Pat Magee Feb 21 2026 11:15 am Hello! I really liked Good News for its historical aspect and satirical humor. Being a K-Drama fan that has watched many Korean series and films on Netflix. Also, a review in the New York Times explained the concept from a true story that happened in 1970. I don't know how to transfer the jpg. to this screen.

Shish Jan 13 2026 6:46 am Totally waste of time. The jokes don’t even hit. Just random nonsense scenes. I really don’t get the hype. This movie is trash.

venus borja Jan 12 2026 11:19 am a very good movie.and realistic..

Meiyy Oct 25 2025 7:54 pm Hong Kyung is so underrated. He deserve more recognition, he is undeniably and one of the great actor in his generation. I love how he speaks 2 different languages fluently. Saranghaeyo Hong Kyung!!!

RE Oct 24 2025 9:53 am just finished this ?? i thought it'll be dark crime thriller or mystery but its turned our super unserious movie ? so hilarious. also hongkyung acting so amazing the way he ATE in three languages gets me madly in love w him

keggy feuger Oct 20 2025 6:58 pm There's no reason for this so called movie to be 2 hours long. Watching Airplane or Airport 77 movie is better off. The 'comedy' was stale and the plot is too long. Was literally only watching Kim Sung Oh's scenes just to get through it. That young guy Seo Go-Myung was a prick not willing to shake the American soldier's hand.

Noelle Oct 20 2025 1:55 pm I'm only 15 minutes in but had to pause and had to run to AsianWiki to give my review. This movie is hilarious. The comic timing is impeccable. I'm so excited to watch the rest.

Meyrin Oct 19 2025 5:10 pm @haz Aett - the whole movie is political, and yup, indeed we just saw, for me, the two unsung heroes' perspectives (Go-Myung and Nobody) bittersweet for me though because Go-Myung really wanted that prestige and acknowledgment but turned into "Nobody" instead

@Jam - been laughing and giggling through the first parts of the movie

haz Aett Oct 19 2025 11:31 am can someone who watches this show, explain to me what actually happened? like,i totally cannot understand this movie at all..the whole point of this movie is what? are we seeing this movie from "the unsung hero" perspective?

Min Oct 18 2025 11:42 pm Jam: yes it is a thriller/comedy

Jam Oct 18 2025 2:07 pm Is this supposed to be funny? I've been watching it for 39 minutes now and I can’t stop laughing. Please do tell me if this is normal. I'll come back here once I'm done watching it.

Boo Aug 26 2025 5:29 pm Finally more projects for Hong Kyung! Cant wait to see this come out! Love you HK!

Jeny Lunaria Apr 22 2025 7:26 pm When will this be shown in Netflix?
