There is a reason why this movie has such high ratings. It's not just a movie but a piece of art that seriously touches you deep within.

The premises is simple - an intellectually disabled father is found guilty for a murder that he didn't commit and throughout it all his daughter, Ye Seung stuck by him. He is sentence to prison and placed in Cell no. 7 with inmates. He is treated badly at first because of the fact that he was charged with the murder and rape of a child. Though as the story progresses people begin to realise that a guy like this couldn't have possibly done something atrocious as that!

What I see and feel in this movies is just love in the purest kind. Their father and daughter bond was for me the driving force of the story.
There were times when I felt so much anger for the injustice.
Times when I laughed my ass off because it was so damn hilarious!
Times when I cried my heart out because of the beauty of the story, the characters and the unbelievably heart warming relationship.

My sister and I watched it together and we literally used up the entire box of tissue! I recommend everyone to watch it because it is just such an amazing story and the feels are OVER THE ROOF!

I had this movie on my list as plan to watch for quite sometime now. And its such a regret to be watching it only today. I initially thought the story is like the movie "I Am Sam" but its totally different. Overall, the cast did a great job on portraying their individual roles. I can't imagine myself crying but this movie is a real tear-jerker especially at the last part, I just can't stop my tears. I am not a so fan of heavy dramas but this really blew me away. The saddest part is, the story may be fiction but in reality it happens, it can happen. It is indeed a masterpiece. Anyone who kept this in their plan-to-watch list must watch it asap. Anyone who doesn't include this on their list to watch yet, better not be a loser and watch it now.

I have seen so many different korean movies and this was definitely one of the best movies out there. It's incredible. It can make you laugh out loud and the next moment you will cry like a baby. The actors were perfect for this movie. I never thought a little girl could pull this off. Kal So Won is absolutely amazing.
There were moments where i could feel my heart break. Even now, 20 minutes after i ended this movie, i can still feel tears in my eyes. I have never ever cried like this while watching a movie. At the end, there was this moment where i cried so much i thought i was going to break down.
I'd love to watch it again but i don't think i can. I already have a headache because of crying so much.
10 points out of 10.

A must watch movie! I have recommend this movie to almost all my friend and they all felt the same. Its a great movie that will bring you pure happiness, along with some heartfelt moments - or maybe a lot.

Its hard to write a review without giving away too much. To anyone who is debating on watching this movie. Just watch it. Its worth every minute.

One of the best Korean movies I've seen. And one of the few to make me cry my eyes out.

If you enjoy watching dramas that include tragedy and comedy this is the one to watch. I've watched for about 3 times already and it didn't fail to make me laugh or cry so hard.

Great movie,great actors, and amazing music. As the movie goes along you are able to feel what the characters feel and sympathize to the situations they face.

There are rarely any movies that I consider masterpieces. This movie just happens to be one of them. Not only did this movie warm my heart, it also made me cry. Lots.

I'm not going to say much but I am going to say this. This movie is a definite must see. I completely recommend it with all my heart and if you didn't like it then there must be something wrong.

This story is perfect but I gave it a 9/10 because it was so sad and it made me so mad....I'm not going to say why. You have to see it to know how I feel.

I would and wouldn't watch it again. If I decide to watch it again I don't want to watch it by myself because at the end I totally wanted to hug my mom but I was alone.

This movie is a masterpiece. The story will make you feel up and down. You'll smile, laugh and feel heart warmed. But you'll also cry, feel angry and going to be upset. This movie will run trough so many emotions, and you are going to feel even tired after this movie, I did.

This story is truly amazing, and when you are watching this movie, you are going to be sucked in this movie. They really did an amazing job. The actors did a great job and they were so believe-able! The music also played a lot with your feelings, and they did a superb job on that one!

I would rewatch this movie only if I have too. Because I really cried my eyes out, but if you feel like a day of sobbing, you can rewatch this.

This movie is uplifting and down lifting and somehow at the end you'll find peace in this movie.

I had been hunting for this movie after a friend suggested I see it. I am NOT an emotional movie/drama watcher, I don't cry, or get 'feels'. This movie very much affected me. I was very moved by the story, and how it was portrayed. There were wonderfully funny moments and parts that really make you feel for the characters. This movie really broke through my stone heart. So if you cry easily, get the Kleenex ready.

If I could give this movie a higher rank, I would give it in a second, that's how good this movie is.
This movie is a perfect masterpiece, which combines a heartbreaking story about a mentally handicapped man who becomes a victim of the law, stunning visuals and top notch acting from every member of the cast. All this creates one of the most beautiful movies I have ever watched.
The story has a sad tone, but it also manages to makes us laugh a lot of times. The relationship between Ye Seung and the prisoners of cell No.7 was definitely the highlight of the movie, creating heart warming and tragic moments at all times.
The acting was excellent. The movie relied a lot on Kal So Won, the little girl who played Ye Seung and she definitely delivered. She was the one who set the tone to the whole movie, because we saw the movie through her eyes. If I had to name the weakest link, it would be Park Shin Hye. Not because she lacks acting skills, but because she felt really disconnected from the rest of the cast.
The music blended perfectly and it added a lot of feelings to the scenes. It let us know when to laugh and when to cry, and it was so natural that you didn't even notice it.
I will definitely rewatch this movie a lot of times, and it will still make me cry and laugh like a baby.
I would recommend this movie to anyone, because it's the kind of movie that makes us appreciate the humor in tragedies, and even though it's tragic, it reminds us that there is love out there, that there are good people.
Seriously, if you haven't watched it, go watch it now!

It was the incarnation of tearjerker! My eyes are still burning right now. And it was fun too, at some scenes I really had to laugh. The movie was well made and the actors were amazing, but it was not that unique of a story. A story is really unique for me, when I couldn't have thought of it myself. But it wasn't a typical story. The characters just didn't have much depth to them. I know you can't get that deep in about 90 min time, but I wished there was at least one really surprising thing. And sometimes the twists weren't very well thought out. Lots of things would never have worked that way in real life. If it seems I didn't like the story, you are completely wrong. I really really really enjoyed the movie and it is definetely worth watching!!! I just had too high expectations, because it was rated No. 1 and everyone was praising it so much. But the acting is really superb, especially Ryu Seung Ryong did a extraordinary job in believable portraying a mentally disabled person!

Definitely one of the best movies I've watched in a very long time. Very touching and genius story accompanied with amazing casts. Definitely recommend it to everyone and anyone! =D Will definitely be watching it again as it was a very good movie.
Didn't expect the story to be so touching and at the same time comedic. It is definitely a great 2 hour and 7 minute of your time. I liked how the movie had a very good flow and nothing was too rushed or long winded. Masterpiece!
