Well I don't see the connection!
Or only because one is a cop and one is a thief?
Well I expected more when I read the cover info but after all it was a quite good movie
The 112 minutes were so done. And maybe u will wish, could it be longer!
Because the ending was really sucks?! And emotional!

Great performance by female lead Son Ye Jin.
My first movie from her! I saw her in the trailer of White Night!
And badly want to see that movie! Ko Soo is so hot in there LOL

My second movie from male lead Kim Myeong Min.
Earlier saw him in Return. I only can say great actor! LOL
