Not A Spectacular Effort But A Worthwhile Watch!!
What happens when a South Korean NIS agent joins hands with an ex-gangster & a North Korean spy!!
So, the main reason to watch this show was obviously Shin Ha Kyun, I haven’t seen him indulge in comic roles before. It was really a laughter riot, watching three older men gear up together in their late fifties and fight for justice. There are quite a few loopholes in this show, the storytelling gets bizarre in some places and you question the weak writing. But the actors do their utmost to carry their weight and the storyline somehow becomes surmountable. You will definitely question the insanity behind hiding on an island for ten years, to carry out their mission. But once you get past that insanity, the show is a breezy experience. We have a South Korean agent suffering from menopause, an amnesiac North Korean spy and a friendly next-door ex-gangster. By the time you get past this comic combination, you are in for a ride!!
