I loved our two leads! They were more alike than they realized :P One a "veteran" detective who has experience in the field and one a "wannabe" detective. We see them clash time and time again, the novice is constantly getting shooed away, but that doesn't make him give up - especially when his friend is no in danger! He gets even more involved and the reluctant detective seems to have no choice but to team up with him in order to save his partner. *I feel like I've seen a similar movie before *especially with the baby involved* but I can't recall the name of that one...* Anyways it was lots of fun seeing these two together and see them actually grow on one another :P and I liked the ending too! ^^ These poor guys though XD Having to "beg" their wives so often lol ah, that was funny to see :P
"Women are creatures to be respected." <*snickers* it was so funny why they said that - I actually pitied these dudes a little :P
Music: well suited for a mystery detective solving movie :)
I would definitely re-watch this movie at some point - it's lots of fun!

I loved aboslutely everything about this movie. It's a mixture of comedy & thriller and some movies fail to combine these two genres. But The Accidental Detective does it flawlessly. The comedy felt so natural and you can't help but laugh. I don't think I've ever laughed at a movie that much. There were so many hillarious scenes, I feel like laughing just remembering them!
The first half of the movie was a bit slower than the second one. Most of the comedy elements are in the first one, while in the second, there are a few very intense, nerve-racking secenes. I definitely felt like watching a very good thriller. I don't get scared easily when I watch movies, but that scene when they went to the shop where Yu No was... Man, I started trembling! Very well-made scene!
The plot twists were very nicely done. I couldn't predict that at all, I was very far from the thuth.
Kang Dae Man and Detective Noh are one of the best teams I've ever seen! Both Sung Dong Il and Kwon Sang Woo did a brilliant job portraying their characters and it was obvious that they were having fun filming the movie! Thing is my first time watching Sang Woo and I must say I'm very impressed.
The reason why I'm giving the music 6/10 is not because of the music itself, but these lound sounds... My ears couldn't handle them.
So overall, The Accidental Detective is a brilliant movie which will surely make you laugh. It's a very enjoyable ride, there was no boring second so it's a very easy watch!

I watched this movie and it was a meh for me. I guess it was probably because this was similar to Queen Of Mystery 1 & 2 but the roles were reversed. The main character played the cop in that series but in this movie he played the er-uh-house husband.That series worked because of the pace. This movie....I don't know. It felt like it should've been done up into a series but they just tried to jam everything in one movie. The plot was even weak.
There were things that irritated me like the nagging wife and the husband's demeanor. They made it seem like solving a crime that the husband had no business trying to solve while neglecting his husband duties was more important than anything else.
I was surprised by how his wife was in the end though. It made me want to find if she was in any other action dramas.
Again as I said, this movie was too much for two hours. I guess that's what I have problems with when watching Korean movies. I'm so use to the dramas being evenly paced out which works but in this movie...it didn't work.

the wives were brutal, all the hitting was really annoying, get it was to add to the element of comedy, but i for one didn't find it funny, let alone hilarious. even the verbal abuse was overdone and pissed me off. Lee Mi Ok - Dae Man's wife even hit her son on the head a few times and i saw red. this sh*t slapstick comedy had it hay-day in the early 1800's time to move into the present, where hitting people aint freaking funny - but retarded.
but ignoring the females (which without the violence, u get where they r coming from, as they r worried about supporting and feeding their families. and as working women they want their hubby to do their share around the house - acceptable. but being a mega maniacal, sadistic b*tch isn't the way to go), this was a great movie, very very funny and not a boring moment.
once Detective Noh Tae Soo loosened-up and accepted Dae Man's help - it got way better, the bickering wasn't a deterrent as it added spice to their relationship. totally gonna add to my re-watch list.

WAS GREAT, I LOVE THESE TWO.
THE FIRST EVER DRAMA I SAW
ON PUBLIC TELEVISION WAS
KWON SANG WOO IN "STAIRWAY
TO HEAVEN" HIS TALENT IN THAT
DRAMA BLEW ME AWAY.
LATER A FRIEND TOLD ME ABOUT
THEM BEING AVAILABLE AND THUS
STARTED MY DRAMA DREAM.
THIS MOVIE IS REALLY GREAT.
A FUNNY PART AND A VERY SERIOUS
PART. THEY BLEND SO WELL AS SANG WOO
GETS KICKED AROUND ALL THE TIME.
SEE A DIFFERENT CHARACTER ROLE
AND ENJOYED IT VERY VERY MUCH.
LIKE THE TWO HEADS WORKING
TOGETHER.
IF YOU LIKE A SERIOUS WHO DONE IT
MIXED WITH A GREAT AMOUNT OF
LAUGHS...COME WATCH YOU WON'T
REGRET IT.

Funny movie but what a crappy husband, father and man.
I laughed several times, I was startled, I was surprised by the twists sometimes but, most of all, I was infuriated with the way the movie deals with patriarchy for comedic relief.Sure, let your wife, who's working full time, take care of the babies and all the house chores while you run off solving crimes for free - haha funny.
Sure, let your 5y old kid take care of your shop alone while you run off with your newborn baby on your dangerous adventures - haha funny.
Sure, make fun of your colleague because he does "a woman's task" like doing the dishes - haha funny.
Sure, manipulate your own 5y old kid into talking to your wife in your place because she thought about leaving you after all your bs - haha funny.
Sure, endanger your own life when you're not even a cop leaving your family without even compensation if you die - haha funny.
I don't mind and even prefer movies showing people's flaws, nobody is perfect.
However, I loathe this movie for portraying the wives as nagging castrating women when they're in fact the only responsible and sane ones.
