A good Korean action movie.

I was searching around for this a good korean action movie and found this!

Story: This story is REALLY complicated... I had to search up several reviews on this movie online because I just couldn't understand it. Tbh I still don't fully have a tight grasp on this story? But I think that the North Korean agent Pyo Jong Sung was betrayed by his country because Dong ho's father took over and corrupted the Party??? But I really do not know exactly!! It was too complex and honestly I'm not very informed on these kind of topics lol (political, ambassador, agent stuff). So if you're like me (lack of that politic info) then I still recommend this drama but do your research first lol or else you'll be like uhhhhhhhh the whole time lol.

Acting: Jeon Ji Hyun was excellent at acting as the wife. She was Pyo Jong Sung's wife and their marriage is not one of love. Every time they had a conversation it's very cold and you can tell that even though she acts like she's cold hearted she feels hurt since she believed that her husband did not believe her. She finally breaks down when he asks her if shes okay and that he will come and get her no matter what. I don't exactly agree with the synopsis written here because it says he is reluctant to leave her just because she carries his baby. I sincerely think they do have love for each other but the problem is that he is way too loyal to that North Korean party of his. As for Ha Jeong Woo, he nailed it. His acting was super good and he did not fail to impress me at all. I could really feel the pain and love he had for his wife when she died.

Music: omg I never pay attention to music in these movies... I'm too busy worrying about whos gonna die lol

Rewatch Value: nah too complex and sad for me. Maybe for others though.

Overall: If you're looking for a good action drama that's sad this is for you. I recommend.
