Going to give this a try since no one has posted one yet... I have to say the beginning is breathtaking and tearful — if you're really focused in the whole film, inside the whole situation (and in the mood, of course), in no time you'll have tears forming in your eyes. At least that's what happened to me. The story itself is interesting and it's really well portrayed by its actors and scenarios. I'm not really familiar with the characters' situation, but I believe it must be very stressing and desperating. The only thing I didn't like in the whole movie was Ji Gu's mother. Her personality is very annoying and that kind of affected me... Anyway, give this movie a try!
