Jean Sep 25 2022 11:02 am ,Discovered the movie prior to Squid Game or other dramas with the actor. Excellent. I wish it followed the couple further on.

AsianFan Apr 02 2022 5:04 pm Very stirring, poetic film about life's unexpected happenings. This is the first time I've seen a Kdrama that handles intimacy in a mature, realistic manner. I was beginning to think that no one in South Korea ever did anything but hug and suffer through long, drawn out, unrequited, unfulfilled relationships. This film drew me in immediately. Kept a steady pace, didn't waste any scenes (I wish there were more detail!) & didn't skimp on plot development. There are so many subltities that watching it twice brings depth to the story. It is beautiful and I'm glad for an ending that doesn't mean punishment for those who fall in love. Watched on Amazon Prime. The lead is So Handsome it's unreal.

Ms. Gee Dec 11 2021 12:04 am I don't usually like movies where a spouse is two-timing, but this poor wife rearranged rocks for a hobby! When she hooked up with U-si, the way he looked at her, the way he kissed her, the way he.. well, you know.. I was cheering her on! Their love scenes were beautifully done.. she tried so hard to stay away from him, but it was just toooo good to her! And me too.. Wow!

Jutta M Bolz May 17 2021 12:57 am Watched this film now for the second time,totally beautiful and tastefully done. beautiful.gifted actress and actor( 20 years ago,) yes age is only a number loved that film!

Ella Barry Jan 11 2021 8:57 pm I would buy this movie in a minute if I could find it for sale with English Subtitles. Very sensual. I think Min-Sook Lee is one of the most beautiful Korean actresses of any age.

Santel Jun 05 2014 4:16 am This is a great movie. I like it a lot. It is hard to find such a good movie these days.

It is good if Amazon could add this movie to their store.
