It is mesmerizing and emotional film. I was in tears in first fifteen minutes. Overflowing love and compassion of mother grips your heart. A woman has dared to live and dedicate for her daughter. What mother can do to nurture her daughter? She accepts abusive husband to nurture her kids. She does everything to educate her daughter in good surrounding and let her stand on her own feet. Many times she curses herself for not being able to serve as much she wished. For every mother, her kid is baby even though it is grown up. Mother symbolizes unconditional and selfless. I am fortunate to watch this movie in Korean film festival. This movie is evocative drama. Scripts, dialogues and characterization are powerful. Kim Hae-Sook performing a role of a mother has done incredible acting. This could be one of great Korean movies.
