Monette Cabib Aug 21 2021 9:21 am I have been a fan of cha seung won since korean odessy. I am always happy watching series or movies of him. Um chae young is such a smart and has this likable aura. So talented little girl. You made me cry a lot.

It got me smiling and smiling then i found myself laughing! Can't stop it! Then tears suddenly drip down my cheeks. Now i am still crying.

I love it. Thank you for this very beautiful story.

drinkme Dec 07 2019 2:46 am such a good heartwarming movie :)))) will make u laugh n cry. recommended !!

MinByeol Nov 03 2019 3:09 am This movie is an inspiring and heartwarming movie about a slow father who bonds with his sick daughter. I won’t say much as it is 100% worth the watch. It’s inspiring, lovely, and beautiful as a movie and it inspires me to be a donor because it can change a life. It really draws you in the moment you see the dynamics between Mr Lee and Saet Byeol. At the moment, there are no English subtitles for this movie but worth a watch once it is subbed, (but if you are learning Korean or really can’t wait for subs like me its worth it ❤️).

Bil Oct 25 2019 7:52 am Ayee Mr lee~ ?? This movie really makes me laugh to cry to laugh again then cry again and smile. Recommend for those who want to see the different roles of Mr Cha. Daebak!

Delly Oct 02 2019 9:51 pm This looks so good. Definitely gonna watch. It's going to be a masterpiece. Especially when Cha seung won bring this character, it's gonna be good.

popcorn and coke Aug 03 2019 10:28 am I just know this is gonna be as sad as fcked.

caca Jul 17 2019 3:40 am cha seung won was being the fake mr lee and died in movie 'believer' 2018, but now he becomes the real mr lee in this movie? haha
