Now what makes this show so enjoying to watch:-
The hilarious scenes hold each and every episode together moulded efficiently with the seriousness of the plot.I laughed so much in all the scenes almost equivalent to Eulachacha Waikiki (the best korean sitcom ever).
The use of M.I. theme and one time the Matrix theme caused my stomach to ache due to laughter really.
The KIS vs NIS comparison is hilarious as hell and almost all the supporting characters will do something silly or smart that you could not stop laughing ,even a kidnapping scene was so hilarious that sometimes you will smile even in serious situations.
KUDOS to the screenwriter for such smartass interweaving of comedy in seriousness.
The cute scenes of So Ji Sub babysitting the 2 naughty kids are a delight to watch, some people can watch this drama for this only but beware in the last 4-5 episodes our beloved Joon-Joon duo is absent for most part.
Story:-Its fine and has enough suspense to keep you hooked though this show is not on Stranger level when it comes to the thrill part nor the action can be compared to The K2 despite it being a spy drama.But still So Ji Sub has definitely the physique of a NIS agent and the hand-to-hand combat scenes were okayish.Clearly the comedy rather than action is the strong pursuit of this drama.The characters were not layered as such mostly black or white except Jin Young Tae but that caused no harm as it was not a serious drama.
Music:- Good and apt soundtrack is used at right situations but the OSTs are not that addictive.(depends on you taste though)
Cast:- So Ji Sub slays his role of a badass handsome spy disguised as a babysitter and every moment with him shines!
Son Ho Jun despite playing a bad boy is the scene stealer as he is downright hilarious whenever he calls Terius "Brother" resulting in great bromance and he simply delivers the best punchlines.
Jung In Sun had great chemistry with both the guys but unfortunately we don't get any kissing scenes :-( but still it was refreshing to see .Also her comic timing is pretty cool and she is not annoying at all and is shown as a smart & strong woman actively moving the plot forward.
Kang Ki Young just had a spectacular 2018 cementing him as a dependable supporting character and as expected he is hilarious.
Sung Joo along with Im Se Mi were pretty decent as well. Shoutout to all the ahjummas in KIS which were the sole reason for me to look forward to every episode.
Rewatch Value:- Hell yeah! I m going to watch again especially for the comedy bits which were freaking hilarious.
Overall Verdict: Its the best comedy that I have seen after Waikiki and as a light hearted family drama its a fun bandwagon to be a part of.PEACE OUT

Un voisin mystérieux, une maman solitaire de deux délicieux enfants...
Ce que j'en ai pensé :Que du bien !! Non qu’il n’y ait des défauts, (vraisemblance, intrigue policière assez téléphonée, quelques petites longueurs en particulier le dernier épisode…) mais j’y ai pris tant de plaisir que je me sentais toutes disposée à l’indulgence, ce qui m’arrive rarement !
Pourquoi tant de complaisance ? Mais c’est que ce drama est un cocktail très réussi entre une histoire d’espionnage assez crédible pour nous tenir en haleine, la naissance d’une solide affection entre un espion de renom international et deux adorables gamins, la façon dont la femme au foyer se montre au fur et à mesure plus maligne que les malins patentés, la solidarité réjouissantes d’un groupe de mamans dont la justification avérée est d’être au courant de tous les potins de la résidence, et la présence d’un escroc charmant mais très froussard qui a du mal à choisir son camp…
Il y a la bonne dose de gentils et de méchants, assez facilement reconnaissables pour un œil un peu averti, et il y a en plus la très jolie relation entre la femme au foyer et l’espion, que je ne qualifierai pas de « romance » mais plutôt d’une très tendre amitié, peut-être moins glamour mais tellement plus intéressante, jamais cucul, souvent très drôle et toujours touchante… Et la fin, elle est à la fois tout à fait attendue, et entièrement différente de ce à quoi on s’attend !
Bref, en ces temps de morosité, c’est tout à fait le drama que je conseille !

The exceptions are where the writers took the characters and put them in usually unexpected roles. The Ahjumma intelligence system, for instance, was hilarious and sheer genius - the writers took your average, nosey neighbour and turned them to a gang of mothers (and a stay at home father) who exchange the slightest of suspicion in their elaborate network. If anything, these mothers, particularly Ae-Rin's friends, kept the show alive. Then the interactions between the twins and Terius, Terius's friendship with the stay-at-home dad and Son Hoo Joon, and AeRin and Terius were truly hearttouching.
The FL and ML were smart in their own ways. I loved Ae Rin's cleverness, actually. I hate it when writers purposefully dumbed down characters, which thankfully wasn't the case, except in understandable situations.
My complaint, which has prevented me from giving thus drama more than an 8, is neglecting AeRin and her children a grieving period. After her husband dies, the writers forget that his absence should result in a hole in the family. I get it: AeRin was being strong and around episode 11, we see her break down. But at least give us a hint that she was trying to pull herself together through the episodes before that. What's more, her children never ask for their father, and we aren't even shown that they have understood that he's gone. In my opinion, had they delved a little more into showing the loss a family goes through, the relationship between Kim Bon and AeRin's family would have had a stronger and more bittersweet taste. Conveniently forgetting to show the struggles of losing a loved one made me somewhat disattached to the characters. Delving into a character's emotion at the right time, even for a little moment, can add substance to a story. The writers lost a huge chance to use the potential of the drama.
The music was beautiful. Heck, most kdramas never fail to share a nice original soundtrack. Moreover, they chose the correct instrumental for most moments, adding to the experience.
I'm unsure about rewatching this. I reckon, to replay certain moments, I would think of watching bits and pieces of an episode, but that's about it.

The story itself is not the best one I ever watched and can get a bit boring at times but still it worked !
I really loved the supporting cast ! KIS Rules and I think they kind of saved the drama from being too "boring"
The main leads are really good actors and children casting is good too ! Joon-Joon <3 the twins are cute and I really loved the Ko Ko kiss parts haha
If you don't know what to watch and want a nice story go for it the story king of let you in good mood when you end the drama. But i guess it's not a drama I would watch again and again like some others you still want to rewatch from time to time

So Ji Sub - 'nuff said!
I enjoyed this show for many reasons.1) So Ji Sub - I've got to admit, I love this actor. I love his chiseled good looks and how he can emote the heck out of a storyline just using his eyes. This part was perfect for him, plus we got to see something a little bit extra. I knew he'd be perfect as a spy, but I was surprised how much I loved watching him with the children.
2) About the children - W. C. Fields said never act with children or animals. At the beginning of this show, I couldn't have agreed with him more. These kids were a nightmare! But once they got to have Kim Bon as a babysitter, they were a joy to watch and so flipping cute.
3) Neighborhood secondary characters - oh, my goodness, they were a hoot to watch! There were a lot of laugh out loud moments with them, and I liked how the writers also got them involved in the spy side of things.
4) The spy team - there was good chemistry between these people. They looked like they'd have each others' backs in a dangerous situation. I enjoyed watching them, but I have to be honest, Im Se Mi and her beautiful short hairstyle kept grabbing my attention.
5) Jun In Sun as Go Ae Rin - I felt about her kind of like I felt about the kids. She was a mess at the beginning, I just wanted to sit her down and talk to her about providing some discipline for those nightmare children. The writers wrote this character well, she progressed in knowledge and maturity as the show went on. Granted, she made some poor choices, safety-wise, but those choices often furthered the storyline or provided comic relief.
6) Son Ho Jun as Jin Yong Tae - I kept going back and forth - bad guy? Not a bad guy? How can I enjoy watching a bad guy? He provided a lot of the comedy in this show, and every time he said something in English, it just cracked me up, for some reason.
This show seriously requires suspension of disbelief, which I knew going in. The comedy parts were very funny, the action/drama parts weren't too heavy. For some reason, I can't even find too much fault with the lack of romance (because that's what I want most in my shows). If you go into this show just for enjoyment and your expectations aren't too high, I think you'll love it.

cuteeeee
omggg relationship between so ji sub and the kids are so cuteeee!!! I swear i want them on the screen all the time (despite I'm not fond to kids that much). And so ji sub acting? Ugh looooooveeee!! Anyways, this drama has typical, predictable yet interesting storyline that keeps me going, it’s not that heavy and not quite light either, kinda mixed of both. The storyline was good and I love every characters. It was fun and I enjoyed it a lot.Do watch it if you need some light enjoyable drama, it will worth your time :))

Plot Armor is strong with this one aka Annoying FL
This show started off quite promising, with an interesting premise. Had just the right mix of everything, romance, comedy, mystery. Actors across the board where pretty good, as well as characters. But at some point the show just went off the rails, and the FL lead became so freaking annoying I could barely stomach it. In the beginning she was introduced as a typical stay at home mom, cute charming. But then at some point she just becomes a super hero. Why? Oh yeah because of the plot armor. She outsmarts 3 NIS agents and finds the hideout at Kings Bags, why? Oh she smart because she use to work at a tech company. wtf? On the bridge she takes over that NIS girl agents car and drives like a professional, forget that not even 2 episodes ago she could barely start it and was taking driving lessons from Kim Bom, jumps in the water and saves Kim Bom with all those NIS agents around. Why? Oh yeah ofc because her parents were a divers. DUH. I forgot to tell you. Vagina power or something. Ridiculous. Not to mention there’s absolutely no motivation for her to always put herself in quite dangerous situations, just because she curious. Really? Someone who has two kids at home and you’re snooping around first J International when you know it’s a shady company and then Kings Bag as well. The worst part of it is that her behavior completely changes as well. In the beginning the can-do attitude comes across as cute almost inspiring because it complements her desperate situation. But then when the “hero” delusions kick-in that same attitude becomes super obnoxious and all it does is, it reeks of entitlement.Best part of the show were the kids. I gave it 2 starts because of them and their relationship with Kim Bom.
