    Familiar premise, well done but just too sad for me

    The premise has been used numerous times like in "Heaven Can Wait" and others. Played out to pull on your heart strings. As a whole it was interesting, had a few laughs but its not for everyone. Some scenes I found just too sad or upsetting to me. If you are sensitive as I am, then I do not recommend. Otherwise, if you can deal with extreme sadness, then you'll enjoy this movie.

    Original Title: Miss Wife. A good heartwarming movie.

    You've seen movie like this a lot, its still formulaic, cliché and everything. But, if it still make you wanna watch it till the end, it still got you. Wonderful Nightmare just like any movie from the same genre that tell you about some bad people who got into some other medium that will change their life forever. We know what will happen in the end, whether the main character will change or not, but we still enjoy watching their transition. I love this movie, well-crafted film making, with some experienced korean actors, nice script and everything. I totally recommend this movie for all korean cinema lover. Even for anyone who want to try some korean cinema, this one can be quite a good start. Enjoy!

    I can't say much

    I wanted to give a long description but the other reviewers have already pretty much said what I wish to write. The ending is pretty predictable but the progression of the story feels very natural so it is very easy to understand why this movie would make you feel attached with the main character.

    However, I do want to add on that this movie is one of the best Korean movies I have seen in a while!

    I didn't want to cry but, I did!

    Seriously, what's with korean people that they keep on being able to make great movies?! This is a wonderful movie! I think everyone should see this! This is underrated but, I give it a sounding 10 and a 100x thumbs up! :)) Ps: don't forget to bring some tissues with you!
