은밀하게 위대하게

Did you watch the webtoon '은밀하게 위대하게'?

Movie ' 은밀하게 위대하게' is based on the Webtoon of the same name by Kang Pool, who had a series of hit Webtoons adapted into films. Many people love this webtoon, so movie is also popular now.

 

 

It attracted about 500,000 moviegoers on the day of its release Wednesday, setting a new record for Korean movies. The previous record holder was "The Theives", which sold roughly 430,000 tickets on its first day last year. 

It is expected to continue its good run.

The time taken for the movie to have one million fans was shorter than for "Transformer: Dark of the Moon"!

 

Three spies from the North are dispatched to a small town in South Korea.

One of the group, Won Ryu-han, an elite spy who has survived a brutal competition, takes on his first mission, which is playing an idiot in disguise.

They grow anxious with no news from the North for a long time. Amid escalating tension on the peninsula as well as their concerns of being forgotten and abandoned, they come to mingle with the locals, gradually assimilating into the neighborhood.

But one day, all of sudden, they are ordered to complete an unexpected but significant mission.

What I like in this movie is that it begins with comedy and drama and magically weaves its way cautiously to a full on spy action drama.
Whats so magical about it is its ability to bring you classic Korean slapstick comedy mixed with some clever lines as it lays out a platform to introduce you to all the major players, sucking you into building a relationship with each character.
It seamlessly brings in the drama piece by piece and as the comedy begins to weave out, its replaced by spy drama and brilliant action scenes.

 

Although the plot is centered on the Korean conflict, the film will give a view of heartwarming humanity to you.

So, I love this movie.

I didn't watch the webtoon. After I watche the movie, I decided to watch the webtoon, too!
