A Korean Buddy Flick
27 May 2021
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.
