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.

A Long Visit is such a heartwarming movie. I knew within the first 10 minutes that I would love it, and I did. The story is told so well and the two lead actresses played their parts beautifully. It is truly a masterpiece. The theme of a mother/daughter relationship has been done countless times in the past, but few have been portrayed to the same calibre as A Long Visit.

This is a movie that will re-define your view of what a mother is. Whether it’s sacrificing her own life goals so that her child can achieve great things, or enduring a painful relationship for the sake of the children, Jisuk’s mother is a true example of how far a woman is willing to go to make her children happy.

It is a lesson on appreciating things we take for granted. Most of the time, that is something that we have from the beginning of our lives but never think twice about, because we don’t know any different: most of the time that is our own mother. Jisuk herself largely ignores her mother when she was young, wishing to get away from her family and live elsewhere. When Jisuk learns that her mother endures the beatings from her husband, simply so that her daughter can have a stable home, this is the moment that Jisuk (and the audience) realise just how deep a mother’s love is. The newly found love for her mother increases tenfold when Jisuk also becomes a mother and this is when she truly realises how much she means to her.

This is one very emotional movie so don’t be surprised if you find yourself shedding more than a few tears, especially during the latter half. I advise you have at least two packs of tissue before you begin this movie. Actually, have a third pack, just in case. You won’t forget a movie like this for a long time.

This is a must-see for everyone.

Fresh and cute rom com

5 reasons to watch Thong Ake Mor Yah Tah Chaloang:
- The male lead is not the typical rich jerk chaebol, he's kind, sweet, goofy yet very intelligent and a herbal master.
- The female lead is rich, stubborn, strong yet very smart and not a spoiled brat. She wants to defy the society norms regarding women and become a female herbal master.
- The chemistry between the ML and FL is insane !
- The FL best friend is hilarious, she hits on handsome guys all day long xD
- You will enjoy a beautiful rom com and get to learn about traditional thai medicine in the same time.
