I'm in the minority here. I really liked it. Keep in mind it's telling a story in only 1 hr 14 mins. I found it a melancholy story of 2 people with financial woes that were keeping their lives from being what they wanted their life to be...who can't relate to that.
I mention the length because everything has to happen somewhat quickly, but I think Ha Jin and Kang Seok's relationship came together comfortably and believable. However, after a certain revelation things turn ugly. It was poignant and sadly disappointing when Ha Jin rejects Kang Seok. It breaks your heart that she seems to be completely heartless and materialistic no matter what the justification. Then when Kang Seok nearly follows suit in wishing his own sick mother would either get well or die so he can get on with his life really shocks you...but...if we are to be honest with ourselves we likely have been nearly as selfish at some point.
However, in the end both come to their senses, unfortunately for Ha Jin it's too late. Yet, Kang Seok's kindness will forever be Ha Jin'S as he will forever watch over her from a far. A bittersweet end.

an early gem

I see a lot of hate for the depressing storyline and ending, but this is the harsh reality of making a living in South Korean society on a middle-class salary (they're not day laborers or entrepreneurs) when your family doesn't have the resources for hospital bills or rental deposits. But remarkably, in just 75 minutes, you're left with the hope that it is possible to give and receive love generously regardless of debt. The two actors do a credible job of making their relationship believable.

Not all of the characters are fully fleshed out, but that's ok; you can still understand what drives one character to end everything. The final scene is just heartbreaking.
