This film essentially begins with the discovery by Chinese intelligence that some weapons intended to be secretly shipped to North Korea had been stolen by some gun smugglers and sent to South Korea instead. Recognizing the impossibility of correcting the situation--and fearing that the South Korean government might hold them responsible for this illegal transfer of goods--Chinese authorities decide to send an agent to South Korea to correct the situation. At least, that's what they hope South Korean officials believe when everything falls apart, as it is certain to happen. So, rather than send one of their best agents, they select a young female trainee under the name of "Yoo Da-hee" (Lee Sun-bin) on this suicidal mission instead. For her part, Yoo Da-hee is unaware of the actual dangers and, upon arriving in Seoul, makes contact with her handler for assistance. What she doesn't realize is that, rather than meeting another Chinese agent, she mistakenly makes contact with an inept private detective named "Woo Su-han" (Kim Young-kwang) who has absolutely no clue about anything. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this film turned out to be a better action-comedy than I initially expected. Admittedly, I would have preferred a bit more comedy here and there but, even so, I enjoyed this film for the most part, and I have rated it accordingly. Slightly above average.
