comedy is comedying

i went into watching this with no high expectations, but...
- comedy bits weren't over the top
- full of action
- great cinematography
- easy to follow storytelling
- too predictable antagonist, but i can let that one slide
- happy ending
i would call it a great film for movie night.

A Good Action, Spy, Thriller

This is a movie with many familiar kdrama faces and then some. The actors, made it all seem effortless but entertaining at the same time. Hwang Jung Min doesn’t make many films or dramas, but when he does star in a show, it’s always worth a look.

Overall, it was a decent spy/action/thriller that starts to hit its straps around the 45 minute mark. Up until then, it was a bit ho hum for me and not all that interesting except, however, I knew at some point, the leads would start to deliver - and they do.

This movie had a decent budget and the action scenes bear this out. The movie sets were utilised well - not too many, so the budget was used effectively.

Yum Jung Ah as the jaded detective captain who relies on her house husband turned in a very relatable performance. Jeon Hye Jin turned in another good performance and I would like to see her in more roles like this one.

At the end of the day, it was a movie well worth an afternoon watch on the weekend. Grab some lunch or popcorn and a drink, settle in and enjoy the ride ?

Fun but forgettable

Not gonna lie. I had fun watching this movie but ultimately this seems like one of those average Netflix movies. I guess what bothers me the most is that the movie resembles Hollywood action comedies a little too much and I wouldn't want Korean movies going that direction.

In terms of comedy and action, the film provides enough material. I didn't find some jokes funny at all, but others made me laugh out loud. Also, the production is at a high level so we have some very good action scenes. The plot is interesting, but forced. Many events happen without any logic, but so that the story can take the desired course. This is an ideal movie for those who want to refresh a boring evening, but it is not a movie that will be on any top lists.

What the hell did I waste time watching?
It had a strong start, we all love an independent woman in the police force that is a bit wacky. She was my favourite no nonsense cut the chase. She proves she deserves her place on the force.
Totally misjudged the husband believing he is a pushover to learn he isn't and can bet out of sticky situations.
The middle was absolutely not worth it as it turned into who can catch the cheating husband. I spent a lot of time skipping for my sanity
The ending was so average in every aspect.
I had no clue what the plot was apart from money South Korea and missiles

sometimes one needs a total easygoing brainless watch

the “gender role switch” was really funny, he was a househusband, she was a total kickass cop boss
Then it got funny with the misunderstanding , and the jokes were cheesy but fun

It could’ve been better, like the fighting and choreography were too good it felt obv staged
The bad guy stuff, I mean yeah sure no one really pays attention to what the big bad is doing, lol it’s either always weapons or money laundering
it's also nice to see a normally happily married couple, she wasn't hurt and wanted revenge, she was jealous and wanted to make sure it's not true cuz she genuinely loved him and he loved her


It lacked in the overall scheme, the characters were just the needed ones, and two against a hundred is a bit overboard , but as a fast easy watch, it was refreshing to atleast have cool characters

More exciting than it looks!

It's surprisingly more exciting than it looks! I laughed in first 2 minutes- and thought its lighthearted comedy, which it is- but it's not boring. It actually pretty entertaining and exciting.

I love the pacing. Sometimes, Kmovie tends to start off really slow, and this one has great pacing overall.

It's a lovely one where you want to simply relax and have a chill movie night, no need to overstress over plot while still enjoying some action

it’s so good

just give it a chance and ignore the ratings.
it’s pretty funny also. gives you anxiety in some scenes.
the couple are totally meant for eachother and seriously you will also love the romance later on. their romance is not a typical romance by it definitely gives you joy and makes you happy ton see.

just trying to fill the character limit at this point but yeah, please watch it I recommend it and if you have any movie suggestions please reply and let me know. Shows these days are such a drag to watch for me

This review may contain spoilers

worth watching

didn't even noticed it came out today ahah saw the date here, random watch on Netflix tonight

I wasn't expecting much, but I enjoyed this movie. I read the synopsis and I thought it could be interesting
- I think the idea of the plot in general is interesting.
- the acting was good
- had some funny moments
- For me a bit slow at first and I was waiting for her to find out
- I enjoyed the action and fighting scenes
- I like the part when they rescued the guy. I was like how the hell will they out, but the plan was pretty perfect after all. I'm still sad he died. When he said his wife disappeared after ML stopped working... I was like well damn! but later on it all made sense why it seemed to easy to get him out
- I was truly shocked with the plot twist for the villain, didn't saw it coming
- the ending was okay

It's a good watch to pass time in my opinion, I would recommand
