Korean comedy film, Identity-swapping tale Luck-Key

Korean Movie, Identity-swapping tale 'Luck-Key'

I watched a Korean comedy film "Luck-Key," starring Yoo Hae-jin as a killer last week. There were silent and deserted because I went to see it at 10PM on weekdays. 

I want to say thanks to my friend given a theater ticket. ^^

This remake of Kenji Uchida's 2012 Japanese comedy 'Key of Life topped' the South Korean box office.

The Korean comedy film 'Luck-Key' became the first local comedy film to reach the 2 million mark in accumulated viewers in such a record short time.

The story of a hired killer who loses his memory

In Luck-Key, a down-and-out struggling actor Jae-sung (Lee Joon) finds his life transformed when a wealthy man Hyung-wook (Yoo Hae-jin) is accidentally knocked unconscious at a bathhouse. Jae-sung, jealous of Hyung-wook's affluence, swaps locker keys with Hyung-wook and assumes his identity.

As the impoverished Jae-sung takes over Hyung-wook's world, he begins living a life of indulgence while Hyung-wook, who reawakens with amnesia, faces the opposite: living in Jae-sung's humble, messy apartment and working at a restaurant, as he struggles to remember his life before his accident.

Jae-sung eventually discovers Hyung-wook was actually an assassin for hire, who was monitoring a beautiful neighbouring woman Eun-ju (Lim Ji-yeon).  Jae-sung becomes increasingly involved in protecting Eun-ju from men chasing her down, leading to the discovery of hidden truths that go beyond just identity swapping.

That's because Hyung-wook manages to transfer his retained killer abilities into other pursuits such as channeling his masterful knife skills into cooking and, in an outrageous yet entertaining twist, becoming an overnight movie sensation.

Lina (Jo Yoon-hee), the paramedic who attended to Hyung-wook at the bathhouse, also finds herself falling for Hyung-wook. 

This movie's storyline is fell flat, his transformation from cold-blooded killer to a family-oriented man tends to overshadow Jae-sung's story, which plays out more conventionally.

It is acting of the chief actor Yoo Hae-jin to save this movie 'Luck-Key'. Yoo Hae-jin as a Korean movie brand name.

Especially, it was really funny to brandishing a knife and cooking action. 

 A cold-blooded killer... The Yoo Hae-jin who appears in the first scene made him look like a heartless killer.

This is a trap to deceive the audience. 

The idea was good, but the reversal of this movie was not a bit surprised.
