As a fan of the previous Japanese version, in all this version is quite a decent remake - and for those who have not watched the original, you for sure will enjoy it much more than I did.

Story- It was pretty much similar to the original, however they were changes made to the story (some which I enjoyed, and some I disliked). This drama's biggest flaw was possibly the length of the drama, it was a little too long for my taste. It was exciting for the first half, but then sizzled out towards the end.

Acting/Cast - No complaints for the acting. Everyone acted well given the script these actors were given.

Music - Honestly I don't remember any of the sound tracks, aside from the instrumental where problems arise.

Rewatch Value - Would I watch it again? Having watched both versions, No.

Overall it's a decent drama, you'll love it if having not watched the original.

From the get go I enjoyed the introductions of the members, however for me the film was slightly too long. Once watching 50% of the film, I had thought the film was close to ending. The Hong Kong and Korean collaboration didn't do it for me (there were times the English conversation was forced) and the abrupt endings for some of the casts.

It's one of those movies with so many characters, it takes a while to actually sink in - and by then you want this film to end.

Personally I did enjoy the film until the half way mark - and there are stand out characters: Chewing Gum and Yennicall especially.

Might I suggest you not to watch this film if you're a fan of the Italian Job. If curiousity kills - just watch it :)

Personally I think this film was better off with a full Korean cast, less useless characters, and a few edits on some character's loose or abrupt endings.
