Korea is coming!!! This is a really nice surprise in the style of Spy with Jason Statham. The film has a great and quite original story about a female secret agent sent on a deadly mission against arms smugglers, and another secret agent is supposed to help her, but he is currently in the hospital and someone else (Kim Yeong-kwang) is sleeping in his office and desperately needs money, so he pretends to be the agent. An excellent action comedy that does not have the typical awkward Asian humor, but is presented very tastefully, and the chemistry between the two main characters works flawlessly. The male lead, even though pretending to be an agent, is luckily not completely clueless (he is a former Marine and an expert in close knife combat), so when it comes to action, it's a real blast. The first hour has a slightly lighter style, but it also offers two decent shootouts. As the film approaches the finale, I was shocked by what the inexperienced director and an unknown actor are delivering! In the finale, the hero goes against the henchmen one on one, and fortunately, it takes a rougher path. Excellent knife duels that will remind you of the cult film The Man from Nowhere. Dynamic, impressive, and fast-paced exchange of moves, exactly why we all love Korea. Unexpectedly very good. 8/10.

I thought Mission Possible, from Merry Christmas studios, was going to be a blast. And it was, in the good sense. I enjoyed the (lack of) skills of the main character, plus it was highly watchable. Nothing challenging, yet suspenseful and action packed. Definitely one of Yeong-kwang Kim’s better roles.
