    8/10
    A quite nice movie to watch at home only
    A fiction story which most people thought its real.

    The story is nice in most parts but some details still non-realistic and ignored by director and producers.

    Its not advisable to spend watching in cinema but rather good at home. I will not say the story is that very good (only above average) and I believe the production team can do better.

    Overall 7.6/10, still better than most Korean losily made movies and dramas eventhough some are progresing fast.
