Cha DoHa is actor Yeo Woon Gwang's manager. She's also his biggest fangirl, so she's living the dream. Though not without static, her life is near perfect. The new bodyguard is messing everything up, however. He has to go! She will make /sure/ he gets fired, she decides.
He isn't cooperating, though. He performs his duties /excellently/. There's no weak spots. Gwang loves him - says they're brothers. Not bros - BROTHER'S. What they don't know is that he's a super-secret agent. Bodyguard to the stars is just his cover. He'll never get fired. He's too perfect. Every mission comes to an end, though. So after he quits, he needs their help with a tricky situation. DoHa out-maneuvers him brilliantly.
M2M is a 2017 release that is rated 88 on AWiki. It is 1 season consisting of 16 65ish-minute episodes. It's cute and forgettable. It's not a serious show. It doesn't take itself seriously, therefore, why should we? M2M does suffer from MAL-content, meaning that there are too many episodes and not enough content. It starts fun but declines before the episode count does. There are fun scenes, silliness, laughter, and interesting plot twists, but in the final debrief it is solidly in the should-have-been-better category., The ending is a non ending. That should have been better as well.
Hey, it's just for fun, and fun it often is. M2M doesn't provoke us to probe deeper truths, cause us to reflect on our choices, nor does it inspire change from within. It's about how this man's man, in a nicely fitting suit, is conquered by this girl-next-door cutie. At first he's about the mission. He's got his cover and nothing about him is genuine. After ups and downs, ins and outs, this peril, and that danger, he arrives at his best tactic: Sincerity. She then 1-ups him by coming up with something even better…
Fangirl. Secret agent. Narcissistic actor. Retired actress & her congressman husband… The cast is a mix of characters. Park Hae-Jin (The Killing Vote, Cheese in the Trap-7.7) is “Kim” Sul-Woo ~ Kim-Guard. He's Han Solo… Man Solo? He operates alone. He doesn't mix business with pleasure. He doesn't fall in love. And he's got a bad feeling about this assignment. Kim Min Jung (she practically stole the show in Mr. Sunshine-9, and that's crazy impressive) plays FL, Cha DoHa. She's no secret agent, but she can pick a lock.
Park Sung Woong is Yeo Woon Gwang. He's a movie star (‘Let me sleep some more.’ “I can't see the stuntmen today. They're always fighting. Let's have a day of peace.”) While he's plenty ego-centric, Gwang is mostly decent. (I love this guy!). He's good to DoHa and he sincerely works hard. He's portrayed a secret agent on film, so he recognizes an impressive man when one is working for him. This Kim-guard hombre is impressive.
Chae Jung An (The King of Pigs, Coffee Prince) plays Song Mi Eun, current congressman's wife, former actress, and Gwang's former girlfriend. Jung Man Shik portrays Prosecutor Lee Dong Hyun. The director is Lee Chang-Min (Welcome to Waikiki) and writer Kim Won-Suk also scripted Descendants of the Sun-8.3.
Here is a romance in which she's staring at the phone wondering if he will call, and he's in a high-stakes shootout. “You know, James Bond? We are gonna keep our dating eachother as a covert mission… It's our secret.” Kim is dating DoHa as part of his cover. She's just part of the mission. DoHa thinks /she's the mission/. Alas, No.
M2M has excitement but it has even more laughs. Right after Doha asks to keep their dating relationship a covert mission, someone in her family asks Kim to meet “secretly and covertly”. Hanging out with Kim-Guard gets the movie star a chance to see action IRL. Gwang attempts to pause a real-life fight with real-life bad guys to warn them to not scar his face! There is always a reason Kim has to remain undercover as Gwang's bodyguard. Like Pacino in the Godfather, they keep pulling him back in. He can't separate himself from Doha, and he's got a /really/ bad feeling about this. “Faith, hope and love are not what saves a person. What saves a person is hatred and rage.” This is said in good fun, but sometimes we do need to get our ire up alittle to get ahead.
M2M didn't stoke my ire or many feelings at all. All in all, with what I now know, would I choose to watch it again for the first time? No. I would skip this one, but it's easy to see why many would enjoy it's low-stress cuteness, which will please many viewers, and there's certainly worse things out there. DoHa and Gwang are truly darling characters and Kim-Guard isn't so shabby, either. Hopefully this will inform your next mission.
