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.

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

A true comedy
So many movies are rated as a comedy even if only one funny thing happens in the whole thing. This movie was a true comedy. It reminded me somewhat of the American movie - True Lies. What happens when your spouse isn't what you thought he/she was?I appreciate that the comedy wasn't over the top. The action sequences were good and the relationship between the husband and wife was something I think anyone that has ever been married can relate to. Who hasn't thought of their spouse at one time or another, "What an idiot."?

Can’t judge a book by it’s cover.
I had no expectations at the start of the movie. I busted out laughing the first 5 minutes thinking okay let’s see what’s up here. I checked out who the leads were and they both had a good drama resume’. Interesting opening to see their roles were switched. The wife being the “dude” in her job and the quiet house husband. Her guys being suspicious and watching out for her was the slow peeling back of the onion layers and I said to myself- okay we got some action here! Yes I recommend this as a watch and it was quite entertaining 👍👍👍Was this review helpful to you?
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 bossThen 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

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