Some very hilarious parts, while others were profoundly thought-provoking. How a cop who is demoted for "going by the book" in a corrupt system gains notoriety for being the best fake bank robber he can possibly be. The way the Police Chief's publicity stunt backfires is what feeds both the comedy and the drama. As always Jung Jae Young gives a powerful performance (when does he not?) This movie I truly relished and will definitely watch again and again.
