Judging from the trailer and the movie poster, one can easily dismiss My Girlfriend is an Agent to be a copy of Mr. and Mrs. Smith. After watching it, I had to say that I enjoyed the former more than the latter. The action scenes might be a little weak but you’ll be laughing a lot watching this movie. This I guarantee.
My Girlfriend is an Agent is hilarious movie that stars Kim Ha Neul as an undercover agent. This is the first time I saw her work and I must say I’m impressed. She beautifully handled her role, whether it’s an action scene or a light one. Joining her in the movie is Kang Ji Hwan, who I last saw in The Rough Cut. I enjoyed his clumsy rookie agent character. There’s this scene that involved lots of guns that had me literally ROFLing.
Like in Mr. and Mrs. Smith, both characters don’t know that the other one’s a spy. But the similarity stops there. Three years ago, Jae-joon (Kang Ji Hwan) broke up with Soo-ji (Kim Ha Neul) because he was left waiting in the airport while Soo Ji was chasing bad guys and couldn’t answer her phone.
Fast forward to the present and they met while both of them are working on the same case but they didn’t know that they’re on the same side. Maybe it’s regulation for Korean intelligence agencies not to cooperate with each other. They’re both after the Russians who are about to get their hands on a biological weapon.
Jae Joon thought that Soo Ji was working for the Russians and vice versa. When he found her with the Russians, he put a gun in her head and asked the lady Russian mastermind to surrender. But instead the Russian shot at them and Jae Joon shielded Soo Ji and got shot at the back. Good thing he was wearing his bulletproof baby tee.
My Girlfriend is an Agent is a funny Korean comedy that you should not miss. It should be regulation for everyone to watch this movie more than once. You wouldn’t regret it. It’s a romantic comedy like no other. And yeah, I do wish my girlfriend is an agent like Soo Ji.
