OOO168 Jan 12 2018 6:41 am Did anyone manage to read between the lines about what exactly Lee Hwan understood about how it was always he who went onto Madame Cha, and never the other way round, therefore, even when he was in a stable situation, he did not try to get with her? What was that all about? That he understood she never reciprocated his feelings?

Emmaina27 Sep 16 2015 12:01 am Honestly while watching it during the nudity scene i had to pause it more then 3 times to check whether or not this movie was really from south korean and if by any chance it wasnt a movie from the future that came out a bit too early. i was so surprised. it was my first time seeing nudity in a korean movie. wow. great movie tho. but the end is kind sad and amazing at the same time

may Sep 12 2015 10:37 am Beautiful movie. Lots of respect to director.
