Man, I have watched this movie quite a few time. The way they show the personalities along with the big picture of the Korean diplomatic change is breath taking. We can see both of the main characters portraying the two officials from the opponent sides. As the time went by, they turned into friends from enemies, with both believing each other.

Thinky, balanced spy drama - well worth the watch!

Beautiful movie, very stirring and very powerful! Masterful!
