User Reviews

Great film!

It has so many happy moments, but a deep sense of sadness throughout. The main actress, Hye-jeong Kang, does an amazing job portraying a mentally disabled woman. All of the actors are really good, but she stands out. I highly recommend this film, though it's definitely not a good choice for a first date (too sad).
