"Blood doesn't make you family, love does."

This is one of the many South Korean films that made me sob for a while. Maybe it's a grandmother-granddaughter story and watching it reminded me of my grandma whom I don't see very often.

One of the things I adore about this film is that it was set in the beautiful Jeju Island, a place that I'd like to visit someday. It also featured the haenyeo, Jeju Island's celebrated female divers. The plot twist is something that could shock the viewers, but it was beautifully delivered by the cast. Smooth yet heartwrenching.

It's a bittersweet tale and is the perfect expression of a quote I've read somewhere: "Blood doesn't make you family, love does."

Would I recommend this movie? Absolutely.
