![]() Script brings his incompetence as merrily as possible for a chance at gag. Characters are not entirely menacing or confident, in fact the titular Detective K himself can be a bit of odd ball at times. It has a way to put these instances, even though they may seem grim, and squeeze a few laughs here and there. The jokes are delivered in good timing, often sudden yet incredibly effective. The acting and dialogues are geared towards bringing humor which is arguably the movie's strongest point. It's built from a few subplots sewn together by betrayal and vengeance, although the movie is far from bleak. This time the case takes the exiled detective to counterfeit money and child abduction scheme. While the story might seem a tad overused, especially for mystery fans, the comedy aspect is adequately fresh to lighten the mood. It's hard not to make reference to Sherlock since it's teeming with similar deduction display as well as borrowing parts of the plot from the other eccentric detective. Reviewed by quincytheodore 6 / 10 Decent mystery thriller that also serves as parody of itselfÄetective K is a niche series that mixes classic Korea setting with modern humor. This isn't a awful movie, but it's disappointing seeing how the previous one was actually a good mystery adventure. There is some twists which is composed of mainly betrayals, but it seemed pretty cheap. Even the scenes that were suppose to be striking and impactful just didn't work as a whole, because of the weak and detached build-up. And that includes the whole story, which is actually a very simple case but felt all over the place. It just didn't seem to flow all that well though. I guess, it's to add to the slapstick humor when Detective K gets cornered. I wonder if he has some fighting skills or not, cause at some points he fights like a badass and at other times he doesn't know anything. With Detective K constantly running away, constantly using some sort of smoke bomb maneuver and running away some more with his partner. ![]() As a matter of fact the direction gets really redundant. The entertainment value is lower this time around, since it just seems more like a rehash than a actual sequel. The mystery and the case just wasn't as interesing as the first one. It just seemed rushed although it took a gap of almost 4 years for this one to come out. Reviewed by KineticSeoul 5 / 10 Gets really tedious ![]()
