MolangKorea Feb 13 2017 2:44 am Just by reading this article and see Chul-Bong face, I laughed so hard ~ remember how he tried to explain how big the killer whale was to his bandits gang but got beat up instead 'n told as liar.

This movie is totally a genius twisted history telling!! Every scene made delicately, unpredictable, amused, you just never get bored and keep wanting this movie to never end. That's how good it is.

I really wish they made a sequel~ but at second thought which story could beat a story of a whale eating a kingdom stamp?? ㅋㅋㅋ hardly exist ㅋㅋㅋ

b Jan 16 2017 3:25 am A lots lots of laugh!! Kim nam gil and his gang was sooooo adorable! Definitely recommend this drama! funny funny funny!! :)

randomness02 Dec 19 2015 11:12 am ahaha love this type of movie. adventure comedy. i was laughing so hard, especially at the "fastest boat" scene.

heyli Nov 25 2015 3:04 am amazing film, i never got bored while watching this , Kim Nam Gil is an awesome actor, thanks you all for making such a great film .

Rita Sep 04 2015 5:51 pm Kim Nam Gil is an amazing actor, i laughed my butt of while watching him haha xD He remembers me a lot of Johnny Depp,idk why tho :D

Movie Buff Aug 06 2015 10:11 pm Great Movie, lots of action and humor. Son Ye-Jin great acting. Kim Nam Gil should have some deserving recognition, he was sooo funny, and did some realistic scenes, facial expression was GREAT, We the audience never forgot him. His humor can be very contagious among the cast. Thank you for have such a great movie, It should have had deserve more awards, but the timing. If not it was a great story and comedy catagory which should have been a separate award. Thanks to the staff, working hard and keep on Fighting. All characters were wonderful. We need a drama similar to the movie with the same cast.

Y c Jun 11 2015 10:36 pm Great film. Is there any news on a sequel? Also, is there a soundtrack that is available?

Aj Apr 19 2015 9:44 am Despite some awkward scene transitions, the production values and acting are excellent. It's a delightfully wonderful, wacky, and exciting action story but also with the writer's deep reverence for the beauty and devotion of whales.

hamis Mar 07 2015 3:17 am i like most the scene he kept scratching his private parts

kang san hee Feb 16 2015 1:11 am kim nam gil is a very good actor. he can play action, drama, and comedy.

DreamHigh Nov 28 2014 1:33 pm I started watching Kim Nam Gil at Bad Guy drama and recently watched Shark, then I like him even though he has not much good personalty (compare to others K actor) he is attractive in his action. God Job Kim! I will be watching your drama or movie in future.

Vivi Oct 19 2014 4:19 am This movie is very funny ... at some scenes I laughed heartily ... even if I did not understand anything for that was not translated ... I wait to be translated into english and then translated in romanian ... I hope I can see and on the big screen, in my country, Romania ... Kim Nam Gil is one of the best and most talented actors that I've ever seen in my life ... good job ... Congratulations!

Good luck to Kim Nam Gil news projects!

There are a lot of action scenes. Both of the leads did very good job. There was no boring moment. I would watch this again. I hope DVDs come out soon so I can have it for myself.

liz Aug 01 2014 10:59 am kim nam gil is a main character in the movie ,certainly . in posters and first trailer his name is first but in main trailer and last trailer that is beginning of movie his name is the second and son name is first ,why ? what is the role in Korean movie industrial.

Qeyzn Jul 31 2014 3:23 am Kim Nam Gil and Son Yejin again? WOw!!! Hope this time Kim Nam Gil doesn't die in the end, Seems like a fun movie!!! Can't wait~!!!!!!!!

xxx Jul 26 2014 11:03 am Dude, whatever sh*t happens to Sulli and f(x) has got nothing to do with the movie. You want to debate about that worthless issue, go to their forum page or whatever. This is not the appropriate place for you whine about it.

Judging from the situation, this may just be the very last time you see Sulli on screen. So it's your choice whether to watch it or not, but you don't have to announce it. Keep it to yourself.

BIONETTE Jul 25 2014 5:05 pm SERIOUSLY, if Sulli is not allowed to go and help promote this movie...I am not watching it....I am so angry about the sudden "so called" indefinite break.....I have been a fan for a long time....of everything Korean but after this dumb fiasco...I am so mad that I am through.....I swear.....everything happening to Sulli is plain UNFAIR...who the heck cares whom she's dating? and no FASHION KING? you can all go straight to hell....don't pretend to "care" for her health...do no insult our intelligence....

bianchi Jul 14 2014 2:50 pm I'm really waiting for this movie i hope time will pass so i can watch it <3

Adhe Talla Jul 07 2014 2:46 pm Kim Nam Gil & Son Yeh Jin are the match made from heaven.
