Synopsis
Secretly, Greatly (은밀하게 위대하게, 2013) is a South Korean action-comedy-drama you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Jang Cheol-soo and based on a popular webtoon of the same name. Kim Soo-hyun, at the height of his fame following "Moon That Embraces the Sun," leads a cast of three North Korean sleeper agents dropped into a poor Seoul neighbourhood with orders to blend in and wait.
One poses as the village idiot. One enrolls in high school. One quietly falls for a woman next door. Two years pass with no word from Pyongyang. Their cover stories start to feel more real than the identities they were given. Then the orders come — and what's asked of them is worse than anything they trained for.
The film shifts gear sharply: it opens as a fish-out-of-water comedy and closes somewhere much harder to shake off. That tonal swing is either the film's biggest flaw or its sharpest trick, depending on how you read it. Stream Secretly, Greatly (2013) online on iFILM.
