The first "Secret Agent"
Douban: 8.7
Starring: Huang Jungmin / Lee Singmin / Zhao Zhenxiong
Film review: After watching the whole film, I was surprised that this undercover spy war film with almost no action scenes actually made people's blood boil, nervous like sitting on pins and needles, and there was an endless aftertaste after watching it. A group of old drama bones play the saber rattling in the literary drama beyond the exaggerated fights in the action scenes, which is really enjoyable. The rivalry and metaphors of the two leading actors are amazing. Hwang Jung-min's agent Black Jinxing and North Korea's foreign exchange chief Director Lee both have touching character arcs. From suspicion, temptation, trust, to finally sympathy, they used the change of character relationship as a metaphor for the change in the North-South relations between North and South Korea. The most moving part comes from the scene at the ending, where the two are full of voices, crowds, clear camps, and deep jealousy of each other.
The second "Iron Rain"
Douban: 8.2
Starring: Jung Yusheng / Guo Duyuan / Kim Jiasu
Film review: The portrayal of the national game and political struggle is still somewhat faceted and simple, and the logic of the characters is not complete. But the feelings between people are very well expressed, whether it is the constant comradeship between the north and the south, or the idealism and human touch of politicians in speculation, they are enough to move people. I have to say that movies are an excellent channel for exporting national culture, whether it is the GD of this film or Li Xiaoli in "Secret Agent", Korean directors are really good at bringing representative elements of their own culture to the market. Of course, on the other hand, the narrator's perspective will also have a filter on the country, and this impure thing must be independently thought and carefully distinguished. All in all, it's not bad, out of 10 can score a 7, add an extra point to make a four-star!
Part 3 "Helping Together 2: International"
Douban: 7.9
Starring: Hyun Bin / Yoo Hae-jin / Lin Yoona
Film Review: Although it is a pure entertainment action film under the tide of IP, the script of this film has made great efforts, and while continuing the dramatic conflicts such as the culture and politics of the north and the south that are rooted in the characters of the previous work, it has been further upgraded, and has always been used as the core driving force for narrative advancement. The whole film has hot and exciting action scenes, and there are funny plots of comedy and humor! Hyun Bin is handsome, pulled Daniel Haney, plus Liu Haejin became the "Avengers", drinking and eating barbecue is really laughing dead! Lin Yun'er and Jung Yunhe played the sister-in-law and wife, definitely worth a star! Movies are just going to be so direct and good-looking! So in general, it's good as a sequel, at least I want to watch the third one. PS: While Chinese films are still making themselves happy in the main theme and comedy, Korean films have begun to internationalize!
The fourth "Hidden and Great"
Douban: 7.9
Starring: Kim so-hyun / Lee Hyun-woo / Park Ki-woong
Film review: It is undeniable that the history of South Korea is really easy to shoot, and the "spy war theme" is also full of Korean drama routines, funny, action, and warm. Three spies from North Korea have been guarding the original intention, but the task they finally received is indeed suicidal, which is a heartbreaking setting. Dongjiu hid in the crowd as a fool, pretending to fall from the stairs every day and being beaten by children in order to be able to pretend to be an ordinary person waiting for the task. Hai Zhen was influenced by Dongjiu and also became an excellent spy. When Dongjiu parted with the neighbors who had lived for two years, it was too tearful, and the director did not arrange it, which is actually quite good! In addition, the whole film action scenes are really good, flowing clouds and water, giving the quality of professional spies!
Part 5 "The Hunt"
Douban: 7.7
Starring: Lee Jung-jae / Jung Yu-seung / Jeon Hye-jin
Film review: Personally, I think that "Hunting" is better than last year's "Ministers of Nanshan". Against the backdrop of Korean politics, the story of the assassination of South Korean President Chun Doo-hwan. One is a North Korean spy Dong Lim (Director Park), the other is a representative of the opposition of the current South Korean government (Director Kim), the two people from the initial mutual investigation, to the later joint and finally Park's anti-water, the plot develops quickly and excitingly. Mission Impossible, a big reversal, not forgetting the belief of the original intention, always guarding the two bureau chiefs Kim and Park, Kim did not understand Park's final anti-water, which is also the reason why Director Park, who "always believed in negotiating to resolve the North Korean dispute", finally let President Han go... Director Lee Jung-jae's debut, the plot and the performance of the drama bones are very exciting!
