this spy game got him into. And, generally, I really enjoyed the acting of Kim Young Kwang.
Overall I would really recommend watching this movies if you feel bored and want to laugh out loud.

One of the greatest Korean movies I have ever seen. The plot is quite simple yet entertaining and the director/screenwriter (yes this movie was directed and screenwrote by one person, such a talented man!) did a great job at mixing we'll both the comedy and action scenes. The comedy ones were hilarious while the action and fighting ones were enough to keep me at the edge of my seat.
The main two characters had a great chemistry together although they were an unlikely duo. The female lead was more serious and the male lead more goofy but together they were contemplating each other very well.
I don't think there was anything that I disliked about the movie so if you want something funny and easy to watch while also being entertained and surprised by few of the plot twists, go watch this movie!

Fun movie!

STORY:
The story doesn't shine because of its complexity and depth. It is a straightforward spy movie with a simple plot involving many spies and thugs and other gangsters. It is an action packed buddy movie very fast paced but you don't feel like it is missing something. The pace is good and events are unexpected, fun and entertaining.

ACTORS/CHARACTERS:
The main quality of the movie is the numerous characters who allways bring something to the movie, most of the time something funny or a good fighting scene. The main couple is the best of them. Their good chemistry reminded me of Mr and Mrs Smith.

I have watched Kim Young Kwang in the Secret life of my Secretary, Go Ho's starry night and On our wedding day. I feel like he is always the same dumb but caring character who finally does the right thing. Here he had a particular set of skills which gave him a nice dimension. He can be an action hero (anti hero).

First time watching Lee Sun Bin in a lead role. She was surprisingly good.

OST: Nothing special. It supported well the action scene.

REWATCH VALUE: Yes, for the jokes, the fun and the fighting scenes, in particular the last one.

OVERALL: The movie does the job at entertaining the audience. It looks a pretty success in South Korea and there is possibility to make sequels. Highly recommended especially if you like action packed and comedy in movies.

Nice action scenes and nice comedy, both in balance

Honestly, I went into this movie just based on its tags: action, comedy and it delivered what it said it will. I laughed, and I got a good deal of action scenes. There are some plot twists here and there which was nice. Overall, if you want to watch a movie to relax and enjoy and feel good, this is the perfect choice.
I didn't really liked Kim Young Kwang in the only drama I've seen from him (my secret secretary) (completely personal, his acting was good and I liked the show. but I just didn't like the character he played that much) and I think this goofy action type is a better match for him.
I really want to see a second movie with this cast and I think the storyline has the potential for the second movie. And I hope in the second movie we see Lee Sun Bin having a more active role. I feel like her role was a little bit inferior to Kim Young Kwang, and it wasn't very clear whatever she was a rookie or a skilled agent.
