(Screened at the 2013 London Korean Film Festival.) One of the biggest Korean films of the year arrives in the form of “Secretly, Greatly”, a spy blockbuster that mixes comedy, thrills and tragedy to entertaining effect. Based on the hugely popular webtoon series “Covertness” by Hun, the film was perhaps surprisingly directed by Jang Cheol Su, best known for the 2010 ultra-dark revenge horror “Bedevilled”. The main draw here is definitely the cast, the film being headlined by three of the country’s biggest up and coming stars, namely actors Kim Soo Hyun (“The Thieves”), Lee Hyun Woo (“To the Beautiful You”) and Park Ki Woong (“War of the Arrows”), playing a trio of young North Korean spies infiltrating a quiet suburb in the south. The film proved a massive hit at the box office, opening with Korea’s first day box office record, and going on to pull in nearly nine million admissions overall.
