Perhaps because of the lighter tone of the first half of the film or because of the poor execution of the second half, these dark secrets that are uncovered feels hackneyed and out place with the spirit of the early portions of the film. Instead, there’s a whole lot of dark secrets that Jin-Ho and Kwang-Su uncovers, with the tone becoming darker by the moment. The light comedic elements found in the early portions of the film felt just right and, in retrospect, this is the tone the film should have maintained throughout its runtime. Hwang Jung-Min seems born to play the role of the somewhat goofy but talented super sleuth, while Ryu Deok-Hwan brings a whole lot of unique charisma to a role lesser actors would make instantly forgettable. What “Private Eye” does offer is two standout performances by its male leads to always keep you engaged.
#PRIVATEEYES MOVIE#
The movie itself likely won’t be remembered for its storyline as the story is fairly pedestrian and offers little in genuine mystery or suspense. Watson as his sidekick, Jin-Ho has his very own sidekick played by Ryu Deok-Hwan (Like A Virgin). And like another well known sleuth named Sherlock Holmes, who always had Dr. Set sometime in the early 20th century, “Private Eye” tracks the exploits of Korea’s very first (fictional) super detective named Hong Jin-Ho, played by the charismatic Hwang Jung-Min.

Unfortunately for Kwang-Su, Jin-Ho has no desire to work on a murder case (he loathes danger) and quickly rebukes Kwang-Su’s offer. He immediately goes to Hong Jin-Ho to ask for his help in finding the real murderer. Without having anywhere to turn, Kwang-su then lucks upon a flyer advertising the skills of a prominent detective named Hong Jin-Ho ( Hwang Jung-Min). Kwang-Su having already removed some of the corpse’s organs knows if he goes to the police he will become the primary murder suspect. The next day, Kwang-Su learns that the body he discovered is actually the son of a high ranking local politician who recently went missing. To Kwang-Su’s surprise he discovers a naked human corpse and he immediately proceeds to take the body home. Set in 1910, talented medical student Kwang-Su ( Ryu Deok-Hwan) roams around a wooded area at night looking for animal corpses to practice his surgical procedures upon.
#PRIVATEEYES PLUS#
You have 2 charismatic leads plus a really good ensemble. This is a light entertainment admittedly, but definitely worth watching. I came to this show because I tend to enjoy the two leads in their previous work and I enjoy shows of a similar style such as Rookie Blue, Burn Notice, Suits, etc. When reading the previous reviews, one person complained about the title song not being the original version and 2 others complained about the show not being original.
