Movie Summary

A group of spies called the 5446 Corps were trained by North Korean elite special forces since their youth, ostensibly towards the lofty goal of unifying Korea. They are ambitiously dispatched to South Korea, where each disguises himself as a fool, an aspiring singer, and a high school student. Passing boring time without receiving any orders from the North, they gradually get used to life as ordinary neighbors in a small town until one day, their mundane lives are turned upside down when a “secret and great” mission is suddenly assigned to them.

Review

Secretly, Greatly a movie that took me for a surprise. I love the soundtrack that producers use for the film in fight scenes throughout the whole thing. I will say there is a little bit of bromance if you read between the lines. How I found this movie was a bl or bromance compilation video. I love how the actors portray their characters. I didn’t expect the ending to make me weep. The end is guessable, but I think as audience members we hope for the opposite. I won’t tell you if the tears were happy or sad tears. I will say I expected a whole different movie from the summary, but I’m satisfied with it. I feel like how they portray the three main characters having a brotherly bond play with the audience’s emotions. I enjoyed that the main focus was that they all had someone close to their hearts that they would rebel their whole country. Would I watch it again? I don’t think I would personally, however, I would watch it if I were showing someone who has never seen it or if it was on a streaming series available in my country.

Review

Long Time No See is an excellent short series that has a unique plotline. The acting is brilliant. In this series, you feel the love they have for each other. I wish it wasn’t so quick and had had the time to developed better. However, this series is an underappreciated series. This series has violence in it. Even though the series is about assassins/hitman, it has it just sweet lovey moments that make you fall in love with the main characters. I would recommend this series if you have about an hour and 30 minutes to waste. The only bad part of the series was the ending. I don’t know why I didn’t like it and its not something you expect from the series. Would you watch it again? Yes, I would watch this and get my friends interested in this. It’s so sweet and lovely.
