TMR Apr 22 2016 7:26 pm I think this movie was great...very emotional. A little note to Lpa....Sieun didn't want to race her horse Thunder in the end. She wanted her horse to get the surgery, but Thunder didn't want the surgery (that's why he ran away).....animals are weird, they can sense these things. Because of their closeness, they understood eachother and decided to do the race. She understood he didn't want the surgery, and he understood how much this race meant to her.....to me, it's loyalty and understanding between owner and pet. I guess you can call me an animal lover to understand these emotions!

Lpa Apr 17 2016 4:16 pm I was really hoping this would be a great drama, but unfortunately it didn't work for me. The storyline was kind of good but there was never the emotional connection that I was looking for. You knew what it was supposed to be but it just wasn't there. SPOILER:

In the beginning she wouldn't ride a horse that was sick or hurt, and she wouldn't win the race to hurt another rider, but in the end she does ride a sick horse so it really doesn't make any sense to me--the horse wanted it? and the ending was just sad, not satisfying.  I'm sorry to say I would not watch this again.

GT Apr 01 2015 7:15 am Great show. Worth watching. Something similar but in English language is secretariat. These horses are really inspiring with their determination to win for the people they love.

Chris Nov 10 2014 12:50 am Just watched this and was bawling; completely gutted. (I don't make a habit of crying during movies.) Beautiful film though hard to watch some scenes. I've been a fan of Im Soo-jeong for years and was not disappointed in her choice of project this time around either. The horse actors were great too.

I'm sure I've seen better films but having JUST recovered my composure, I'd give it a 9.7 of 10 and an age rating of PG-15.

mega indah Sep 22 2013 7:19 pm Just watching this movie last night. Im not an easy cry person by movie. Then after the movie was endes, I was crying until the credits title was over. Esp. At the time there was a slide show of the interaction between pet-owner. Good entertaining and humanist movie.

RazorbladeKiss May 06 2009 3:01 pm oh finally. it works. now its different. ok. then i give 100%!!! this movie is amazing.

RazorbladeKiss Apr 25 2009 6:39 pm i dont know why theres no vote option in here but whatever. i give this movie a solid 10.
