A detective, a secret agent wife, and five kids caught in the middle of a criminal takedown — Netflix’s newest Korean action-comedy is officially in production. Two Cops and Five Kids marks the first time Cha Tae-hyun and Uhm Ji-won will share the big screen as an on-screen married couple, and the setup alone promises chaos.
What’s the Story About
Netflix’s official logline sets the tone: a detective suddenly finds himself solely responsible for his five kids when his wife leaves on what looks like a trip but is actually a covert mission. While he juggles parenting and prepping for a promotion exam, the whole family gets pulled into an operation to take down a criminal organization. It’s a premise built for slapstick family chaos wrapped around genuine stakes.
