Ddeonu Apr 15 2025 7:24 am Sorry, I'm late just watching this film in 2025. Actually the snippets of this film are always scattered on social media. But I'm just interested and Just finished watching it. It turns out that this film is very exciting. And also very funny. All the players in this film are very good acting. Rate of Me 9/10. The fried chicken scene for me is the most epic. The problem is because the scene is too, that's why I watched this film hehe

wa098 Dec 31 2024 5:24 am The best comedy movie ?

larius Apr 21 2024 12:17 pm completely dumb and not funny

Ish Dec 27 2023 5:42 pm Stupid but so funny :-) Recommend watching.

kdrama lover Apr 13 2023 7:16 am watched this movie like 2 or 3 times already cause it's so hilarious!! Never failed to make me laugh! XD

julius06 Feb 26 2023 8:19 am seriously? second highest grossing film in S.korea of all time. don't get me wrong I enjoy the movie as much as I enjoyed jakie chan films but to obtained such box office success is just absurd I don't see anything special about the movie at all. 7/10.

Tansythistle Aug 15 2022 9:06 am Just finished this movie tonight and I asked myself why I just watched while I already have it on my PC for months. This is recommended,,,soo hillarious.

tik Apr 17 2022 1:29 pm Totally Recommended!!!! love this movie soooooo much

Sandra Vee Aug 05 2021 2:00 am One of the first korean movies I watched, before I became a kdrama fan. That time I did not know any actors. Today I randomly checked the cast and dayumnnn I know almost eveyone from the dramas Ive see. The neighbourhood guy from Reply 1988 and the Moon Sang Tae from IOTNBO and the God from Bride of Habaek surprised me here.

Vic Apr 09 2021 9:53 am I watched because of Lee Ha Nee, then find it funny.

,,, Aug 16 2020 10:09 pm i usually don't leave comments down on movies because i find them either too simple or too hard to take in when the end approaches but extreme job was such an amazing movie and i totally understand why it reached top box office sales now. the story has a great balance between comedy and action and the fact that i had a chance to visit the original suwon chicken restaurant a year ago and actually taste the fried chicken there made the movie even more enjoyable to watch! 10/10 would recommend!

jilcel May 21 2020 5:42 am I read about this from a movie review being great to watch at. I decided to watch this when I found it has Ryoo Seung-Ryong (from Miracle in Cell No.7) as lead character. My verdict: This was a hilarious movie! We are laughing from beginning to end! Great to watch! Enjoyed very much!

Manisha Apr 24 2020 12:25 pm Daebak \(-ㅂ-)/ ♥ ♥ ♥

jujukk Oct 03 2019 10:20 am Watched it after watching the same Lee byeong hun director's drama Be melodramatic (2019)...cured the aftermath of drama. Fun movie.

drinkme Oct 01 2019 4:03 am this movie is awesome !!!!

Xhalen Aug 18 2019 2:28 am This one's hilariously funny from beginning to end. And Gong Myung looks so cute in here! I thought he looked like Go Kyung Pyo with that haircut. Lol

Rinald Aug 01 2019 7:08 pm These korean police related movies are always lit.Fantastic movie

caca Apr 21 2019 1:58 am this film is soooo funny

Seis Mar 04 2019 4:43 pm Absolutely hilarious! Exceeded my high expectations. It's the second most watched Korean movie in history. The whole theatre was cracking up scene after scene.

Jagd Mar 01 2019 9:13 am Great comedy, great action, great comedy, spiced with a little bit of drama, romance, and even 'horror' which is also funny all around and smoothly forged along the movie. I had a blast watching this on the silver screen, and if I got the time I'm gonna watch for the second time. Such amazing ride, hollywood need to learn things about comedy from this. I'm confident that almost no other comedy in the past 5 years could compete with this except for spiderverse.

fera Feb 27 2019 11:25 pm this film is so recomended. funny and so good i think. you must watch in cinema

Maria Feb 27 2019 11:48 am Good film, it's beyond my expectaction. so hilarious and make me laugh during the length. So great

Rc137 Feb 26 2019 7:34 pm Open a chicken restaurant as a cover for a stakeout. What can go wrong? Plenty of course! Really enjoyed this movie. Had crime fighting, a tiny bit (really tiny) of romance and comedy. Highly recommend. May watch again in a few weeks.

If i could see u now Feb 24 2019 6:08 am I usually watch korean movies by downloading it but for this one i decided to bought the ticket and watch in cinema... and it's really worh it!!! And why did Lee Dong Hwi looks so hot here lol

Sevilyan Jan 20 2019 2:41 pm Hahahahha... oooh.. the trailer really captured me so fast, I didn’t expect the movie is gonna be that interesting!! Fighting Jin Seon-Kyu ajusshi, sarangheyo!!!! Extreme job fighting!!

saya Dec 11 2018 9:44 pm Korean remake of Lobster Cop (Chinese movie)..?

Hope Aug 01 2018 10:24 am Hope to see this drama really soon

Sooyi Mar 21 2018 8:22 am While reading, I thought it would be a heist movie but then it unexpectedly delved into comedy lol... I can already picture the movie trailer: it starts off all sleek and black then it transitions into slapstick humor.

Ginali Mar 14 2018 7:49 am LOOLLL the storyline ? I'm surely waiting forward for this drama!
