Monette Sep 23 2022 9:07 am I have watched this for 4x.

I really love the acting of the 3 kids specially Lee Ji won.

I wish to watch them again. I hope they have a new movie or series together.

Ace Aug 06 2016 1:28 am I must first say that as a general rule, I'm not a huge fan of these type movies. I see the "Family" genre tag and think "meh." But this is a most impressive exception to that rule. It really did make me smile. Not to say there isn't pathos and suffering. But it was the lighter moments that really made this movie for me. Kid actors are often a crap shoot. Especially when you have more than one. But these kids were pretty good. When they do the next Ocean's 11, they should recruit them. Because they really know how to pull off a heist. Anyway, great movie for any age.

Angel Zhou Jul 01 2016 9:56 am I keep saying 'cuuuuuuute' throughout the whole film, either while laughing or crying :"3

The story taught me that if it comes to personality, elders and kids are much much better than any kind of adults. :")

Well you might be disappointed if you're here for hongki (SPOILER) as he got not much screen time and his character is not pleasing >_<v
