vitz Jul 08 2022 10:38 pm imma be honest. Korean Movies has terrible pacing as if it was a melodrama.

Kim Yoo Jung stole all the scenes. Let's say I didn't know her before, I will still definitely fall in love with her.

Her quote about reincarnation, hits the deep feeling.

I didn't know why Sun Dong Il acted liked that in the end, but it's a bittersweet ending.

LovelyLove Jan 31 2022 4:35 am The movie's story has so much depth into it, the mystery theme of the drama was so well presented. All the actors act so well, especially the three main actors. Actress Kim Yoojung, you act so well and portrayed the role perfectly. At first, I wonder what the story behind her pointing a gun to her sleeping father is, and as the story goes I finally understand. The last scene with the three main actors' encounter makes me cry. And also the child actor who played the little Kim Yoojung did so well, she looked like a mini version of Yoojung.
