Is this movie a blockbuster? No. But it's great for when you want to watch something casual with humor and action. Lee Dong Wook doesn't disappoint; his character is surprisingly afraid of sharp/pointy obects, which gets in the way of his job - he's a cop! He gets "entangled" with a quirky reporter when they are both investigating a drug ring. Hyeon Yeong, the main actress, has an annoying voice but it really matches her quirky personality. These two constantly run into each other and finally have to work together in the investigation, which leads to hilarious scenes. I don't really see romance here; they don't really hook up, and in my opinion, they don't have a lot of sexual chemistry, it's more platonic "I can't believe I have to work with this moron". Which is refreshing, because not every movie has to have a romantic plot. When these two work together everything goes wrong - including throwing molotov cocktails at the gangsters!
