His secret is that he is a former spy and he was dispatched on countless special operations. He is on North Korea's most wanted blacklist and his existence in South Korea is like a time bomb that should not be revealed.

Perfect Jul 21 2026 10:34 am Good drama but id prefer itt if they have byeon woo seok instead of boring so ji seob

ingwe Jul 21 2026 3:47 am This is 100/10 best kdrama. if you don't like it, Go watch your stupid ROM-COM

rock and rolllll Jul 20 2026 10:16 pm its been a while since we got something that entertaining that triggers us to binge watch the whole thing in 1 night! new idea, very good cast and good acting!

to those who didnt like it, i dont really understand why you dont just skip it and find your type of drama and enjoy it..

10/10 drama till now with hoping for a good ending

K Jul 20 2026 9:03 pm SEONG TAE HOON Japan better than Tae Hoon Korean

Jaeyi Jul 20 2026 11:04 am Yoo guys, you have to deactivate logic if you watch this K-drama. Because there are many things that don't make sense for example min-ji who was beaten until she bled but looked fit ? but i Love this kdrama. This K-drama really comforts my emptiness

Kk Jul 20 2026 6:58 am Eps 7 and 8 full of laugh ahhahahahahhaha So funny

Thanks agent kim reactivated made my day

Jillibean Jul 19 2026 6:31 pm I hope we have a Happy Ending. ?

Zannn99 Jul 19 2026 7:45 am I love the drama but I hate every action ending, I don't understand why this kind drama , the hero never crippled or break the limb of bad guy, one of the reasons I usually avoid this kind drama, the first bad guy was an example after getting beaten up , he still going to be a thug and do his stuff again?

Jimin Jul 19 2026 5:53 am I LOVEEE THIS DRAMAAAAAA WHATEVER YOU SAAAYYYY

Jax Jul 18 2026 8:30 pm Could have been better if the big boss of JuGang construction has at least 90% fighting skill of agent kim. Could have justifiesd his tough boss image in his end.

Mission Failed Succesfully Jul 18 2026 11:50 am What if the entire drama is a test and Minji was not his daughter at all.

Noname Jul 18 2026 1:10 am The 7th episode was dragging too much. I survived in episode 6, but sorry I have to skip episode 7 and likely episode 8, as well. Thank you for the too much show.

Juche Construction Jul 17 2026 11:56 pm Park Jin Cheol > Department Head Nam > SMD Korea

Cant believe that joo sang wook from junghak are that weak too

Moral of story don't trust any aura farming here

The more they farm aura the weaker they are

Even clueless minji could escape the enemy of Junghak

Vlad Jul 17 2026 10:49 pm The reason why you should trust any spy or intelligent if they are from North Korea. Even if they are putting ransomware on your pc or stealing your bank. Just give them rice and they will be happily serve you like a dog. Just don't messed them up they act like a chihuahua. They ain't kill their master they just annoying af. Once they have better master than Kim Jong Un they will moved on to new master. And so on and so on. So better you treat them well once you get them.

Dutchess Jul 17 2026 10:40 pm @party U have many complaints, then stop watching

party Jul 17 2026 10:16 pm most deadliest agent but not a single people dead.

ep 1 - 5 was good. then 6 and with 7 the worst. the ending of ep7 is bad that its slowly becoming a joke of a plot. The sneak of ep8 is even worst.

Jamse Jul 17 2026 2:58 pm The ep 7 countryside fight scene with the semi-trucks was amazing!

Vee Jul 16 2026 5:21 pm This movie got me hooked.....started the movie today and finished it. I didn't even know the some episodes hasn't been released.

For those saying that the name doesn't suit the movie, feels like just commenting cos they're behind a keyboard......mtchewwww

Minji Jul 14 2026 12:27 am To those saying this drama is slow-paced... really?

For me, it's very entertaining, and every episode feels too short because the casting, cinematography, and overall production are amazing.

Maybe you're just bored because there's no love story. If romance is what you're looking for, then maybe this genre just isn't for you. Instead of calling it slow or boring, just watch something that matches your taste.

Not every drama needs romance. Some people actually enjoy a cool action thriller like this.

And please stop comparing it to Teach You a Lesson. Both dramas are good in their own way. If you don't like this one, that's fine—but there's no need to come here just to spread negativity. Go support the drama you enjoy instead.

Also, if you haven't even read the original webtoon, maybe don't act like you already know everything about the story. At least wait until the drama is finished before judging it.

And please, stop acting like you're the director or the writer who knows exactly how the story should be told. If this drama is really that boring, then why are its ratings skyrocketing and why is it outperforming many previous dramas? Clearly, a lot of people are enjoying it.

Geo Jul 13 2026 9:29 am I can't understand the hype about this... No grit, no action, overly comical... When comparing this to something Mercy to None... That ahow was gritty, good fight scenes, and some coherence... This is plain watered down stupid vengeance series

Jillibean Jul 13 2026 2:43 am I'm on episode four and still enjoying it. The acting is phenomenal from everyone.

J Jul 12 2026 6:55 pm the webtoon version is much more brutal

Papanyagio Jul 12 2026 4:44 am Whoooaaaa. This is very2 interesting action drama. Superb!!! I think this is the best kdrama in this year. Great acting, best action, lots of humor, beautiful cast. No boring episode so far (i've watched 6th ep)

Lovethis Jul 12 2026 1:18 am One of the best! 1B/100

My favorite drama Jul 11 2026 10:38 pm Love this drama I Miss my father

jada Jul 11 2026 1:06 pm An exciting watch! Though the story's logic is off. Why are the good guys fighting each other? Agent Kim vs. Special Ops makes no sense when the focus should be on the actual villains. Spectacular action and on edge suspense!

ceylius Jul 11 2026 9:05 am i mean i agree with lipton on the not teaching his daughter some self defense skills or tips or whatever…. ?? and i feel there might be some history between agent kim and hyeri’s dad ….and what kind of miserable piece of psychopath is he that he is willing to kill an innocent child just for his daughter??

Esbee Jul 08 2026 1:38 pm All those involved in this kidnapping are in dilemma because both south and north korea will try to save kim min ji since she's her father's weakness

Rasha Jul 08 2026 10:58 am This seems to be one of the best drama and a true comeback for So Ji sub. It's thrilling and engaging. I'm still on the second episode and already feel amazed. His revenge is gonna be massive!

Mark king Jul 07 2026 1:33 pm The best Korean drama I’ve ever seen.

Rie_leen Jul 06 2026 4:34 am Wow! real change.. So Ji-Sub gud job.. !!

I rarely watch dramas him starring because he used to seem so listless, but now he's amazing! He truly embodies the script to perfection!

Catherine Diesen Jul 05 2026 7:43 pm Loving this fast paced show. Actors are great nice to be able to watch a thriller for a change. Can't wait for next episode

VPS Jul 05 2026 5:42 pm Great Series! Already hooked - Jock Wick Vibes.

TWitter Jul 05 2026 2:06 pm I’m currently watching it and its so good ? 10/10 so far.

Andrea Jul 05 2026 1:12 am Watching right now so good !

almightyjoe Jul 05 2026 12:33 am no doubt the best drama in 2026

Gemini22 Jul 04 2026 8:35 pm I love this show. Sooo thrilling yet entertaining. I love casts especially So ji Sub my hero. I love the way he acts and handsome too?❤️❤️

noony Jul 04 2026 11:41 am @IMO007 no, he is not park young gwang. Ju gang chan will be beaten up by manager kim later on after trying to offer manager kim money to work fro him.

IMO007 Jul 04 2026 11:34 am Hmm, what if #66 Park Yeong-Gwang is not dead like they say and its Ju Gang-Chan? just a guess.... Somehow #66 made it out with the help of #73-Kim but split up when they got to the South and the guy from the North Gang-Seong is Gang-Chan brother? LOL,,, Well just a thought many more episodes to go. Sooo Good!!!

Alisa Jul 03 2026 8:32 pm Korean version of Taken x John Wick I enjoyed it

Emmmmy Jul 03 2026 1:51 pm Love it and love So Ji Sub! A huge fan forever! ??

YY Jul 02 2026 10:32 am this is like a john wick movie but in korean version

Andrea Jul 02 2026 10:01 am A cliche writing -Hwang Don't Man

andin Jun 30 2026 5:23 am really hope to see seong tae hoon and park dabin. since seong tae hoon in jdrama viral hit very far from my expectation?

miExGwyn Jun 28 2026 11:34 pm For some reason, this KDrama reminds me of the movie by Liam Neeson “Taken”. I’m hooked already!!!!

Mandra Jun 28 2026 8:06 pm Can we get Seong TaeHoon and Park Dabin too??

Rosie Boo Jun 28 2026 2:28 pm Absolutely love this drama! First time I watched So Ji Sub, I have never seen this actor before. It's amazing that he can be humble as a dad to Minji, and then changes like a chameleon when Minji goes missing. I'm sticking to this drama all the way.

Lucy Jun 28 2026 6:00 am Wowwww!!!

 Great drama!! Great acting! As always! Oppa SJS!????

And then see my other Oppa JSW!?? Great actors!

SillyValley Jun 28 2026 4:31 am Educational Rights Protection Bureau Agent Na Hwa-Jin (Kim Moo-Yul) and Agent Kim (So Ji-Sub) back-to-back is giving me butterflies! Both give the best satisfying slaps! My heart can’t take it! ???

Jamse Jun 28 2026 12:56 am How much do you want to bet that the North Korean assassin really is Agent Kim’s brother?

Jamse Jun 27 2026 11:52 pm Holy Guacamole! Are we in for incredible ride with this drama!

Gemini22 Jun 27 2026 5:05 pm I love this drama. Exciting and intense. I love the casts especially So ji Sub. And now... jo sang wook a villain ? in used to watch you as the protagonist but you are a good actor too. This drama is worth watching ❤️❤️?

linollama Jun 27 2026 12:56 pm as expected Seo Jisub's drama never fails!!!!!! His acting is so top notch! I really love when he's doing action movie or drama. Can't wait for the 3rd episode...

Jillibean Jun 27 2026 6:43 am First episode almost at 10% ratings in Korea. That's a good sign. :)

Thursday Jun 26 2026 11:59 pm Watching the first episode now! Netflix describes the series as Goofy! Jisub has very good comedic timing!

Kpocchaco Jun 26 2026 11:41 pm Agent Kim Reactivated starts with a bang, delivering a gut-punching debut that perfectly captures the desperation of a father pushed to his limits. So Ji-sub is incredible as the unassuming Manager Kim, but it’s the chemistry between him and his allies—Choi Dae-hoon and Yoon Kyung-ho—that gives the show its heart. Seo Su-min shines in her debut role as Min-ji, and the raw portrayal of her school struggles adds a heavy, grounded stakes that makes the action feel even more urgent. Paired with Joo Sang-wook’s chilling turn as the antagonist, this series is an absolute must-watch. An intense, high-octane thriller that I’m already completely hooked on! Can’t wait to watch the next episode! ?

IMO007 Jun 26 2026 9:25 pm So far,, really good. Ep1 and it’s already soo exciting. This is the drama you need if you love action with humor. I’m a So Ji Sub fan since the 2000s so anything he’s in I’m front and center., but the rest of the cast are great actors as well. Can’t wait for another episode each week.

Wu Jun 26 2026 8:30 pm I thought it was sequel of my secret terrius, but definitely I got wrong

Emma Jun 21 2026 1:24 am Hopefully it's 16 episodes ??

Jillibean Mar 02 2026 8:10 pm So Jisub and Su Jeong Im together in I'm Sorry, I Love You (2004) got me addicted to Korean dramas those two decades ago. If it wasn't for them I probably never would have realized the immense pleasure that being a devoted K-drama fan can be in one's life.

This one sounds very interesting. I wonder who they will cast as the daughter?

Lilian Feb 14 2026 5:18 am Cannot wait he is the best!!

Yola Jan 22 2026 7:25 pm Korean john wick, hell yeah i am excited!!

Cindy Q Sep 14 2025 7:21 pm Omg!! Yessss. I love this Webtoon! I was wondering when a drama would be made. I can't wait. Especially after watching him in No Mercy. <3

Yi an Sep 13 2025 4:16 am OMG can`t wait to see Ji Sub in another action packed drama. Keep challenging your self oppa, fighting! This drama is giving My Secret, Terrius and action vibes, looking forward to it!
