Yes it certainly feels that way and the tone may be too varied, from earnest too completely silly and anything in between. But when it is funny (humans in animal costumes),it really is laugh out loud funny. Maybe I was in the right mood, or maybe this just has a certain quality to it. I'll opt to give it the benefit of the doubt and say it has quality. Certain things remain predictable, but the movie playing almost everything as straight as possible really lends to the heightening of the humor it has within. I'm more used to the thriller and action output that comes from South Korea, but this was a welcome change - one that really can work for you - with a really neat and nice message.
Plot summary
In order to make attorney at the law firm where he's a lowly assistant, Tae-soo (Ahn Jae-hong) is given the daunting assignment of keeping a failing zoo afloat for three months while the equity firm that took it over finds a buyer. That's no mean feat when it turns out the Dongsan Park establishment has sold off the majority of its main attractions. Aware of the time crunch involved in trying to import additional creatures, Tae-soo attempts to make a go of it by recruiting the remaining skeleton staff to pose in furry suits that can sort of look convincing if viewed from as far a distance as possible.

its refreshing ...
But far from original. a bell might ring if i say '' a fish called wanda'', well it has the basic comedy ideas from here, even though its very different and naturalized into the korean way of culture and behaviour. its a typical korean movie, with very vaying plotspeed and long playtime, but thats purely the only downsides i can commence.
because its a funny, complicated in all of its simplicity, very good acting, brilliant production, and as usual a beautiful score. this is a film meant for all ages, though with one enerving bear fight that may scare poor kindergardenists. nevertheless it has a friendly tone, very ecofriendly in its message, and a real recommend from the grumpy old man.

Too boring and long
There is nothing so special about this movie. The movie is bit boring but I must say, It comes with an unique concept. SERIOUSLY! Who ever think of presenting fake animals in a zoo? Though I found the movie boring and too long at the first, the middle part is full of fun elements. Espeically , their practising part and presenting themselves as real animals is really funnyy.
Besides,comedy scenes I didn't find anything interesting. Again the ending seems rushed.
The artists did a amazing job,can't blame them for story. Moreover, they did the costume part,which are really heavy. So,all credit goes to them for presenting a worst story with a better view.
So,better not to watch.
