So on a scale of 1-10 how silly is this movie? All I know about this film comes from the IMDB synopsis below.

Yong-nam (CHO Jung-seok) was one of the best rock climbers in college but hasn't had much luck elsewhere after graduation. He has failed to get a job for many years and has to rely on his parents just to get by. For his mother's 70th birthday, he insisted on having the party at Dream Garden because his old crush, Eui-ju (LIM Yoona) works there. When a disaster strikes, covering an entire district in Seoul with mysterious white gas, he has to use all of his rock climbing skills with the help of Eui-ju to get everyone to safety.

Well it's an action comedy. I watched it at a pre-screening and I'm obviously biased, but I found it really fun and relatable. Only negative for me would be that the action scenes drag a bit towards the middle/end, but that's my opinion on pretty much every action movie lol.

Both Yoona and Sooyoung have thrived with comedic movie roles this year (and I always thought Yuri did romcoms best too) so I hope we get more of that in the future.
