Day 38 - My Wife is A Gangster 3 (China and South Korea)

"A-ryong, a daughter of a giant Mafia group in Hong Kong, is wrongfully accused for killing the boss of Black Dragon, the biggest rival and is threatened to leave the country. Missing her mother, who had to leave the family for some reason, so deadly, she insists going to Korea, where her mother might be now, until things get settled. Arriving Korea, she is guided by Gi-chul, who is given a mission to protect her by his boss, but it’s not easy for them to get harmonized. Meanwhile, an assassin named Yang-be, is sent to Korea to kill A-ryong and there seems to be no choice for Gi-chul but to take her to his hometown disguising that he’s got a wife. What will happen to this Chinese gangster wife? " -Aw

A really good film that has nothing to do with the last two entries in the series. Though I prefer it that way since I haven't seen one or two. but you don't need to watch them to get this movie. The interaction between Aryong through the translator to Gi-Chul is hilarious almost all of the time.
There's action, romance, mixed with comedy that actually works and can be quite interesting to international audiences.
I am somewhat a fan of Lee Beom-Soo, I have seen several of his movies and his dramas. He is perfect for the role of Gi-Chul. But the real star Shu Qi, is so beautiful I've had a crush on her since I saw her in the Transporter film. Not only is she beautiful she can actually act, she is perfect at more mature roles playing damaged women but she is awesome at playing a badass girl. It is the first time I've seen her in something not so serious, I think she did a great job.

3/5
