Luck-Key (2016)

As promised, this show certainly delivered many laughs. Yoo Hae-jin's character was put in so many fish-out-of-water situations, there was bound to be laughter.

Without a doubt, Yoo Hae-Jin is the star of the show and that was the biggest plus of the show for me. Without him, the show would probably have looked like a typical rom-com. YHJ played the assassin character with such gusto, enthusiasm, and earnestness, that I was absolutely won over by him by the halfway point of the show, despite his gruff outward appearance.

Lee Joon is good as usual. To be honest, even though his character had swapped lives with YHJ's character, his character development was quite different from that of YHJ's character, so it was not as enjoyable for me.

Jo Yoon-hee does an alright job as the kindly paramedic who gives him shelter and helps him to navigate through his new life.

Overall, a good watch for some light entertainment.

I really enjoyed this movie.
The story is actually quite simple but it worked well and was good.

I loved Yoo Hae Jin here. His character and acting was perfect. As for Lee Joon, his acting was great but I didn't like his character that much. I wish his character was better than that. I would have enjoyed the movie that much or maybe even more if his wasn't here.
But I liked the ending and I maybe wouldn't have enjoyed it that much if he wasn't here.

Anyways, the acting is great, the music suits the movie well.
I would rewatch it and enjoyed it that much I think.
This is just a lovable movie. Perfect if you want to want to watch something light and not think too much.

I clicked on this movie knowing nothing about it except that it was a comedy and was very satisfied with my choice. What started as a classic rags to riches story turned it all on its head when the two worlds start unraveling and the hitman regains his identity. The comedy was especially well done on the hitman’s part as he tries to follow in the footsteps of who he thought was himself, including trying to gain approval from who he thought was his father. That part I found really funny. The ending was sweet and totally not cheesy- which I can be particularly tired of so I was grateful. I think it has rewatchability and all the actors were great and I’d look for them in other roles especially if they were similar to ones like in this movie. Check out Luck Key. I enjoyed watching it and I’m sure you will too.

Well, for starters, I didn’t even bother reading all the reviews when I was about to start watching the film. I remembered that this movie was all I have left in my phone, so I started watching it. I liked Yoo Hae Jin and have watched plenty of his movies, and I have to say this is the best one so far.

Such a heartwarming film with a hint of both comedy and action and a tiny bit of romance. This film taught us about how we need to be grateful for things around us, small or big, and to never give up.

Thank you to all the writers, producers, and directors and especially the actors and actresses for presenting such a great movie. And for the watchers, don’t skip the credits for extra cute scenes. 9,5/10 ⭐️

Funny and with good action scenes, this movie had it all, action, comedy, romance and mystery. The story is very clever, with a paid assassin loosing his memory after falling down in a public bathroom. It's nice to watch the assassin trying to fit in his new life and succeeding becoming a famous actor, when the other man tiptoes around the assassin's costumers and tries to save of his potential victims. Some of the scenes were very humane, others too comical and others too unreal. The performances were the key point of success of this movie, as it supported the whole story and made it entertaining and looking believable. Though, still, there were some clichés and boring scenes, which made me give this movie 7 out of 10.

Fantastic comedy!!! Highly Recommended

●We all have watched at least one movie/drama based on soul swapping or body swapping. so this movie has an identity swap while he suffers amnesia.

●All the fun elements happen action, romance, and comedy happens, when Choi Hyung Wook tries to do what he is good at, which is fighting and using knives in the new supposed life. This all has a great turn of events when he tries to become an actor which is even more hilarious.

●On the other side, after stealing the identity, Yoon Hye Sung Played by Lee Joon is the same as his past self. But he invites trouble without knowing the job of the person he is impersonating.

●Acting by everyone is top-notch, started it mainly because of Lee Joon and loved everyone while watching it. Yoo Hae Jin was an excellent choice to play the killer. Im Ji Yeon was really good, having a job as an emergency caregiver she had a warm heart and helped the ML in other aspects too

●I learned two things from this movie:
1>You cannot change the personality of the person. His inner self will be seen in his daily habits, that how he lives his life _ learned from Lee Joon
A2> person's outer self is not all that we see. It's highly possible that what he does for a living is different from what others see. _ learned from Yoo Hae Jin.

●my favorite scenes were the drama Choi Hyung Wook was shooting.

●Highly recommend for a dose of the comic.
If you don’t have anything to watch, then watch Luck-Key

Not really comedy, not really action

Even while watching this during stay home, I considered dropping it mid way. But I watched till the end, and my opinion didn't change much. Though I have to say, the movie tried to catch up at the end, but it was too late. If it wasn't for Yu Hae Jin, the movie would have been dismissable. But even he couldn't make the movie a good one. The story had potential, but may be, the way it was handled and the miscasting, all doomed the movie to flop. It was a complete mess between comedy, action, and a little bit of romance, but you can 't say any genre worked fine. Again, Yu Hae Jin did his best, but it wasn't enough to make it work. Watch it for the sake of arguing this review, may be you find something I couldn't see.
