the perfect movie when you're bored
If you need some time to kill and you don't want to invest into a new drama, then look no further because Mission Possible is the one. The story is nothing special, typical crime plot with undercover agents etc. The story really shines with the leads, especially the ML. He's one of the few actors that can go from goofy to serious in a second, as seen in Guardians & Hello Me. He does the same thing here, as casually drops Red Velvet references while trying to save Korea from arms trafficking. The chemistry between the leads is alright, I liked the FL, but I think the ML really shined for me. I think my favorite scene in the movie was when one of the villians was revealed to be a Yeri Stan. All in all, it's your basic comedy action film with a lot of humor, some great acting, and a ton of red velvet references.Was this review helpful to you?

Excessive violent deaths but quirky humor with clever action sequences
Male lead really sells it ! but: Only 1 episode ? It ended with an obvious "stay tuned for the next episode" vibe. Incredibly violent & bloody but great action sequences, though a bit too drawn out. confused as to why this wasn't a series. it's not my fav genre (has excessive violent deaths) but the were some very clever action sequences and some fun quirky humor. less points for being only 1 EpisodeWas this review helpful to you?

Lively and Enjoyable
Evidently, "Mission: Impossible" is the inspiration for this movie. However, the film is quite entertaining; if you want to see something funny and vivacious, this is undoubtedly the movie for you. The story's comedic elements give it its own distinctiveness while still adhering to the plot's basic structure of a spy mission gone wrong. The fight scene at the end was also enjoyable to me because the main male character, who is more of a combat-trained military agent than a detective or investigator, finally got to demonstrate his fighting prowess.However, nothing has happened since there were discussions about producing a second Mission: Possible film. I have not given up on it yet; if it happens, I will be happy to watch it.

A wild ride
Totally enjoyed this over the top spoof of a spy story.
The two leads play off each other well and the humour is fast and often slapstick. Not too be taken seriously, however, the fight scenes are very entertaining and despite a high body count it is not a gore fest.
The humour is not sophisticated and is often accompanied by a sight gag. I felt engaged and liked their characters.
The FL, Yoo Da Hee, played by Lee Sun Bin is suitably ernest and despite her small stature is quite fearless and brave. The ML, Woo Su Han played by Kim Young Kwang is, seemingly, naive and focussed on money but ends up with a surprising background that saves the story. I like this couples sparring remarks and later support and protection.
There is a Mission2: Possible in the offing so I will be waiting.....

I've come across some pretty horrible Korean movies and was trying to stay away from such but I saw a preview on top bad a** action scenes from Korean movies and seen a few snippets of this movie and it peaked my interest. I love love love action movies that involve some sort of fighting so yeah, I had to watch this.I was a bit skittish about it but in the end I overly enjoyed the main two characters. Their chemistry was truly awesome. I think it was because there was no sappy romance in this anywhere. That usually kills the vibe for me.
There are a few take-aways from this such as how the main ML came to become a private investigator. I don't even know why they had this subject in the movie because he didn't really do any type of PI work. He just so happened to mysteriously know who to go to when he was working with who he thought was another private investigator. There was also a snippet of his life. One minute he's a PI but then we learn he had top notch skills in the military?? I wanted to see more of that.
The main female had no back story either. All we knew was that she was a sacrificial newbie for undercover work for the NSI.
There's one character who always seems useless to me whenever I see him in a drama: Kim Tae Hoon. How does this guy get cast in anything?? It's like his roles are just filler roles. It makes me think that when he auditions for something they will just put something in it for him to just fill that empty space they need to fill.
As I said, I usually try to say away from Korean movies because of how they're done but this is the second movie that I could re-watch.

Mission: Possible – Silly? Just on the surface
It’s always satisfying to finish a movie that genuinely makes you laugh! Mission: Possible takes us on a journey full of misunderstandings and an unlikely duo who somehow manage to turn the impossible into possible — all thanks to their clumsy methods.Yoo Da-Hui (played by Lee Sun-Bin) is a Chinese agent sent on a mission as a scapegoat. Due to a mix-up, she ends up teaming up with private detective Woo Su-Han (played by Kim Young-Kwang), an actor who’s mastered the art of playing goofy characters — though in the end, the only thing silly about him is his face.
This film strikes the perfect balance between action and comedy, with humor that flows naturally. There’s no romance in the storyline, and honestly, I didn’t miss it at all — watching them constantly annoy each other was more than enough entertainment!
Definitely a movie I’ll be rewatching!

Fun movie!
Sometimes you want to watch something that will only take a couple of hours of your time. I was concerned at the beginning of this movie, because it didn't suck me in right away, but I'm glad I hung in there. At about the 15-minute mark it really took off.Kim Young Kwang as Woo Soo Han is really good. He appeared to be such an idiot, but the writers were able to throw in a few surprises that I didn't see coming. I got a couple of clues of his comedic timing in The Secret Life of My Secretary, and there were numerous laugh-out-loud moments in this movie, from him as well as from others in the cast.
The lead actors had excellent chemistry with one another, in an unexpected way. I don't want to give anything away, but suffice it to say, I was glad to hear that they will be making a Mission Possible 2.

What a fun ride
Oh how great was that. I agree with the other reviewers who felt a series was definitely needed. The ending was crying out to be continued so fingers crossed that someone who makes these decisions realises what a fun movie this was. Actually I feel that they were just getting into their characters in the second half and that the possibilities would be endless for a cast who clearly understood the importance of timing so well. Loved every bit of this and I was genuinely sorry when it ended. Please, please please give us more. It'd be well worth it.Was this review helpful to you?
Hilarious Action Movie
I really had fun watching this movie from start till the very end. Plot is not unique nor it has any unexpected twists but is actually delivers what should comedy action movie deliver. From one side ridiculous situations that main leads find themselves in, from other, quality fight scenes. (and they were actually reloading guns and not passing through 100 gangsters with 6 bullets as we see in most of the movies)The most hilarious are the ways male lead finds solutions for the situations that this spy game got him into. And, generally, I really enjoyed the acting of Kim Young Kwang.
Overall I would really recommend watching this movies if you feel bored and want to laugh out loud.

The main two characters had a great chemistry together although they were an unlikely duo. The female lead was more serious and the male lead more goofy but together they were contemplating each other very well.
I don't think there was anything that I disliked about the movie so if you want something funny and easy to watch while also being entertained and surprised by few of the plot twists, go watch this movie!
