Luck-Key

Luck-key is a remake of the 2012 Japanese film "Key of Life" which is also a good movie to see. I think remakes should bring something new to the story; it should be able to stand alone. This one does.

It's a simple story of an assassin who falls and loses his memory. A poor, unemployed actor swaps identity with him not knowing that he is a criminal. They begin to live out each other's lives.

I love how the lead blossoms in his new life as an actor and the romance that he finds. Yoo Hae-Jin is a fantastic actor and his quiet charm really comes through in this film.

There's action, romance, comedy, and a few really touching moments. What more could you ask for?

I'm a sucker for South Korean movies and this was such a gem to watch. I don't usually do the switcheroo/body swap movies but I'm so glad I watched this.

The running joke that the assassin, Hyung-Wook was 32 years old cracked me up every single time. It never got old. His succeeding at acting and his attempts at smiling was gold. Too many great scenes for me to list but I never wanted a hired killer to succeed so much. Some of the parts with Jae-Sung did drag a bit but this comedy as a whole was enough to overcome it.

It's a must watch.

A efective comedy. Love how it laughs about the K-Dramas clichés. Yoo Hae- Jin perfomance (as the profesional killer) was my favorite. He is so expressive and is not exactly a hegemonic Korean beauty which makes us love more their role. There was moments that I felt that the character deserved hug.

Anyone who have watch the original one from Japan in 2012 may like or quite dislike this remake. But me, who really love the original one really like this one too!

The original one by Kenji Uchida is perfect, its well-balanced in comedy, crime and drama with its smart story telling. This Korean version just take the main idea and change the whole story quite a bit but its really good and enjoyable. What I love the most is their focus in the comedy, even though the original one have its funny moment too, the Korean version have take the advantages of the body swap situation to make it more funny and hilarious to watch. This movie make me laughing out loud a lot. Its more lighter than the original one but I bet if you watch both, you will like all of them. Enjoy.

Don't let the display photo fool you.. this is a topnotch A grade comedy action and even a bit romance drama.. that is a absolute must watch!

The depth of the two female and males leads is astounding. You will be entertained, you will laugh, you might even tear up at one part, and you will to the characters plights, and be inspired to make a change. There is always deeper meaning in a movie if you look for it, and that is easily true of this gem of a movie.

The storyline is rich with charm and a plot you haven't seen before.. they simply don't make good movies like this anymore in the USA.. thank you Korea!
