If you are looking for a great movie to watch, well this is the one!!!
The movie is about the life of inmates who are inspired to show their talents to other people outside the jail.

I was carried away by the great acting of the actresses especially the main ones, Kim YunJin of Lost, and Na Moon Hee of Padam Padam. The drama of this movie works because it builds emotion right up until the end and it shows how prejudice people are on inmates. I give this movie a perfect 10 because it is superb!!!

*Ladies and gentlemen please be warned that you need a tissue box near you when you watch this movie. It is a necessity. And also prepare to look like a mess. *

Story:
You don't understand how amazing this movie is. To people who have viewed others who went to jail with disgust or contempt. Young lady/man you better go and watch this. It will change your thoughts/feelings on this matter. The theme of this movie is not a light one. But the director made it work. A woman who is convicted of manslaughter for accidently killing her abusive husband. Gives birth in jail and chooses to raise her baby boy, Min Woo. But heres the catch, she can only keep him for 18 months. Then afterwards he is sent to adoption. Seriously she made the right choice. You should see the baby boy (absolutely gorgeous), his always smiling and filled with life. There's also the inmates, each with their own story to tell.

Acting/Cast:
The acting was perfection. Whoever played the role for baby Min Woo is the best! I'm a sucker for babies!
Kim Yoon Jin is such an azmazing actress. Her betrayal of Jeong Hye is flawless. I could not imagine someone else even playing the role. She's a woman who loves her baby boy above everything and anything. I love her.
Na Moon Hee, Lee Da Hee, Kang Ye Won, Jung Soo Young, Park Jun Myun are all very commendable actresses. There are others as well but their the main ones. Everyone had this atmosphere, where they feed of each others energy. It was amazing!

Music:
*tears* When they all sang together, I felt like angels were singing. Especially the ending songs, I couldn't stop crying. Music is a very important part of this film.

Rewatch:
You must be all wondering why on earth I haven't given a 10 for this. There is only one reason, I don't want to have another cry fest.

Overall:
10/10. What is there more to say. Except GO AND WATCH IT NOW!

Of all the sad dramas and movies that made me shed rivers of tears, this film is placed firmly in mind. A film that tells us a very difficult and painful story with a high delicacy and an oustanding beauty. A real pearl of Korean cinema wich impresses me and delights me more and more.
The story was very inspiring yet heartbreaking, I started to cry even while watching the trailer and the end was extremely moving.

This is my first review. I just felt I had to talk about this movie. I literally just finished watching it. (the credits are rolling as we speak). Wow this movie was absolutely beautiful. The acting was very well done by everyone. There were moments when I laughed. And there were many moments when I cried. In fact, it seemed like I spent a majority of this movie crying. My mom was giving me weird looks because I kept pausing the movie to get more tissues. Usually, I don't like to watch movies that make me cry. However, I was so moved by this movie. At the end, I still managed to smile and feel satisfied with the ending.
I'm really glad that I watched this movie and I feel this is definitely one that you should watch. Don't be intimidated by the fact that I was crying a ton. I still really enjoyed the movie and will definitely watch it again.

This film managed to push just about all of my emotional buttons. I smiled, laughed and cried. Especially cried. One definately becomes friends with these characters and feels their pain. It was a beautiful movie filled with intense emotions and the need to hold on to the hope. Character development was excellent. The film was shot beautifully. I know from experience the power of singing in a group has and the connections that can be made in that group. This movie was fantastic.

This movie is one of the best Korean movies I have seen. I think that it's a shame that it's not as popular as others and that more people should watch it as well. The cast the plot and the music all felt perfect together.
You think that these women would be mad crazy people but, once you see their stories and their reasons you start to think about it. and it's true most women have to go trough some hard thing in order to survive just that some of them can't seem to get away from their problems and end up doing things that they regret.
It's rare that I cry while watching a movie and this movie made me cry so hard my head hurts. It's heartbreakingly good.

This movie is just a pearl.
I never though I would have cried that much if I would have watch it but ths movie is really heart-warming.
You learn and you understand a lot of things:
- always live your life while you can
- don't judge people by their appearance
- be strong and smile
Despite, all this good advices, the most important subject is the MOTHER: "omma". After watching this movie, I think that my mother is the most beautiful person in the world.
A mother's love is eternal.

Best Korean movie I have seen! I had no plans to write a review about this movie but after I watched it I just felt like I had to do so. Amaizing, amaizing and yet again amaizing.

If you are looking for comedy then this movie isn't for you. But if you are looking for a deep movie that can make you think of your family and friends, then this is for you. This movie is different, there aren't any bad people in it even though it's about jail/crime. After having watched TV a lot, I have always felt like there aren't any good people left in this world but this movie proved me wrong. Yes, it's only a movie but there are definitely people like them. This movie really touched me and made me to look to the brighter side of life. The way they were helping and supporting each other was just beautiful. Just fantastic!

although I'm a guy, this movie really touched my soul and made me cry my eyes out especially when the little kid was adopted and taken away from her mother was so sad. But the mother really knew how to move on even though she had her son deep in her heart.

The acting was fantastic and real. You can't take anything away from them for pulling off such an amaizing performance. Absolutely top notch! The whole cast, director and writer deserves a huge standing ovation for this fantastic movie.

And the music, WOW!!! I'm listening to it right know while I'm writing this review. Jea's and Lee young Hyun's voices are just wow. And the actual song is really good as well which made the movie even more awesome since there was so many touching scenes! Brilliant! Deserves credit!

Overall, If you haven't watched it, watch it. This is it, a real movie. If you are looking for something like that... WATCH IT!!!! You'll not regret. 11/10!!

Monday, March 4th, 2013. Just finish watching "Harmony" Korean Movie. I still have tears in my eyes. This is a beautiful movie to watch. This is about female inmates who are given 6 months to prove they can make up a choir, an idea by one of the inmates who bears a baby in prision who is later adopted removing the child from the prision invoirnment. A female inmate who was a professor of music helps to build the choir but also has a death sentance awaiting her. This is an emotional movie. A must see. Guaranteed to stir your emotions. You will enjoy it as I have.

This movie deserves an infinite amount of stars! ⭐️

If everyone involved with the production, the story, and everything in this movie could get a dollar for every time it manages to make me teary-eyed, they would all definitely be a millionaire! I saved this movie for a special movie night with my siblings when we all gather for a sleepover, and I must say this movie was the perfect pick! I tend to avoid watching tearjerker movies since I know I would be a total crybaby every time I watch them, so I thought watching this movie together with my cousins and my sister would be perfect!

I just don’t know where to start with this movie. Everything was perfect. Whether it was the acting, the story, and gosh—the MUSIC! It was heavenly. Traumerei was an excellent choice! And I just think that everyone did a really great job portraying all their characters. Even though this movie was mostly depressing, heartbreaking and sad, I definitely found myself smiling and laughing heartily on some of the scenes—which I think it was hard to do but they managed to wrap it all up perfectly!

The only thing bothering me is the ending. It seemed like something wasn’t finished, like it was cut off. There weren’t even any credits in the end, which I think was odd. But still, I think this movie was really really beautiful. Although heartbreaking, I would love to rewatch this anytime! Overall, a 10/10 for sure! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This movie was great! It was such a tearjerker for me. Every single character in here portrayed their role greatly. And no matter what crime they did, all of the characters had a reason to do so and each of them became very involved with another and was very likable. It made jail life seemed like you can still have a life there and a feeling of almost hope. For this movie, I got so much to say but all I can say for this movie is that it is OUTSTANDING! I really recommend this movie..

This is the first time I am writing a review as this movie compels me to do so. I have never cried a thousand tears because of a movie. But somehow, the story captured my heart in every possible way. The love of a mother, the loneliness of being locked away and the struggle to find comfort with your inmate. All of these, have led me to realize that we should never let a cold heart ruin our lives. We should never let our pain poison the kindness within us. I realize the value of our loved ones specially when they are being taken away from us. This movie made realize a lot of things. I hope you watch it.
