    Heart breaking

    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.

    Spreads awareness, good movie.

    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.

    Not for the faint of heart

    This was a hard watch - not because it's an awful movie but because there is quite bit of child abuse happening. Think of a gangster films where a gangster beats up someone who owes them money or another gang member...but that someone is a child and the abuser is the step mother. It's that type of abuse happening on screen and it is rough to get through. I enjoyed it because it was a well done film - even if some of the characters weren't well flushed out - but I don't know if I can watch it again. I would recommend at least one viewing of this as it is worth the watch. I know it's a movie and everything is done safely and is fake, but the actress playing the step mother provably had to see a psychiatrist and a priest after some of those scenes.
