I stumbled upon this movie during a casual search, and when I saw the synopsis about a former agent and his detective wife, I got curious to see how and when their missions would cross paths — just like the title suggests.

The film opens with the everyday life of Park Gang-Mu (played by Hwang Jung Min). He’s a devoted husband: cleans the house, cooks, does the laundry, and takes care of his wife. He also works as a kindergarten driver. His goofy personality hides his past surprisingly well. Meanwhile, Kang Mi-Seon (played by Yeom Jung Ah) fights crime in a mostly male team. She’s bold and fearless, shaped by her past as a national shooting athlete and strengthened by her job, where being sharp and tough seems like a must.

As a couple, they give off that vibe of two people who’ve lived together for years but still know so little about each other. Everything changes when, during one of Park Gang-Mu’s most mundane moments, someone from his past shows up and pulls him back into a web of crime he knows all too well. Things get even more interesting when Kang Mi-Seon’s coworkers misinterpret the encounter and start speculating that her husband is having an affair — those scenes are honestly hilarious.

When the past resurfaces and a supposed affair comes into play, their missions cross from totally different angles. It’s fun and engaging, and they managed to balance action and humor really well throughout the story. I did wish the movie was a bit longer and included a clever flashback showing how they met — the exact moment their lives crossed paths. I personally missed that. Oh, and that final reference? Absolutely hilarious 🤣🤣🤣
