Phew, what a ride!
Manager Kim is just a normal average looking middle aged man, a single parent raising a teenage daughter going through her rebellious phase. Problem starts to arise when his daughter Kim Minji is bullied at school by a rich kid. Kim realized his daughter went missing right after the parent meeting with the rich girl’s overbearing parents. Following the leads as he tracks down his daughter, he inadvertently initiated a full blown national security crises when the North Korea noticed his existence and sent an agent to bring him back, which prompted the South Korean Special Missions Department (SMD) to also join the hunt to silence him.
I gotta say I am not a fan of So Jisub cuz I found him to be too expressionless and stoney in Doctor Lawyer. I honestly didnt think that he is great as an actor. But this drama managed to change my view. He presented quite a wide range of emotions despite being depicted as a quiet man of little words and actions as Manager Kim. From stoic to anger to sadness to anxiety, he did it all. Everything changed when his daughter plunged into danger which forced him to break out of his disguise and become the man that he is, the most feared Agent 66.
Along with his retired South Korean agent buddies, the eccentric Park Jincheol and Taekwondo gold medalist Olympian, Seong Hansu, Manager Kim bulldozed one obstacle after another set by the North Korean, the rich kid’s ex-gangster dad Ju Gangchan and South Korean SMD agents led by General Jang. Every episode doesnt disappoint as the audience is presented with fight after fights after fights that could keep me at the edge of my seat. The guy who played Ju Gangchan is extremely handsome, though I was a bit disappointed that despite being recounted as extremely scary as a oldtime gangster, Ju really didnt put up much of a fight against Manager Kim. He got squashed every single time.
I really love Kim’s duo sidekick Park and Seong, they really spice up the vibe with their non-stop banter that are comedic in nature. Damn I am so into the crazy-ass armour body Park Jincheol who yells Rock’n’Roll before each fight. 🤣 I commend the screenwriter for coming up with such comedic characters, and that little monologue of Ju Gangchan’s right hand man Chief Nam as he was sent flying out of the truck by Park was so unexpectedly hilarious.
Hoping that they would come up with Season 2.
