I just love this movie! The detective is so funny..he is like Jack Sparrow to me : he never means harm but always gets into trouble. The acting is great and the supposedly villain can take your breath away with her beauty.. This is a wonderful combination of silly and funny situations with detective/serious investigations and the result is a must see movie!

Well for one thing you laugh from beginning till the very end. Hadn't seen great quality movie in some time. That I really enjoyed and wasn't disappointed.

The detective has great capabilities of discernment and is investigating serious stuff...you have so much fun as he is seeking the truth. Things are not what they seem.

It is hilariously funny, witty, interesting,plenty action,his sidekick is great. It offers a little bit of everything, you don't get bored.

Actor Kim Myung Min which I loved his role in King of Dramas and Beethoven Virus...has delivered an excellent performance.
Kudos!

The story is all over the place. A generic simple detective mystery gets blown to wide proportions with fake deaths, unnecessary twists and turns and poor special effects. However the first edition of Detective K delivered with strong performances from its main cast - Kim Myung-min as Detective and Oh Dal-su as Han Seo-pil. In terms of establishing these characters and their journey with each other, the film was worth watching. Virtuous Widow gave the audience tons of clever gags that ranged from absurd to extremely clever both verbally and visually. Plus the film casted the typical Sageuk antagonist, Lee Jae-youg in his comfortable role and that’s always a positive.

Imagine Sherlock Holmes as a bumbling goofball, chasing clues in a Joseon Dynasty skirt, and you've got the essence of this hilarious detective flick. Fast-paced action meets slapstick comedy as our awkward genius unravels a conspiracy as tangled as Korean BBQ noodles. Murders, political intrigue, embezzlement, the plight of the poor, and even a dash of Christianity simmer in this cinematic stew, initially seeming like all over the place gets interwoven pretty well at the end.

Our detective's Watson is no stuffy sidekick. Played with infectious charm by Dal-su Oh, he's the comedic yin to the detective's awkward yang. Their bumbling duo act is the heart of the film.

If you're craving a side-splitting laugh with a dash of intrigue and historical flair, this movie hits the spot.

Omgosh this movie is a trip you laugh from beginning to end coz of the detective guy. Hes just hilarious and he keeps getting misunderstood leading him to be confused as a criminal. Hes very bright and fast but everything he does leads him to a much bigger problem. The part where he imitates the guy withvthe deep voice is hilarious. Loved the cast and even mr lim he always plays the bad guy. No romance though
