My First Client

Telling youse how society can be disgustingly ignorant.. Disgusting neighbors.. Disgustingly helpless..

Watching this, is hard.. I want to take this matter to my own hand..

Emotionally scored 8 of 10..

Although the storyline of this film is relatively easy to predict, it does not reduce its emotional power, considering that this film is based on a very touching true story. I personally cannot imagine experiencing a traumatic event like this in real life. The struggle of the siblings in facing life's difficulties and achieving happiness amidst limitations is very inspiring and touching. The acting of the little sister deserves a thumbs up; they appear very natural and convincing, so that she is able to make the audience feel the emotions she feels. Likewise, the acting of the stepmother who successfully conveys the complexity of the emotions of an antagonistic and inhumane stepmother. Throughout the film, I felt very sorry and sad to see the indifference of the adults around them. The conflict presented in this film is very strong and the climax feels very intense, successfully making me carried away by the story and feel quite heartbreaking emotions.

I just started watching Korean crime and other true story movies a while ago, and I haven't watched many, but this one is pretty good. I think that most, if not all protagonists/characters in this movie are quite likable, except for the abusive parents, of course. The actor who played the lawyer is very talented. He is caring to the children, while also being able to focus on his job and promotions. Both kids acted very well for being very young, and the movie is realistic.

I'm surprised at the end to learn about that how many cases remain being unsolved and people just ignore it. It was my 2nd movie about child abuse and first was ''Go back''. But, I still can't believe those movies are based on true events. I am so emotionally touched and feel poor these kids who suffered or have been suffering. I don't know abusing child in Korea ever going to stop.

However,talking about the movie, movie is amazing. Specially, the girl and the step mother did a wonderful job. All the time, while watching this movie, I felt like, I can feel the girl's pain. Though I hate the step mother for her wrong doings but couldn't resist myself from praising her, realllyy!! Outstanding acting.

You would really need to rethink about parenting after seeing this movie. What is child abuse? What is child discipline? What's the difference between those two? When is someone said to have crossed the line?

A girl and his little brother boy have to face something very dark in their early years of life. And nobody comes to their rescue because they're too afraid to cross the family affairs boundaries. This is what actually happened in our society right now. And this movie peel it off mercilessly.

Definitely 8/10.
