Funny enough, but speaking of funny here's come the bad news: details' lack makes the national intelligence service seems like a ordinary security company. Too many things that off. I mean, how a secret agent can say their (true) name blatantly to a (surprise! knowingly) suspected person? How can a fugitive be effortlessly(?) popular among the ahjummas with his (stubbornly) stoic act, stay unidentified? I mean, at least he can disguise himself well, if he tends to mingle with those ahjummas instead of just keep his stoic act alll along, which is make him more stand out on that apartment's neighborhood. I wonder, is this drama really about the national intelligence that related to a Nation? Despite the lack of details, they spread the humour here and there that make this drama somewhat continously entertaining in its each episode. If you looking for a comedic thriller action drama with sprinkles of ahjumma POV, there you go! You should watch this.But if you looking for a real deal scenes about fugitive vs National Intelligence Service agents kind of thing just skip this out. Even the romance scene seems like just a tomato in a burger; insignificant.Regardless, you will be spoiled by both Seo Ji Sub's fatherly charm and cool ex-national security bodyguard action (gun playing, 1vs10 fight, cool cars riding, transparent board of suspicious killer suspects, etc you name it, if this details can makes you in an awe, yes, you're in the right place, yeoreobun!). Jung In Sun is also the real deal, She portray the nuisance ahjumma perfectly. And watchout the ahjumma squad, I think they're the heart of this story that make this drama alive!

Okay, first thing first. I was curious to watch this because of Song Ji Hyo (not a big fan here, but I'm just curious about seeing her acting after the last movie I saw, Code Name Jackal).It's more natural here I think.
I like the flow, fast yet clear. Every actor delivers the role naturally just like it was themself in personal. Not too much, not lacking. Just, right. The chemistry also right. Just right.
It's entertaining, refreshing, but somehow, it just.. flat.
Just like eat an ordinary fast-food meal on your cheat day just because you don't have time to go to a fancy one. Once is enough.
I don't think I have to watch it twice.. or for the worst.. I don't think I will recommend it urgently if you want something very refreshing.
The only thing that quite quirk is the sex scene and another so-called hot scene. It seems more comical than sexy that leave you smirk instead of big laugh. It's more like satire, just like the whole movie.
But,
I guess people really need exaggeration in a movie to fully understand the message; that cheating - no matter how good you are or for whatever the reason is - just make your life uneasy. Just like pyramid scheme.
Nevertheless, people need more movie like this, to make a subtle memory about everyday life problem that seems 'normal', to settle in their brain and make short bright-yelllow-post-it note in deep down their brain memory, that.. cheating (again) is never good eventually. ;)
