lilian Dec 27 2020 8:59 am yall this movie really good in every aspect. actually deserve an award

Dee Jun 21 2019 12:04 am I admittedly found this movie because of Choi Min-ho but within the first several minutes of the film, I was already in love with it. The connection that grows between Hye-ji and her grandmother is beautiful, the cinematography is breathtaking, and the final half hour had me crying. Some of the characters could have been developed a bit more but the actors are able to portray so much during their scenes.

To those who may not watch it just because Min-ho has such short screen time, it's still well worth the watch.

Kulla May 25 2019 3:32 pm I hiiiighly recommend this movie .. its amaaazing ♡♡♡♡♡ i cried my eyes out T^T

Claudia Feb 16 2019 6:27 pm This is such a beautiful movie. I cried my eyes out but it was worth it!

Rosie Sep 20 2018 8:49 pm Why my eyes are raining? What a performance! Thank you Ms.Youn Yuh-Jung! You are a great artist! I admire you and your skills! You portray each role with excellence! Thank you cast, director, producers and crew for such a great movie!

Daffodils Apr 18 2017 2:50 pm I was browsing for something to watch on my day off and come accross this movie without knowing anything,the story nor the actresses and actors.The first scene was boring but I continue to watched and later i was hooked angry and cried. It was simple story nothing fancy yet very heartwarming and moving movie..not so typical love story so don't expect any romance cause there's none, only a love between a grandmother and granddaughter.I can certainly recommend this movie for those who wants to watch this..

Hana Feb 23 2017 5:49 am I was crying into my pillow when I watched this. Such a heart wrenching film that is beautifully executed. The ending scene had be balling my eyes out.

ちえ Feb 20 2017 9:19 am So special, so relatable (': more so if you were also raised by grandparents.

Regardless, you'll find something for yourself in this family drama.

sady Jan 31 2017 9:18 pm Hahahaaaaa sorryy. but this movie as his debut, minho first debut as an actor right... dont expecting too much girls. just enjoy and appreciate the movie :)) *p.s: im not fans of both kim go eun and minho* he he he

Shoutout to "Tot" Dec 23 2016 3:50 am you got bored because you didn't get want you wanted.

Ana Dec 08 2016 2:06 am very good movie, u can get the meaning and still understand what happen althought there's not much dialogue used, all the actress/actor are amazing, its very touching, and how they (youn yuh-jung and kim go-eun) build their chemistry is excellent.

Tot Oct 29 2016 2:06 am if you desire to watch this movie because you love Minho, don't bother.he has about 4 minutes of total screen time, most of it is just him holding a bike or sitting on a bike and he has very short phrases for dialogue. i was really upset b/c they were promoting this movie like he was really in it and maybe he had a bigger part but they cut it. the movie it self is very, very boring and it's not really good b/c none of the characters were developed. if you want to see minho's 4 minutes just search it up on youtube

K. Jul 25 2016 5:40 am I'm bitter they didn't show this in cinemas in Sydney. It looks so good. :(

chusna Jul 23 2016 7:24 pm I've watched this movie without subtitle. I just tried to understand the storyline. And I think it's very touching. I am still waiting the subtitle of this movie because I want to understand more about the story... I love you, Kim Go Eun..fighting :-)
