Meanwhile, when Daeguk sees Jiwoo with former gangster businessman Jo Taecheon (played by Choi Byeongmo), he realizes his greed and potential and starts a 'hospital business'. Ji-woo was once a famous plastic surgeon. However, due to the so-called 'ace surgery' scam, his license was suspended and his hospital stripped, and he worked as a shadow doctor to pay off his debt.

Kang Dae-guk, played by Ma Dong-seok, spreads fake lies and executes everything from tricks to illegal acts without hesitation. If 'Criminal City' Maseok-do captivated the audience with fair punishment, 'Apkkoojeong' Kang Dae-guk was not strong enough to attract favor with the character himself. There is no probability or justification for his actions but only in the pursuit of success, so it is difficult to wallow in them. The humorous points raised here and there are not new. This is not because of a difference in taste, but because the number is obvious to read as you are familiar with Ma Dong-seok's comedy.
Among them, the acting breath of Ma Dong-seok and Jung Kyung-ho helps to relieve boredom. Although they have known each other for more than 20 years, the two, meeting each other for the first time through work, did not lose their chemistry even in humorous situations (humorous and sad). In particular, from the physique to the tone, the way of posing, the personality of the characters are contrasted and show the 'synergy'.
Here, Oh Na-ra plays Oh Mi-jeong, the head of the in-house plastic surgery clinic, Choi Byung-mo plays Jo Tae-cheon, a big businessman, and Oh Yeon-seo plays Hong Gyu- ok, the director of a VIP-only salon, invigorating the play. Special unexpected appearances such as Kim Sook, Lee Ji-hye, and Jin Seon-gyu also brought small laughs. The film has a length of 112 minutes, classified for audiences 12 years and older.
