[First Reactions]

〈OK! MADAM2〉, the sequel to the 2020 action-comedy 〈OK! MADAM〉, opens Aug. 12 after the original won over audiences during the COVID-19 pandemic with broad laughs and high-energy action. The film follows the family of former legendary agent Mi-young, who set off on a luxury cruise and becomes entangled in a hijacking in the middle of the open sea. Cineplay reviewer Kim Ji-yeon saw the film at a press screening ahead of its release.

The action is flashier, but the comedy feels dated. Though most of the story takes place aboard a cruise ship, the movie adds visual variety with action set pieces staged in a magic-show venue, on the beach and inside a cave. That makes the sequel more visually dazzling than the previous installment, which was largely set on an airplane, and it also raises the intensity of the action. But the full-scale action doesn’t arrive until after the midpoint, so whether the first half’s humor lands will determine many viewers’ reactions. This is a sequel you can enjoy even if you haven’t seen the original.
