User Reviews

Funny

The main joke about the spy and his unknowing wife does manage to carry this show through the movie. There is enough fun action in Thailand and Korea to sustain the story. Good action in the restaurant. The casting is good. Sol Kyung-gu acts well as the spy. Daniel Henney does sleazy enough as the villain and Moon So-ri is not annoying as the wife. This could have been painful or unfunny in other hands but here it was enjoyable and feel good.
