"Bang Tae-sik is perennially unemployed as he drifts from one job to another, from manual labor to serving coffee. His appearance (dark skin and short height), being rather atypical for a Korean is to blame it seems, but best buddy Yong-cheol persuades Tae-sik to make better use of these disadvantages: Desperate and having nothing better to do, he adopts a strange accent and ethnic hat and is reborn as Bang-ga (a twist on his family name) from Bhutan, and immediately lands a job at a chair manufacturing factory"
This film had a great message with a good plot but falls flat on trying to achieve a good movie. The film is very hard to get through as it is slightly boring and the lead could have been better with his performance. Plus the ending of the film was a little weak, it really turned sour in the beginning of the film. It was really hard to concentrate on watching this movie. I will suggest this to anyone that likes to see the racial issues in Korea plus if you like Korean comedies.
2/5
