Oliveoyl Mar 15 2020 12:14 am "Korean title "Ggoon" is a word usually applied at the end of another word to describe someone as being good or enthusiastic about something."

Remember, Kim Joo Meok in CLOY called Captain Ri Sarang Ggoon 사랑 꿍. Hehehe

Haikamil Feb 29 2020 7:03 am One of the best kmovie thus far! It will leave you to think everything while watching... I initially watched it because of Hyun Bin of course because of my CLOY Sepanx. Its a different one from HB. I enjoyed it better than Confidential Assignment. I hope they'll make a part 2 since they haven't caught Jang.

Jinjoo Jan 13 2020 11:53 pm I just finished watching this movie & it was one of those exciting one full of suspense and if you haven't seen this one with my fave HB you're missing something! HB is so versatile and i also enjoyed the other movie with him Confidential Assignment, both are good! 2 thumbs up!
