YesAsia Editorial Description
Although the wedding itself wasn't exactly a walk in the park, Soo Il is in store for even more surprises once the "honeymoon" begins! His eagerness for romance quickly diminishes as his new bride snubs his overtures for sex, offends his colleagues, and overall makes his life a living hell! As the unhappy couple starts to come apart at the seams, a rival gang catches wind of Eun Jin's current marital situation, a discovery that results in the death of one of her men and - after a brutal gangfight - her own hospitalization! But what happens when Soo Il learns of his wife's true profession? Will he turn tail and run? Or will he find the courage to avenge his wife? Full of madcap situations and sharply choreographed wire-fu, My Wife Is A Gangster is one action comedy sure to entertain!

This professional review refers to My Wife is a Gangster (Hong Kong Version) (DTS Version)
|
The idea of a strong female protagonist and a weak male lead is not brand new or provocative. In Christmas in August, we have the active and passionate Darim (Shim Eun-Ha); in Foul King, there is a female wrestling expert (Jang Jin-Young). As the film title suggests, the dramatic quality of My Wife is a Gangster comes from the exaggeration of this gender displacement. Once again, as seen in some other films with a similar thematic element, what Cho Jin Gu does is to misplace the gender identity and maximize the conflict of the two genders. The result is a highly humorous comedy. Eun-jin (Shin-Eun Kyung) is the head of a crime family. One day, her dying sister makes a request, she wants Eun-jin to get married. Eun-jin does not know how to satisfy her sister's wish since she has never thought of marriage before. At this time, Soo-il (Park Sang-Myun), a naive civil servant, comes along and becomes the husband of Eun-jin by accident. While Eun-jin and Soo-il are "enjoying" their honeymoon, they do not know that someone is making a plot to overthrow Eun-jin's crime family... This is a very commercial film. It has all the elements that make a film entertaining. Kung fu, sex, love, jokes and melodrama are all placed on the same dish. Considering the entertaining value, I can see why it is popular in Korea. But personally, I did not quite enjoy this film. Most of the fight scenes lack creativity. The action choreography is familiar to fans of Hong Kong or New Hollywood Kung Fu films, especially the black outfit of Eun-jin strongly reminds me of Trinity in The Matrix. The conflict between Eun-jin and Soo-il is also less maniacal and dramatic than I expected. The love plot between the supporting characters Ahn Jae Mo and his girlfriend is too brief, which I believe can be expanded a little bit. There are a great many characters in this film. In addition to the main plot of Eun-jin and Soo-il, supporting characters like Ahn Jae Mo, The tin head guy, Ahn's girlfriend, Eun-jin's sister and Ahn's henchman (That guy really looks like Hong Kong pop singer Eason Chan) all share equal spotlights in the film. The director spends a great portion of the film to develop each character. But this is not a sitcom, it is only a 100-min~feature length movie. Two problems arise from this extravagant cast. First, it weakens the main plot. Lead actor Soo-il has even fewer appearances than Ahn Jae-Mo! Second, due to the time constraint, the depiction of each character is not impressive enough. It is hard for viewers to actually remember any single character firmly. After reading many positive reviews on this movie, I guess I just had too high an expectation. That might explain why I didn't quite enjoy this movie. Nevertheless, it certainly teaches me a lesson, that is, don't read too many reviews before you see a film, so that you won't develop the wrong expectation and end up in disappointment. VCD (HK version) - Avoid the Cantonese version. The translation is extremely poor. The vulgarization of the dialogues has turned the film into a Wong Jing style low class comedy. What makes me even more angry is that the Chinese subtitles are made directly from the deviated Cantonese dialogues. If you want to see this film in its best quality, get the Korean version DVD or ignore the Chinese subtitles on the HK version. Cool guy(s) - Shin Eun-Kyung Reviewed by: Kantorates |

| It no wonder why this movie has now part3. it was very succesful the first time around. its story is simple and realistic. heck even the sex was realistic. To boot , It has included a scence that is a very touching and repugnant attack on the pregnant protagonist. The movie is funny without trying to be. the action scenes are well made. it makes you think they are really bloody cool! |

Cold yet Sooo Cool
| A great comedy-action that allows you to quickly bond with the main character. I would have slit the husbands throat but guess you need doltish comic relief somewhere. The action was fast, brutal & just enough to leave you craving for more. Plus the story did a great job of focusing on the marriage portion rather than making it into a complete gangster movie so it truly was a comedy with kick-butt action. You've got to just love Shin Eun Kyung in her boyishly pretty, yet tough female role...cool. |

| Wowww... this is a see movie. A great female action star. The movie is complimentary to the acting of the lead male actor married to Shin Eun who is a boss of a mob. Good comedy. Don't fail to watch this movie. |

| When I bought this film, I do not intend to watch a Korean film. Just because the salesman recommend it to me so much. Fortunately, I do not have to be disappointed about my decision. Although there are some mistakes, in general this film is still a good one. The actress in the film is so good. I love her. I' ve heard that she have just got married last year. Congratulations to her! I'm waiting for the next parts. |
