I'm a sucker for South Korean movies and this was such a gem to watch. I don't usually do the switcheroo/body swap movies but I'm so glad I watched this.
The running joke that the assassin, Hyung-Wook was 32 years old cracked me up every single time. It never got old. His succeeding at acting and his attempts at smiling was gold. Too many great scenes for me to list but I never wanted a hired killer to succeed so much. Some of the parts with Jae-Sung did drag a bit but this comedy as a whole was enough to overcome it.
It's a must watch.

Anyone who have watch the original one from Japan in 2012 may like or quite dislike this remake. But me, who really love the original one really like this one too!
The original one by Kenji Uchida is perfect, its well-balanced in comedy, crime and drama with its smart story telling. This Korean version just take the main idea and change the whole story quite a bit but its really good and enjoyable. What I love the most is their focus in the comedy, even though the original one have its funny moment too, the Korean version have take the advantages of the body swap situation to make it more funny and hilarious to watch. This movie make me laughing out loud a lot. Its more lighter than the original one but I bet if you watch both, you will like all of them. Enjoy.

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.
This is such a funny feel good movie! I have not laughed this hard while watching a movie in years! I believe that everybody in the family can enjoy this one. The acting is great and the romance and comedy is pretty well-adjusted as well. I especially love the scenes that deal with the acting on set! The story is one that is well written, and there are a few twists. It deals with two people who switch life roles and get adjusted to each other's lifestyle in hilarious ways. This movie delivers in a big way! Highly recommend!
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!
