The story unravels when two puckish and youthful students from the police academy failed gaining interest of any girls in one night at a fancy club and ended up ambling on the street during midnight. While they were guffawing with one another, something striking caught their attention and from then onwards they went deeper and deeper into ultimately solving a heinous crime. It was though not any “never-seen-before” story but how these two young students with discernment jumped into the lions’ den without caring about getting admonished from their higher-ups or getting expelled from their academy, is quite an interesting adventure to enjoy.

Friendship between Ki Joon-Hee Yeol was the most interesting thing to enjoy in this movie. Undoubtedly Ha Neul and Seo Joon were two best choices for playing their designated roles. As per the interviews of these gorgeous young men, they were presented in their most natural look without any make up and sometimes they ended up adlibbing to make their characters more profound. Both of them did tremendous job. Highly commendable. They complemented each other pretty well.

The main charm of the movie is though it focused on one of today’s gruesome crime but it would not totally engross the viewers into its hideousness since the story is actually moulded with light-hearted comedy and fantastic friendship. There were hilarious moments which would make one crack up insanely time to time. Mainly the determination, devotion, diligence and sincerity of youth to move forward with full honesty no matter what hurdles block their path or whatever calamities befall on them was amplified through Ki Joon-He Yeol characters.

Not a single moment of boredom felt. All in all a swashbuckling movie.
For me it’s a relishing one.
