Tzveeble May 18 2022 10:24 am It's easy to view those Korean comedies simply as light entertainment, but that is never the case. To take this drama for instance, there are so many underlying profound pieces of wisdom embedded in all the details of the story, like the insemination of youthful energetic but inexperienced minds with the qualities of maturity. The philosophical depths of K-dramas is inspiring and stunning in many aspects.

m May 16 2022 2:50 pm It was marginal. The way it opened with her being SO MEAN to her daughter in law but SUPER NICE and thoughtful only to her son and grandson is really annoying and never addressed. Why people think its ok to be MEAN to daughter in law but expect their own family to be treated kindly, I can never understand.

Onoud Nov 19 2021 1:25 pm Highly recommended!!! I was looking for a romantic movie but ended up watching this movie and I enjoyed every minute. I also cried when her son told her to go away and live her life but she said even if she had another chance she would still have him. I have always wanted to meet my parents in their youth to get to know their true personalities but it’s impossible lol

Kitty Jul 26 2020 6:08 am This movie was hilarious. It’s a film that doesn’t take itself too seriously and is easy and light to watch. I absolutely loved the scene where doo-ri was talking about her breast milk to the woman on the subway! That was comedy gold.

Hana Apr 26 2020 1:20 am Somehow i cried in some parts! What we have been through past years is warm my heart through this movie.

Alexey Apr 17 2020 9:51 pm I've watched couple of Korean movies that was pretty boring, but this one just amazed me! Story was so touching, characters are great, plot is interesting. Hillarious humour! Ending was pretty sad, although with Mr. Park getting young (didn't expect Kim Soo-Hyun there :D) gave me hope that their amazing adventures aren't over. Just amazing movie... Deserves all the good!!!!

b Apr 06 2019 2:08 am Miss Granny is amazing but I have a couple of general questions.

Is it normal to address someone as their kid's names mother, for example: hi Ji-Ha's mom. Even adults addressing each other get translated this way even when the kids aren't around.

Is it normal to explain to someone that you've been too nice to them while you attack them? I first noticed this when Miss Granny was telling Ji-Ha about the good air conditioning, but I have since noticed it in a bunch of other movies. (It also seems common to ask someone if they want to die if you want to hit them but you are not going to)

Is it normal in Korea for people to talk to themselves? I notice this when people are alone or when they want to criticize someone that they are with but they can simply say that they are talking to themselves if they get called out. Every character in every show talks to themselves at least once.

Mindy Sep 25 2018 12:30 am What an absolutely beautiful movie.

This is a perfect family movie, with very light hearted humor but an underlying story that really makes one think. I absolutely loved the characters and found the plot unbelievably hilarious, especially that very last part;)

To avoid spoiling, definitely worth watching. It's a unique family movie that I (17) and my parents (55) all enjoyed. You won't regret this watching this masterpiece.

Tope Sep 13 2018 4:04 am A funny movie but it hurts to know facts about old people

Cris Jul 27 2018 10:31 am This movie is really amazing. Looking forward to Filipino version.

H May 11 2018 11:36 am Such an entertaining movie! I thought I could save myself some tears but nope lol. Shim Eun Kyung did an amazing job portraying an old woman ????

Andi supriatna Jan 28 2018 11:34 pm One word for this movie "AMAZING". In the beginning so sad.in the middle there's a lot of laugh.and the end of this movie wow it's made me cry when she talked with her son.but it's really happy ending.while mr park turned kim soo hyun.??.and from this movie i know you shim eun kyung.and i love all about you.i'm your big fan....go shim eun kyung ❤❤❤

Guiltypleasure Nov 08 2017 11:39 am Recommended so much. Especially lead actress. I laughing so hard and crying inside heart. When she was singing, goosebumps is all over my body. So beautiful. Ending also great . Thumbs up

Anti Jul 28 2017 10:31 am Damn.. Kim Soo Hyun as cameo at the end was soooooo handsome Hahahaaa.. But Lee Jin Wo so hot here.. i'm his new fan.. wkwkwkwk

Bill Jul 07 2017 4:57 am I was so surprised when i saw that grandpa changed as Kim Soo Hyun LOL

DiJay Jun 14 2017 10:04 pm Loved this movie.. Funny and heartwarming. Just saw that our country, Philippines, will have an adaptation of this soon. Shim Eun Kyung deserves all the Best Actress award she got from this movie. This movie is 100% recommended.

al_sky Apr 07 2017 10:36 am great story and great actors no wonder there are so many remake version

Grace Mar 28 2017 9:37 am such a funny but warm film... really really a very great movie. I am crying when I watched it.... Granny is such a strong woman! :)

noyoung Mar 22 2017 4:07 am this movie is extremely popular.. already adapted to chinese, vietnamese, japanese, thai, and Indonesian version.. wow

Epaul Aug 27 2016 10:21 pm Truly a fantastic film. Great story and wonderful casting. Shim Eun-kyung does an amazing job as Oh Doo-ri. This is one you must watch.

SH QA Aug 27 2016 9:01 pm I loved this movie. The actors, playing Granny and her younger self, were very good. Cry level was an 8, when Granny's grandson was injured in a vehicular accident, and was in the hospital. But this movie has a happy ending, and the handsome Kim Soo-Hyun made a cameo at the very end, that made me laugh loudly.

sheila Jun 22 2016 3:49 am One of the most amazing movies i've ever seen. I laughed so hard, cried so hard, this movie is a gem!

Jaymie May 29 2016 8:49 pm My all-time favorite.... I watch it over and over. I especially like the soundtrack and wish I knew where I could buy it.

fay Mar 09 2016 2:56 pm i only got to know about the original one after watching the chinese version!

Sarah Jan 11 2016 10:39 pm I just watch this movie yesterday because the feedback are so positive here....and I understand why after watching it..this drama is soo funny and sad too..Thank you..I laugh so much..and some scene make me cry too..and the main lead actresses is truly amazing & talented..it not easy to act like a old women..Wow she just nailed it.

Yer Peña Nov 29 2015 4:49 am I absolutely loved everything about this movie. The idea, the music, the actors and everything came together, what a great ensemble! I will watch it numerous times! Thank you so much for producing such a memorable movie.

Bluefin Nov 18 2015 5:12 am after a while i finally see another memorable good k-movie.. I didnt watch it from the start but it hooked me because the movie is so funny, shim eun kyung's act is really believable (i thought she's park bo young at first, with her big adorable eyes and cute lips), ahem, anyway, the songs are great, the (almost) ending where her grandkid rushed to the concert up to donating blood is so cliche but the dialog among she and her son is so sad.. I thought they gonna end it right there but a bit surprise on the end with cameo of the guy who rides the motor lol..

So, it's a enjoyable movie with some of catchy songs.. Shim eun kyung deserves an award for her role, curious about her other movies..

LP Sep 22 2015 6:11 pm Loved this film. This is a true "Asian Pearl" that applies across many cultures. It's definitely a must watch! Wonderful talented cast. Entertaining and meaningful. Fascinating plot to keep you interested and guessing along the way. Best imaginative ending ever! What more can I say? It's now on my Favorites list. I will recommend and re-watch this film for years to come. Thank you to everyone involved for your inspiration, creativity and many talents--Great work!

Shortfus Sep 02 2015 9:24 am What a great surprise! Really didn't expect anything from this movie (couldn't find anything to watch on Netflix to fall asleep with - I didn't fall a sleep watching this) but what a touching and funny movie. It made me cry AND laugh! Rare thing in these days. The Grandma made me cry; the actress who played the part has always been a great at any part she has played in last 30-40 years, so that was no surprise but still the look on her face when she was looking at Seung Woo (PD) from far after she returns to her old age was pure gold. It made me want to go back to my younger days. But the young actress who played the Granny as young lady really shines. She is very different from most Korean actresses who are all similar in looks and behavior. She is not afraid of looking silly and not always made up. She made me laugh but also cry, specially when she was talking to her son who told her to go and live her life without sacrificing herself for her son.

Great find - very nice. Check it out especially if you are at an age where the end is closer than the beginning.

Mary Aug 18 2015 10:19 pm Thoroughly enjoyed this film - I laughed so hard! Shim Eun Kung is a superior actress! Did she actually do the singing in this film, and if so, where could I get a CD? Thanks much!

SoAwake Jun 19 2015 2:05 am Really well done movie. Go. Go watch it. Go now. Before today becomes tomorrow.

Jojo May 10 2015 8:13 am A great movie！really enjoyed it! Thanks。

restyhyuni Dec 27 2014 8:54 am I like the story ^-^ And when the final scene i was laugh so hardddddd LOL Gosh you should watch this wakkakakkaka

walkers38 Sep 07 2014 5:12 pm Most people laughed while watching this film, but I cried buckets. I just finished watching the film and am still crying. I feel so sad and weird. Especially when the song Oh Doo Ri sang at the cafe repeats again at the end... my emotions bursted out. Am I only one feeling melancholy after watching this film? I loved this film. I wanted to see how Shim Eun Kyung acts because I know she will be in Cantabille Tomorrow. I must say I am very very very impressed. Can't wait to watch the drama now!!!

siri Jul 26 2014 5:20 am what a fun movie really enjoyed it :D

toodark Jul 22 2014 1:43 pm It's the best korean movie I've ever watched. Shim Eun Kyung is so amazing!! + I fell in love with Lee Jin Wook again and again.

mei Jul 14 2014 9:58 am I loveeeeeee this movie! 10/10! Shim eum kyung is very grande. She is so beautiful with somany facial expression. All the others cast is also superb. The ending is brilliant hahaha....i laugh so hard for the ending (aish....thank you god it is not a sad one). Oh i should write something for jinwook oppa, "oppa, you have a good job and also good lookong so why have you not married yet?" Kkkk... 진욱 오빠 너무 반짝반짝이다 ♥

emodp Jul 12 2014 8:26 pm You gotta love the ending! this has the best ending ever!!

Excalibunny Jul 12 2014 12:46 am As I was watching this, I felt that the plot is rather similar to 2006's "200 Pounds Beauty". One tackle on our superficial society and another is about the aging population. Both movies are hilarious and fun to watch, but at the same time delivers an important message to the audience. Love it! :)

leyley Jun 24 2014 9:45 am Finally, I was able to watch this! It was such a beautiful film. Shim-Eun Kyung is such a great actress. She made me laugh and cry. I might just start shipping Shim-ssi and Lee Jin-Wook :(((

fubukito Jun 08 2014 4:40 am i love the casts love Eun Kyung and Lee jin Wook

daebak9 Jun 02 2014 10:15 pm I saw this at the CGV theater in LA (only Korean movie theater in California i think) by chance when my friend and I were walking around Koreatown. It was great seeing a Korean movie in a movie theater instead of just my computer screen. I t made me laugh and it made me cry and squeal(along with 1/2 the moviegoers) when Kim Soo Hyun showed up on screen. If anyone lives in Southern California you should definitely visit CGV theater.

Titi Adha May 19 2014 5:58 am Jin-Young, Jin-Young, Jin-Young <3

Micc May 15 2014 7:14 pm Hahaha! This is the funniest movie ever! The casts of course were excellent! And the cameo at the end...Wow! I fully enjoyed it! You have to watch this if you haven't yet, seriously!!!

Ziffy Mar 24 2014 10:03 pm Ohh Doori Hepburn :) Bursting into laughing

Miss S Mar 09 2014 3:44 am I just came back from watching the movie, and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT. I laughed most of the time, but there were some poignant, touching scenes as well. There were themes of family, old age, and modern culture running through the film, but it was hilarious. The main female cast was brilliant - Na Moon Hee as the foul-mouthed grandma and Shim Eun Kyung as her 20 year-old self. SO GOOD. You will laugh, and you might cry too.

P.S. Shim Eun Kyung has an excellent singing voice!

2fat Feb 26 2014 12:07 am looking forward...love Eun Kyung so much

Chris Lee Feb 08 2014 9:13 pm Na Moon Hee is my favourite female actress. I hope the movie features her a lot instead of the younger version of herself.

Tori Jan 28 2014 11:46 pm @HoboBroccoli OMG I was just thinking it reminded me of '17 Again'. Especially the part where it looks like the grandson will fall for her. LMAO Try to show just a tiny bit of care for a guy and he thinks it's love. hahaha

Definitely a MUST see. (~ ~)

Emma Jan 25 2014 10:18 pm Ooooooooooooohhhhhhh!!! This is a must-watch movie for me this year!!! Lee Jin Wook, Shim Eun Kyung and totally hilarious stories... Lee Jin Wook!!!!!!!!!! Wanna see you on the big screen soon!!!

Linda Jan 24 2014 11:42 pm Gotta watch drama when it's released in my country. Grandmaaaaa.. Egh hyo hyo hyo hyo hyo.... And Lee Jin Wook <33333
