    Outstanding plot, and writing....

    As usual of oriental films it seemed a little long, but I'm American so it might be my problem but that is why I gave it an 8. The actors were awesome, the writing fantastic, the plot line was very original right to the end. I would consider this a great family film.

    Family emotional movie, underrated.

    A must watch and most underrated movie. Touching one. Good movie. The character, who plays the role of a father and a daughter is groundbreaking.👍

    Incredible

    Loved this movie a lot. Great story from start to finish and the acting is superb from the two leads to the rest of the actors supporting. I won't say too much but you may need a hanky or two. Definitely goes down as a favourite 10/10.

    Very moving story - watch it to the end

    Very moving story. A mentally impaired man meets his daughter who is sick. They take a trip to Daegu. Like many Korean movies there is more emotional connection than expected especially when the back story is revealed. After that it's quite moving. Cleverly written incorporation of true events. The usually tough guy Cha refrains from overacting. The little girl is good. Watch this to the end.
