Arslan baig Feb 03 2020 5:10 am This is what I describe as a good family movie with a lot of heart and likeable characters. Is the plot of the original? No. Is it somewhat over the top? Yes and intentionally so. Do I have any complaints against that? No! This is what I wanted from comedy/sports movie like this and great

Wendy Sep 03 2018 2:34 am This is a great movie :')

booboop Mar 25 2018 8:21 am Somebody wake me up! This could be one of Ma Dong Seok's dream roles. Can't think of any "wrestler" actor than him...and Kwon Yul, hmmm, a bit of bad role? Great cast, indeed.
