Comedy / 110 min.

For those who love comedies, the Korean movie industry has been too serious in the past few months mainly because hard-core thrillers and action-packed films have been dominant. But with its silly yet zany characters, "He's on Duty" will allow viewers a moment to laugh out loud.

Directed by Yook Sang-hyeon , who produced the hit comedy film "Hi, Dharma 2: Showdown in Seoul" (2004), "He's on Duty" uses the high unemployment rate as a theme for the film. Leading character Bang Tae-sik (Kim In-kwon) is sick and tired of receiving failure notices from the companies he applies to. One day he realizes he is often mistaken for a foreign migrant worker and decides to disguise himself as a man from Bhutan named Banga in order to get a job. The film focuses on the trouble he, and his disguise, cause.

Yook said this film does not look down on migrant workers, but that he tried to spotlight the lives of minorities and the young generation, who are struggling to make ends meet with low monthly wages and tough lives.

"He's on Duty" does not feature any A-list actors but Kim In-kwon, who has played numerous supporting roles in famous Korean films like "Haeundae" (2009), proves he deserves to become a leading actor.
