I agree that the translations are not completely accurate, but they do not detract from the film. If you are versed in the socio-political environment in which this film is made it is excellent. Although not nearly as good as "JSA" it is an excellent effort by a Korean film maker. The plot is a little unbelievable (secret microphones in live fish?), but what action drama is. It is good entertainment. The stunts are well choreographed and the foley is pretty good. The explosions are a little over the top however. The gunfight in the street could use some polish as well. The sub plots do work pretty well if you understand the situation on the Korean peninsula. I especially liked the opening with the depiction of the North Korean spy school.
