Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Hulkeasexo it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

Beulah Bram A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

TwentyCalls I had recently watched a decent string of Korean movies like 'Over the Rainbow', 'Chaser', etc and I was hoping for a good and relaxing comedy this time. Unfortunately this one turned out to be another one of those slow and terribly scripted movie. The acting was not good and neither was the editing. Half way through the movie, I realized the story had not progressed much! It's like telling a story at one statement per minute and the gap was filled with advertisements. I really felt that the movie tried too hard to be funny. There were moments that I felt could have been good but it was either untimely or not acted out well enough. Give this movie a miss!

Gigo_Satana Being a strong follower of Asian cinema I have learned to sometimes go against the general consensus regarding certain films, since I believe there's always something worthwhile in Asian movies no matter who directs and who stars in it. 2004 was a good year for Korean cinema and I simply had no time and desire to view a possible candidate for disappointment that this film was billed as by the various viewers. But that time has come.The story here deals with a North Korean female spy being sent to the South to cooperate with established agents in order to capture a man in hiding. She starts working in Burger King where her mark sometimes shows up, but instead of keeping a low profile every male student and teacher falls head over heels for her and slowly start exposing her identity through the net (which never really stirs any trouble). And it's not hard to believe why guys like her and why girls feel jealous, Jeong-hwa Kim is stunning and wholesome to say the least.The comedy kicks in immediately and it's actually pretty good, both in its quality and quantity, however it noticeably lessens almost halfway through the film which made me wonder if the film was about to be overtaken by heavy sentimentality and or sappy romance shtick. The tear jerking effects are not present here at all, which is good since the film had things to reinforce in the department of comedy and romance in terms innovation.Meanwhile one of the students from the school manages to penetrate through the blockade of hungry males and actually scores a date with our gorgeous spy. Now we all know that they'll end up together, no matter how complicated or ridiculous this plot would get, but I was simply waiting for the two leads to spark the much needed chemistry. Their acting isn't bad, it just never goes anywhere. I was waiting for Yu Kong's character to say or do things for me to see why a spy with multiple problems on her hands would find special. At least he wasn't pushy or arrogant and he did wash her feet so that had to count as something, right? Still, this film was consistent in its lightness and didn't sidetrack with unnecessary drama or gross out comedy elements as seen in Sex is Zero. Kim was good to look at, but she was nowhere near as charismatic as Ji-hyun Jun (then again, who is?) or even Na-yeong Lee (Please Teach Me English and Someone Special). Too bad, because this film could have achieved something more beyond the good looks and a few funny scenes. However if you found She's on Duty and Saving My Hubby thoroughly satisfying then you should find Spygirl pleasing as well.

evensung I heard some awfull stuff about this movie before i saw it, so I wasn't expecting much.The plot is thin...let's face it, a north Korean spy, a good looking girl, stakes out a Burger King, and gets involved with a guy via a website. Even though she sold a lot of burgers, she should've fed some to the extremely anorexic plot. ...anyways, the execution of the messy plot is acctually kinda good. Acting is okie too, although it's kinda hard for me to judge Kim Jung Hwa's acting objectively though, she is simply too charming.The movie suffers however from some sort of identity crisis, it's trying to be too much. So you'll probably end up asking yourself what you just saw, if you decide to watch it. I classify it as: "some sort of comedy, with a little romance."The movie may be flawed (at best) but still I found it mostly enjoyable. I reccomend it to anyone looking for a light and bright movie, without even having to think about plot. It's one of those movies you should watch when you wanna sleep, but can't, and then end up seeing the whole thing before falling alseep...and when you wake up the next day, you've forgotten most of it, but still remember that it was enjoyable.I gave it a 6/10 for being enjoyable to watch, and for making the most out of a HORRIBLE scrip.

vincent.vega-2 Just watched this movie. I definitely recommend it to anyone familiar with asian movies and to a lesser degree to anyone else. "Typical" movie goers might be slightly dissapointed though I think this movie had enough aspects that would please a wider audience then just asian movie lovers.It's about a female spy who takes a job at Burger King to wait for her "target", a regular customer. The boys from the school next door all fall in love with her. One of them even devotes a webpage for her on his friends site that seems to offer a collection of the hottest girls in town. Unfortunately, this puts her mission in danger and she ends up dating the guy in order to make him delete the pictures of her.Though the premise is pretty far fetched it works charmingly well. But it could have worked so much better. The movie can't decide if it's a romantic comedy or a spy comedy. What makes the movie stand out is the acting especially from the lead actress, whose charming presence adds quite a lot to the appeal of the movie.
