My Girlfriend is an Agent (2009)

After this and You Are My Pet, I must say, Kim Ha-neul's sexy poster pose game is on point. Then later, someone will change the posters for absolutely no reason and this review will age like milk. Oh well. Anyway, that's an incredibly photogenic person right there.

Okay I have no idea who wrote that shit but I am VERY pleased at the mess it results into. Definitely my drift.

Except it’s not even that much of a mess, this movie’s actually pretty good and hella entertaining.

Well... for an action movie anyway.

But the action’s terrible.

So, it’s a good action movie with shitty action.

What?!

Stunts - 72/100

Narrative - 69/100 | It’s South Korea’s Mr. And Ms. Smith. The plot, attention to clever details, and characters kinda make this work.

Fight Choreography - 47/100 | You can clearly see that the villain’s got some moves but they over-edited everything to death in this movie. Like I said, shitty action. But daring stunts, somewhat.

Enjoyment - 75/100 | Some parts of this movie are in “so bad it’s good” territory but the thing is, other parts are genuinely good. I’m a bit confused. I like how the main bad guy is a Russian woman who speaks Russian to South Koreans all the time and doesn’t give a damn that nearly nobody understands.

I should mention that this aligned pretty well with my (sometimes shitty) tastes. I just thought the sense-to-nonsense ratio in this film was quite on target (as if it was in any way measurable… 👀)

Action-filled movie and genuinely hilarious

This movie felt like Korean version of James Bond 007 movie with mostly the female lead doing the action scenes.

The storyline is simple yet intriguing. Seeing both leads so clueless about each other's real identity is so cute and funny. I also loved that the comedy didn't ruin the action scenes and it was just simply funny and natural. The leads really pulled it off and the support roles also made the movie better.

This is a bit old of a movie but is still relatable somehow. It's one of those feel good movies I definitely recommend when you want to unwind.
