So funny. So good. The camera action alone is worth the price of admission. Such a great sense of humor and so many memorable quotes. This is a favorite Father's Day film, and the ending will tug at your heart strings. Utah!
One of my favorite quotes from the film: Glenn (after telling one of his botched Pollack jokes): It's a crazy world.
Hi: Somebody should sell tickets.
Glenn: Yeah, I'd buy one!
Highly recommended without even describing the plot, the zany characters, the pitch-perfect dialog, the amazing cinematography, and, of course, the story of a couple of misfits that wanted to have a family.

Yes, amazing drama. I can't say enough about the impact of this series. The performances are outstanding, the story is gripping, the writing is top notch, the direction is just right, keeping this drama moving forward with no filler, no wasted scenes.
Yes, there are a few of the long staring matches that many romantic K-dramas utilize, but they are kept to a minimum. The interpreted lyrics of the pop songs can often interfere with dialog, but if you are interested in the story, this will be minor.
This is not your typical Korean love story. It is a human drama, very real, very tragic, with unforeseen twists and turns. It's the story of children and their mothers and it is near perfect. The young Heo Yool (Hye Na/Yoon Bok) steals this drama with her performance of the abused child, but the entire cast is excellent, especially all the mothers. I was hooked about 15 minutes into the first episode.
Mothers and daughters, especially, watch this series. It is highly recommended. But be warned: domestic violence is not a light subject. Have the tissues nearby.

This TV show was a bit of fantasy. It's about some people who have a condition called Gender Transformation. For one reason or another they change from a man to a woman or a woman to a man. At first I did not care for this premise, but it was actually interesting because it was more about acceptance and love than it was about a fictitious medical condition. The more I watched, the more I liked it.
The performances were all convincing enough for this PG-13 Japanese series, with some sexual situations but nothing graphic. The constant pop songs over the dialog is a bit annoying, but I was able to tune it out and listen to the characters. And the ending was a bit surprising. At only 8 episodes of 45 minutes each, it's not a huge commitment. I ended up liking it enough to write this review.
