But even if Soon-Im had caught him in the act, she wouldn’t have cared. This would’ve been a punishable offense in North Korea. At dinner time, he cackles to himself as he sneaks extra meat into his rice bowl. When the day is over, he heads to her house, which she shares with her grown son, Doo-Seok. He spends his day sweeping and running errands for her. It’s not clear why his handlers in Pyongyang have dropped him into the remote countryside to gather intelligence, but he has spent two years there waiting to be sent on a covert mission that would bring glory to his homeland.įrom here on out, I’m going to refer to Lieutenant Won as Dong-Gu - the name he was given for his mission.ĭuring the day, he deftly passes himself off as the dim-witted simpleton who works at Soon-Im’s corner store. Lieutenant Won Ryu-Hwan is an elite North Korean agent sent on an undercover mission to South Korea. Still, it’s a worthwhile film that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats.
“Secretly, Greatly” starts off as a comedy and veers off into a drama with a graphic, violent ending. Had the film stuck to one genre, the result would’ve been more cohesive and effective. Lieutenant Won Ryu-Hwan / Bang Dong-Gu (played by Kim Soo-Hyun)
