WifeGangster3

Synopsis

In case you think that this is a continuation of My Wife is a Gangster 2, it's not. A collaboration between Hong Kong and Korea, Shu Qi plays the Chinese-Korean girl, Aryoung, daughter of a HK Triad Head. She offended some of her dad's friends, so her dad ordered her to leave the country for her own safety. She went to Korea to escape from the HK triads and also to look for her mother. She was hosted by Ki Chul, a gangster but kindhearted in nature, and his two friends. Ki Chul and his friends tried to protect Aryoung in many occasions when she was attacked, without knowing Aryoung can fight better than them. Hence through the many fights and after Aryoung's father's death, Aryoung fought to took over her father's triad, which she was successful in. It's only upon Aryoung's departure that Ki Chul followed her all the way from Korea. Aryoung accepted Ki Chul despite their cultural and language differences.

Cast
Lee Bum Soo as Ki Chul
Shu Qi as Aryoung

My Take
An ok movie, I find that not much depth though because I think the producer's focus was on the fighting scenes. It's more a comical show then the usual HK-style Triad show. I thought the catalyst of the show is the translator, whom Ki Chul employed to be able to communicate with Aryoung. She adds much comical essence to the show. She is the lady on the right of Lee Bum Soo in the photo above.

Year Aired
