How difficult is motherhood
Right from the start, the movie does a good job at showing the rough life of the main characters. It was a hard situation after a hard situation after another hard situation. I’m sure everyone has these days/times and faces those situations where everything you do doesn’t work out. did a really good job at portraying that, which is why I say it’s a very real movie. Even the details of the movie were real, such as it shining a light on the hardships of being a single parent. Also, the conflict/climax was based on real world problems, and thus, as you can probably expect, it gets pretty damn emotional.
Furthermore, the acting by the cast members were great. I absolutely loved the casting – The main casts Kim Hyang-Gi, Ryu Hyun-Kyung, and Yeom Hye-Ran are more familiar faces in Korean productions, and they were really great. The trailer of the film said that the character Hyang-Gi played had to grow up quickly, and I felt that that matched Kim Hyang-Gi perfectly. She has that young image and as if she’s a kid herself, so having an actress like her portray this role, it was like a kid having to take care of a kid, which gave a special emotional delivery that I think only she can deliver.
Ryu Hyun-Kyung also showed a phenomenal performance, and the chemistry between her and Kim Hyang-Gi was superb. The other main lead Yeom Hye-Ran was good as always, and was really good in that hard, tough, gangster-like role. I want to see her in more roles like this, and it’s really good to see her in more productions nowadays. She’s in 3 Korean movies just in the month of February 2021, , , and this.
And it wasn’t just the main leads that gave a performance; the supporting cast was amazing as well. It was my first time seeing actor Kim Hyun-Mok, but he was really good. He was in other smaller films such as and , but I’m really looking forward to seeing him in other works.
Even the performance by the baby was great! The kid cried so much and is such a physically big baby, but was so cute. The baby was actually played by two different baby actors, Tak Ji-Ahn and Tak Ji-On. I’m assuming they are twins that played the same character, much like how Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen both played the character of Michelle on the American TV show “Full House.” Anyways, great, great performances by everyone in this.
?The Bad
I don’t have much bad things to say about . As you can probably expect from this type of film and from the trailers, the movie is on the slower slide. However, I will say that it’s not too slow that it’s not enjoyable, and I was engaged throughout. It gets a little slow after about an hour and 20 minutes or so, but picks back up. It kind of reminded me of , another film starring Kim Hyang-Gi, but it wasn’t as slow as that. I personally liked this more than .
To conclude, does heavily have that indie, slow vibe. If you’re not a fan of that type, which I personally am not either, then you may not enjoy this. But as I mentioned before, it’s not too slow that it’s unbearable. Like I said, I’m not a fan of slow burners, but this I enjoyed.
**Verdict**
was a very real movie and I liked how it wasn’t forced. The ending was very powerful and emotional, and the second to last scene was really cute. Definitely something I recommend watching.
