The comic tone helps keep things moving along. Sometimes a bit too cute. Evil foreigners doing bad things to the villagers in Korea. Around the time of Erin Brokovich this also involves exposure of dumping of chemicals causing illness. Makes you wonder how much actually happened the way it did taking into account creative license. Nice cast.

Full disclaimer: I lived in Korea 2009-2013 and have some tinted view based on my time as an English teacher in both rural and urban spots.

I think this movie delivers a really important message, and in a way that lots of people can relate to. The "foreigners are evil" trope is strong in this one. But I love the direct attack on chaebols, and the women's empowerment, and the rare view of '90s Korea (down to the soju bottle, incidentally - props!!)

Thanks to everyone involved for highlighting Korea, but also highlighting some important, modern, relevant issues concurrently! I think Korea now leads the "environment is important" movement at a global level, so way to turn it around in a decade. Hopefully, from now on, chaebols keep it together, and we keep those dirty foreigners out of our business!

Korean drama about big business impact on community... and the fight of the loyal employees to keep the company honest and reliable!

Gorgeous ladies, simple characters, screenplay sometimes gets lost in it owns imperfections, directing pretty ordinary for a Korean movie... but I still enjoyed it!
