refreshingly uncynical and joyous
The Dude In Me is a charming & hillarious film that is pure and spreads a great message. Surprisingly well directed, which also has some great action sequences. The storyline flowed very well with the events and the performances were impressive. A sweet and touching comedy from South Korea.
Good Enough
The dude inside me was funny. I enjoyed the pace and the way they presented the story. I also love Jung Jin Young in this one and he proved to be a great actor.
However, the scenes with the mother and her ex boyfriend in the body of the young student, although laughable, were a bit off, as it wasn't easy to sympathize and actually imagine that the one talking was not the young student but the mafia boss. However, Jin Young played those scenes masterfully.
Overall, the movie was funny and it had a nice conclusion, as well as good performances.
So, seven out of ten.

The right mix of comedy and action
This film was a great comedy with just the right amount of violence. Absolutely loved Jang Pan Su in Kim Dong Hyun's body and his character development during the two-hour film.
The one thing I loved the most was Jang Pan Su's relationship with Oh Mi Sun while his soul was in a body of a teenage Kim Dong Hyun. Their relationship didn't come off as illegal or perverted because Mi Sun was a middle-aged woman and Pan Su was in a body of a teenager as she set clear boundaries. However, their conversations were really humorous as she talked about their kid and how he ruined her life and left while she was talking to a teenage boy.
Totally recommend.

Totally worth watching!
Think '17 Again' with comedy which hits and a gangster twist. I was caught off guard by not only how funny it is, also the fun action scenes. The performances of Jung Jin-young and Park Sung-woong were brilliant and totally had me bought into the premise. Sung-woong in particular steals the show in the final act of the film.
The only thing which prevents it from getting a perfect score in my opinion is some of the plot points take a lot of suspension of disbelief. However, any gripes with the movie were easy enough to overlook considering how good of a ride it was!
