Let me start by saying this was such a unique idea for a movie! I decided to watch this not knowing what to think of the overall plot, but it turned out to be a good movie. The idea of having a transgender woman turn out to be a father to a son was a really creative twist. It's not something you hear about often in today's world and it made this movie distinct. The story was what originally drew me in, and after the credits rolled I thought it was worth the watch. In my opinion it wasn't over the top and remained emotionally mellow throughout the film. It was cute, heartwarming and left me feeling emotions I couldn't even really think of words for. It was a change from my recent choices in melodramatic movies and dramas. For once I didn't need to have a box of tissues handy. It had me giggling a couple times which is always good. Overall the cast was ok for me. Only a couple faces really stood out for me that I recognize from previous films and dramas. Son Ji-Hyeon's character irritated me a little bit in the sense that she clearly has feelings for Jun-Seo but denies those feelings when with him. In fact, she seemed rather cold and insensitve when around him. Whether that was due to her own emotional turmoil (loving him, but fearing his reaction upon discovering she was originally a man upon confession) or other reasons I just think it wouldn't have hurt the film for her to be more affectionate towards him. I really enjoyed Kim Ji Suk's role in this movie since the last thing I saw him in was Personal Taste. It was a nice change from being a shallow, selfish character to a loving, openly expressive man who doesn't hide his feelings. His role was sweet and loveable. Other than Kim Ji Suk nobody really left a mark in my memory, but that could just be because it was a mild film. Overall, the music didn't really stand out to me all that much. I don't recall any of the songs from the film. When I'm home alone and just want a relaxing movie, I might watch this again. It was enjoyable and I felt good after watching it.
