moeen Nov 06 2015 12:11 pm this movie is awesome
Ki Jul 05 2012 4:54 am Watched this movie the other day and I can say it's my least favorite so far this year. The first half is ok, but second half is a serious mood-killer/downer. Movie got really serious for no other reason than they probably ran out of jokes by the end of the first half. And the jokes were underwhelming to begin with.
@Sweet - Cha Seung-Won appears briefly in the last scene. He plays himself - a top actor. The scene involves Cha Seung-Won meeting at a high end sushi restaurant with the casting director for an upcoming movie.
Sweet Jul 04 2012 5:21 pm Is there trailer Mr. Cha Seung Won-cameo role in it? Curious about it .. Thank you...
