I watch too many Korean Films that my expectations are always high every time I watch a new one, hence from the middle towards the 3rd part of the film I kept on thinking what was a little bit wrong in the film...bad editing? script? screenplay? then shoot....surprised by the fourth part/ending. DARN, it was another very good Korean film! So, I then realise it wasn't really that there's something wrong in this film while I was watching it, it's just there's something, some element 'missing' and the ending really solved it. WONDERFUL FILM! Go see it!

this nonsensical film bedazzled me with its seemingly random humor first hour-and-half. then, it completely threw me off by making me cry 10 minutes straight at the end when i realized what was going on. those who like light comedy seem to enjoy the first part of the film. although i didn't, i'm glad i beared through it till the end. it was really worth it.

I bought the dvd coz I saw Cha Tae Hyun there. This movie is beyond expectation. I knew it's a comedy but I was completely blank about the ending which is so touching.
Thank God I found this movie. You can laugh, serious, and cry at the same time....!!

A splendid movie. I don't really like the ideas of Hollywood remaking Asian movies, though it does benefit them from the change of pace of the usual same old Hollywood movies lately. This movie was brilliant. It delivers you with laughs, but also tears once everything is pieced together. Cha Tae Hyun did not fail his reputation as a comedian actor in this one, though, if I may say, he even outdid his role. Definitely enjoyed it and would recommend this to those who seeks for a family movie!
