In a world full of doom and gloom, this was incredibly refreshing. I was not expecting to laugh or cry, but I got plenty of both.
Hard to see how anyone couldn't love this, the acting was on point, and it's human moments were heart felt and touching.
The economic polarity expressed hit home for me and had me intrigued right off the bat, and I have to say the cast suited the roles quite well. A very broad array of emotions came out of me. Great acting all around - the corniness threw me off from what I'm using to seeing out of Korea but I enjoyed the chuckles.
Korean culture has such an elegant aura. 10 stars!

Terrific cast, direction, and writing with wonderful plot flips, themes, and perfect timing. Leokki manages to be funny, sweet, and warmly charming in one delightful film. Strongly recommended.

Started watching with very less expectation. Ended with recommending bunch of friends with link via Whatsapp. Really a jewel. Ignore all the crap and negative reviews. If you have not seen the original, you will love this one.
Luck-key is a remake of the 2012 Japanese film "Key of Life" which is also a good movie to see. I think remakes should bring something new to the story; it should be able to stand alone. This one does.
It's a simple story of an assassin who falls and loses his memory. A poor, unemployed actor swaps identity with him not knowing that he is a criminal. They begin to live out each other's lives.
I love how the lead blossoms in his new life as an actor and the romance that he finds. Yoo Hae-Jin is a fantastic actor and his quiet charm really comes through in this film.
There's action, romance, comedy, and a few really touching moments. What more could you ask for?

A efective comedy. Love how it laughs about the K-Dramas clichés. Yoo Hae- Jin perfomance (as the profesional killer) was my favorite. He is so expressive and is not exactly a hegemonic Korean beauty which makes us love more their role. There was moments that I felt that the character deserved hug.
