asianwikireader21 Jun 12 2021 10:12 am I much more prefer the original French version, especially because it shows that French culture is a tiny bit more inclusive than Korean society. The true story that inspired the first movie is of a north african guy from Algeria looking after a white french businessman. The French fiction stars the great actor Omar Sy for the role of the caregiver. Here, they're just all koreans. Sure, it must be a good movie as well, but that missing detail is kind of unforgivable to my view.
