Husbands in Action - A Light and Fun Enough Action Comedy Though not the Most Memorable Movie

This week had been a joy for Netflix subscribers like me with so many interesting new movies and series which made me spend the past few days just finishing them one by one. On Friday night, I watched this South Korean film that was just released on the same day. It has a seemingly light & fun premise which was exactly what I was looking for after completing a suspenseful series. Without further ado, here's more on the film.

Brief Story Line

Hwang Choong-sik (Jin Seon-kyu - UprisingSpace Sweepers etc) was a narcotics detective who had been eyeing to stop the distribution of drugs by the group of drug dealers led by Do-jun (Kim Ji-seok - The Sleepless, When The Camellia Blooms TV series etc) and his intelligent wife Hye-ran (Lee Da-hee - S Line TV series, The Divorce Insurance  etc). However his mission brought danger to his ex-wife Si-nae (Kang Han-na - Ca$hero TV series, Empire of Lust etc) and their daughter who were kidnapped.

Per Aspera Ad Astra - A Visually Stunning Space Adventure Sci-Fi Movie With Some Greatly Done Special Effects

Last night I was searching for new things to watch on various streaming services and came across this film on Netflix that was released the day before. I never knew of its existence previously but seeing the synopsis and the lead star, I was immediately intrigued. So without hesitation, I immediately gave it a try. OK, let's dive right into it then.

Brief Story Line

Story was set in the future where space travels were quite common and a lot of missions were done towards distant planets which would take many years to reach. During these travels, the crew were put in deep sleep but were able to live and control their dreams using technology called LM developed by Sweet Dreams Corporation. During a long mission on Mengya interstellar ship, a coder from Sweet Dreams named Xu Tianbao (Dylan Wang - Light to the Night TV series, I Dreamed a Dream etc) had awakened from his sleep earlier and later saw an explosion on certain part of the ship.
