Total Assistance 1 Poster
"Total Assistance 1" tells the story of North Korean special forces leader Che Qizheng secretly created a US dollar template with the intention of disrupting the global financial market to make huge profits. Lin Zheling (also translated as Ren Tie-ling) played by Hyun Bin in the exchange of fire with his team, his subordinates and even his wife all died, leaving only himself to survive alone. The senior military and political leaders of North Korea ordered that the counterfeit banknote template must be recovered, and Lin Zheling was determined to chase Che Qi and avenge his wife.
Che Qizheng fled and moved to Seoul, South Korea. The senior officials of the North Korean military also took advantage of the talks between the north and the south to launch joint assistance operations with the South Korean police and arrest Che Qizheng together. But in fact, the South Korean police knew nothing about Che Qizheng's true identity and the actual purpose of the North Korean official, so they sent a so-called criminal policeman Kang Zhentai (played by Liu Haizhen) to assist Lin Zheling in arresting Che Qizheng, but in fact they were perfunctory and monitored the North Korean side's actions.
In the process of pursuing criminals, the two people are sometimes hostile and sometimes cooperative in the case handling process leads to many ridiculous stories. The ending of the video at at that time also leaves a foreshadowing, indicating the possibility of a second part.

After 5 years, amid the anticipation of the industry and movie fans, the second part finally came out, and is scheduled to be released in South Korea on September 7, 2022. It's just one month since its release, so how is "Group Help 2" performing?
Because the previous title is both well-known and popular, the second part is naturally quite stressful. As can be seen from the name "Co-Assistance: International", this film has greater ambitions. Not only will South Korea and North Korea, but international forces will also intervene, and this international force fell on the United States without any surprise. The production fee for the second part of
also increased from the original 10 billion won to 15 billion won. All the main actors returned, and the director handed over to the director of Rishi Chen, who was also the director.

Hyun Bin's clean and neat fighting scenes in the first part are impressive, and the action scenes in the second part are even upgraded. There are wonderful action scenes at the beginning, and the battle location is even on the streets of New York, which also attracts the power of the US. North Korean detective Lin Zheling and US FBI agent Jack (played by Daniel Heini) jointly escorted Zhang Mingjun (played by Chen Shangui), a transnational drug dealer from North Korea, fighting with the enemy on the streets of New York, causing heavy losses to the US and North Korean personnel. Zhang Mingjun took the opportunity to escape to South Korea in an attempt to create new drugs. Lin Zheling and FBI agent Jack also came to South Korea one after another, and the story officially began.

And South Korea, Jiang Zhentai, who failed in the process of trapping habitual criminals forged documents, was transferred to the Cyber Crime group, but he was still eager to return to the Guangsou team. Although has not many scenes in the first part, Yoona, who has a brilliant performance because of its interesting role, still stays at the home of her sister and brother-in-law, and becomes a Youtube beauty anchor, but no one watches it, resulting in a dismal income, and can only earn 100 won a day on average.

When the North Korean side represented by Lin Zheling went to South Korea to hunt down the head of drug trafficking group Zhang Mingjun, he once again made a request for co-help to the South Korean side, while Kang Zhentai, who wanted to return to the Guangsou team, took the initiative to ask for the task without telling his wife and daughter. The two met again due to the mission, and they were naturally happy. After all, they had a life-long friendship in the first part. Unfortunately, they had different positions after all. On the surface, they seemed to have a close cooperation, but in fact they still had their own plans in their hearts.
However, for several years, my sister-in-law Min-young, who has been obsessed with Lin Zheling, was ecstatic and asked Zheling about her well-being. All of this was disrupted by Jack's appearance. Not only South Korea and North Korea's combat plans were restricted by the United States everywhere. Even Min-young was fascinated by Jack who was handsome, gentle and considerate to girls. Cheoling, who was neglected, was even more unhappy with Jack.
Note: The handsome uncles (and Liu Haizhen) are in the community!
If you are Minying, would you choose Zheling or Jack?
The United States, South Korea and North Korea, which should have cooperated with each other, are all fighting each other on the surface because of their respective little scoundrels, and behind their backs, which also provides an opportunity for villain Zhang Mingjun to take advantage of. In order to arrest Zhang Mingjun, the three temporarily abandoned their prejudices and cooperated. Minying also volunteered to join the action. The pursuit process was full of dangers, which made people sweat from time to time.

compared to the first part, and it has invested more money in this part. It has been more than a month since its release date. has led the box office for 9 consecutive days since its release date. In addition, there is no new film released during the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday. As of October 8, the number of viewers of has reached 66.34 million . Although there is still room for growth in the future, the increase will not be too large. In the end, it may be slightly lower than the 7.81 million viewers of the first part of , which may be the same as that of .
has also received widespread praise in terms of reputation. Currently, the rating of 8.03 points on the Korean Naver website (the first part is 8.83 points) is also a very good result. Overseas viewers and Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan who have seen it on Douban have also generally achieved 4 and 5 stars.
action scene
Korean dramas have been emerging one after another, and it is not easy to shoot new ideas. As an action comedy, "Group 2" has many plots that echo the first one, and there are more unexpected reversals than the first one. In addition, the characters are distinctive, and the drama conflicts with and laughs, and the action scenes are even more relaxed and relaxed.
, especially the battle of life and death on the rooftop of a skyscraper. Even though we know that the protagonist has the halo, it still makes the protagonists who are hanging on the line for their lives worry. The final solution highlights the theme of "Co-Assistance: International", which is a rare sequel.
However, because the director paid too much attention to the international pattern of the second part, he focused on the action scenes and funny scenes, resulting in the main line of the narrative being a bit loose, but the flaws do not hide the merits. "Group Help 2" is still worth watching.
It is worth mentioning that " Help 2: International " is the second collaboration between Hyun Bin and Daniel Heini after 17 years. So which work was the first collaboration between the two? The answer is , which was popular all over the streets and alleys back then. "My name is Jin Sanshun" ! Speaking of whether some friends have already remembered this, that's right, Daniel Heini is the gentle second male lead in that drama. Now 17 years have passed, both of them are more mature and charming.
2005 "My Name is Jin Sanshun" activity picture, it has been 17 years in a flash! The two of them who were still very young at that time
Finally, I remind everyone that you must not rush to turn off the main film. Then there is a small easter egg that is still unsatisfied with . Whether the easter egg represents the possibility of the third part is unknown. It depends on the choice of the director and the actors~
