The plot of this film has a young beautiful spy from North Korea going south to capture another rogue spy. She goes undercover at Burger King and soon she’s battling with her co-workers for the affections of the local boys, dealing with a culture clash between North and South, and a very cute young man who’s posted pictures of her on a website of local “angels” possibly blowing her cover.
Length 102 minutes

I watched the Korean comedy Spy Girl which kept me captivated for the entire 2hrs (not easily done these days). This is not a great movie but very watchable and reminded me of lot of the late 80s Patrick Dempsey teen/romance-comedies (Loverboy, Can’t Buy Me Love, etc.) of which I am rather fond of, good or bad.
Kim Jeong-hwa in the lead “spygirl” role is the ice queen hottie that you expect will melt by films end. But Spy Girl sidesteps the easy “hollywood” ending offering a sly finale (possibly signaling a sequel; hell, they sequeled My Wife The Gangster so why not?). I recommend it, natch.
