The Secret Reunion

Bromantic thriller involving sleeper agents tasked with silencing North Korean defectors. Well-made but mostly by the numbers plot enlivened by Korean favorite Song Kang-Ho (The Host, Memories of Murder) acting among weaker supporting characters. Some nice action scenes with co-lead Kang Dong-won keep things moving at a brisk enough pace. Story doesn't aim very high and wraps with a finish that's a little too tidy, despite the two hour runtime.

Forgettable but ultimately fun, probably for Korean thriller fans only. Jang Hoon also directed the similarly competent Korean War drama The Front Line (2011).

I watched this film in theaters at AMC with some of my relatives, and I must say it was pretty entertaining. Now did it beat my expectations? That I would have to say no, but I still enjoyed this film and was worth watching it on the big screen. I don't really like the actor Kang-ho Song he seems to play the same obnoxious and very uncool character in just about every movie he is in so far but I must say he fit right in with his character. He plays a agent of the National Intelligence Service. Kang Dong-won did a alright job playing the North Korean spy although he was more of a way to get younger teens to go watch the movie. Lot of the entertainment comes from both character acting all buddy buddy at first just so they can dig at one another for information, and also enjoyed there awkward bonding later on. This isn't one of those groundbreaking movies from Korea or anything, but it was well worth the time to watch.

7.8/10

I love the movie concept how it shows the brotherhood and Partnership in it. It is likely impossible to think about a bonding between North Korean Spy and South Korean NSI agent, however I amazed by the way this movie beautifully shown this. Not only about agent spy things but also family bondings, relationship, longings for their family are shown. The actions are amazing and comedy scenes are few but these are enough to make anyone laugh. I can say, it is combination of spy agent, comedy movie.

I really enjoyed this one. It has good action, some funny scenes, and a decent plot, but what sets it apart for me is the heartwarming friendship that eventually grows between the two main caharacters, even though they are initially enemies. Way too many Korean crime, thriller, and action movies, while well-written, tend to be all gloom and doom, which gets really emotionally tiring for me after a while, so I really appreciate this one for not going that route. Don't get me wrong, there's graphic violence in this one at times, but even so, it is unmistakenly a feel good movie. Highly recommended.

Loved this movie A very feel good movie with full of entertainment ,you will not feel bore in whole movie,have soo many elements Drama,action,witty,realistic loved chemistry between gang dong-woo & song kang hu both act Awesome
