A reverse comedy that tells the story of a perfectionist assassin who falls and hits his head in a sauna, giving him amnesia. When a down-and-out actor switches locker keys with him, they switch lives until the hit-man, who soon becomes an action hero on TV, starts to remember things.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The 'jjimjilbang' (sauna) setting isn't random—it's one of few Korean public spaces where class distinctions temporarily dissolve, making the identity swap almost cosmically appropriate.
This is a remake of 2012 Japanese film 'Key of Life'—but the director leaned harder into Korean action-comedy tropes, particularly the absurdity of gangster cinema becoming respectable entertainment.
