Leokki

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.

Terrific cast, direction, and writing with wonderful plot flips, themes, and perfect timing. Leokki manages to be funny, sweet, and warmly charming in one delightful film. Strongly recommended.

Started watching with very less expectation. Ended with recommending bunch of friends with link via Whatsapp. Really a jewel. Ignore all the crap and negative reviews. If you have not seen the original, you will love this one.

In a world full of doom and gloom, this was incredibly refreshing. I was not expecting to laugh or cry, but I got plenty of both.

Hard to see how anyone couldn't love this, the acting was on point, and it's human moments were heart felt and touching.

The economic polarity expressed hit home for me and had me intrigued right off the bat, and I have to say the cast suited the roles quite well. A very broad array of emotions came out of me. Great acting all around - the corniness threw me off from what I'm using to seeing out of Korea but I enjoyed the chuckles.

Korean culture has such an elegant aura. 10 stars!
