User Reviews

Acceptable sequel.

I finally saw My Wife is a Gangster 2 and enjoyed it a lot even though I didn't have the luxury of English subtitles and had to figure out what was going on, which thankfully, wasn't very hard. The story filled with clichés mostly revolves around Shin Eun-Gyeong's character having lost her memory after falling from a building during a fight (Don't ask!) and trying to remember who she was, gradually stumbling upon clues and elements from her past. A lot of characters make a comeback from the first one so it still feels true to the original, but I don't think some of them were used enough or appropriately. The movie wasn't filled with fighting as the trailer seemed to suggest, there rather was slightly less fight scenes than in the first one I would say. There's still a large dose of action, but those of you expecting something action packed which this series isn't might be deceived. Worth noting, Zhang Ziyi makes a cameo appearance at some point which I thought was very cool :) In the end, it's a pretty entertaining movie which follows the secret Korean law which stipulates there must be at least one sad moment, no matter how untimely plugged it might be, and as far as sequels go, it gets a good score. It wasn't as fresh or funny as the original, but give it a chance if you're a fan of the genre and don't miss it if you loved the first one.
