It's entertaining - not just for the "whodunit" aspect but for the view into the Korean psyche.
We get a peek into Korean humor and gender roles. Also how hierarchy still has a strong role in daily interactions.
There is a nice balance of action and humor with enough violence to keep ones interest - although the violence is moderate and fairly toned down by Korean standards.
Story development is nicely balanced too. We are drawn into the buddy-buddy, husband-wife, and co-worker relationships. Are there clues there to help solve the crimes?
This is one of the more satisfying flicks to watch while being stuck indoors due to covid.

A Korean Buddy Flick
GOOD COMEDY WITH GREAT MYSTERY.
This movie is very entertrained and comical but at the same time little bit boring but the thrilling elements works so you dont get disappointed after the end.
The plot was similar to many korean movies and the chemistry between leads was good but the characterisation of leads were very typical and apart from crime mystery the story lacks engaging screenplay which makes the movie too much typical family drama.
Comedy works and the crime investigation was also works and performances of the cast were also ok. If you can endure a little bit drama then this was a definite watch for mystery crime movie lovers.
Entertaining, funny, and scary at the same time
The story is bery interesting, the plot twist at the end just makes u think, oh this is not an ordinary crime story. Love the chemistry between Kwon Sang Wu and Su Dong Il, Both of u did a great job
