Cynics beware! This movie might touch even your hearts and make you feel uneasy. So, what it did to a rather naïve wannabe world saver like me? I don't know where to start - I guess I'm still in some kind of emotional shock. I liked this movie. A lot. But I won't watch it again anytime soon because I cried a bucketful of tears while watching it. What's even worse than that is the fact that this movie made me feel ashamed and it made me think. This is not your light piece of mindless entertainment. Still I think everyone should watch it once. It does you good.

There aren't too many movies like this. It has a good message that should come across to everyone. Maybe the world would really be a better place then. This movie's message isn't that everyone should be real-life Superman or next Mother Teresa. However, it does remind us that the little things and decisions we make ARE important. If some little thing you do makes at least one person happier, isn't it good enough? Everyone does have that little piece of kryptonite in their brains that makes us blind and indifferent towards other people. "We can't save everyone so why should we even try?" That is a thought that so easily creeps into our heads when we are overwhelmed by all the bad things happening in this world. This movie challenges that thought and I'm happy it does so.

I give best scores to this movie and I think it deserves good ratings even if it's viewed from a more objective standpoint. However, I'll let that to someone else. As for the rewatch value: I think everyone should watch this movie at least once a year since we forget the things we learn so easily. Oh, and I'm also an official fan of Hwang Jeong Min now. Such great acting.

After watching this movie, I'll wake up tomorrow with many good intentions. I know they won't last long but if I tomorrow pick up one trash from the ground or try to make someone else happy then I think this movie has made the world already a better place. Thank you, Superman!
