Revisiting the frequently tense relationship between Seoul and Pyongyang, director Kim Sung-hoon (My Little Hero) lightens things up a bit with Confidential Assignment, a comedic thriller featuring mismatched cops working at cross-purposes on a clandestine case.

I’ve got a wonderful comic strip here created by Patrick Quach called Little Hero. It tells the story of a young boy who, bored in school, gets sucked into his imagination where he embarks on an adventure to save a girl from a villainous octopus-like creature. It's a wonderfully charming story. I enjoy stories that dive into the imagination of children because that’s the kind of kid I was growing up — I would get lost in my imagination, and these kinds of stories bring back some of those nostalgic memories. I'd love to see someone animate this and bring it to life.
