It's a good movie

I was surprised to find out it wasn't just a struggle over infertility between the couples. The movie had a deeper meaning to it. I thought it was fairly well done given that I had been repeatedly disappointed in watching bad korean films. The casts were well chosen and over all it's worthwhile watching this movie.

Korea is making some wonderful films, and this is one of them.

Wow! This film is the kind of movie that brings tears to your eyes and warmth to your heart. Everyone connected to "A Day" should be proud of their efforts. The emotions you feel for this childless couple are powerful reminders that love and life and family are among the best subjects for dramatic cinema. (This review is in regard to the dvd with English subtitles.) Some wonderful films are coming out of Korea, and this is one of them.

Great Acting and More

What can I say about this film? It's brilliant; Ko So-Young and Lee Sung-Jae are excellent as the married couple struggling to conceive. The only problem I had with the film is that it verge's a little to close to being sentimental during the early part of the film, but it's only a small problem. All in all the film builds up nicely and believably to what is an excellent and touching final 20 minutes. And for me the film stands as more evidence that South Korea is currently making many of the best films in the world (they have been since 1997).
