I watched this movie with two goals in mind: I wanted to cry, and I wanted to see Kim Go-Eun's beauty. However after watching, I only achieved the latter.
What made the film a bit difficult to empathize with, AT LEAST FOR ME, is how unconvincing grown up 'fake' Hye-Ji's attachment is to the grandmother. She only had a relatively short span of time spent with the grandmother, and didn't even bother to visit her again after she was caught with the identity theft. But suddenly she was so concerned and worried when grandma was reportedly lost, and even decided to be her personal caretaker.
On the other hand, the strength of the film lies with the acting. Although this was not Kim Go-Eun's strongest exhibit, it's definitely one of Yuh-Jung Youn's (grandmother) and would undoubtedly try to squeeze the hell out of your tear ducts.
