Plot

Eun-Jin (Shin Eun-Kyung), also known as “Mantis,” is the No. 2 person in her powerful gangster organization. She is beautiful, but has zero feminine qualities. One day, her long sister is found in a hospital and is terminally ill. Her sister makes a last wish to Eun-Jin and asks her to get married before she dies. The problem is, Eun-Jin has spent her entire life in the gangster world and only knows how to be tough.

Eun-Jin then sends out her top henchmen to find a guy that she can marry immediately. Her 3 underlings finally find a guy willing to marry her on short notice, but he's a passive officer worker and a bit chubby. His name is Kang Soo-Il (Park Sang-Myeon). Regardless of his shortcomings, Eun-Jin wants to marry him to please her sister and she does.

After their wedding, Eun-Jin has to keep her background a secret from her husband, but also battle a rival gang that is quickly encroaching on her territory. Complicating matters more, her sister makes one more request ... to have a baby!

kupukupumu Oct 13 2014 9:45 am I did not realize it has been 13 years since the movie was made. Yet, until today it is still one of the best rom com movies ever made. It is almost on par with My Sassy Girl which is better only because it tells story about ordinary people.
