I couldn’t stop laughing when i watched this movie, really!! Gosh, the actors are good, they have the funny expressions, and sometimes the hilarious expressionless face…now i’m giggling for just remembering the movie..
the movie is twirling around 5 (so-called) adults and a kid, the bunch live in a town, that seems like no one else wanders around there but them.

The first adult is the first Mr. Kim (Shin Hyun Joon), the Taekkyon master, who’d rather speak than fight, and flee, when the speak won’t do. Shin Hyun Jun portrays Taekkyon Kim as the dumbish funny but loveable character.

Next is the second Mr. Kim, the Kendo master, with his perfect fake Japanese, but can never hit his enemy in a fight. The funny thing about Taekkyon and Kendo Kims is they don’t get along together, but they are the best partners in crime, if not funniest.

Then the newcomer, Mr.Kim, a kungfu master who loves classic piano, and shows his proud of his new dojo by breakdancing. Youngest and (seems) coolest among the three Kims, but he is not that particularly perfect.

The object of their affection is Yeosshin, daughter of a Chinese restaurant owner, who is also the landlord of Mr.Kim.

The kid is Taekkyon Kim’s faithful but unfaithful son. He used to be his father’s biggest fan – and only pupil, as the new Mr. Kim arrives in town-, but then he is tempted to try other martial art when his daddy refuses to teach him lethal moves to kick his bully schoolmates’ butt (…”I will teach you, how about in ten years?”…)

The story is about the three Kims’ competition to win Yeosshin’s heart, with Kungfu Kim has the advantage since he has won landlord’s heart with his wushu. The bigger problem arises, as a group of mafia tries to take over the town, hence stirs the peaceful and quietness. The problem forces Kims to join, save their tiny world with their awkward ways. But guess the main idea is not to show that the town is saved, sound and peaceful, because till the end, the mafia problem is not entirely cleared. at least that is what i see. The mafia is only a medium for the 3 Kims to join force and befriends.

Of course, it is a piece of cake to guess how the story ends, but this movie is an easy chew anyway. I don’t think you are expected to think too hard over this comical piece.

Kwon Oh Jung, plays the Kungfu Kim, shows nice martial art, and if you are a commoner who don’t understand all about martial art like me, you might think he is a real athlete.
