wntrina Dec 04 2021 2:02 am Both of the actress delivered the characters emotions splendidly well. They were 15 in this film too, so talented! I do not regret coming here for hyang-gi and saeron. I felt like crying watching this since it is based on reality, so many women and children suffered back then. Till this day, Japan denied of any of the statements 'comfort women' ever happened and that's what disgust me.

Laura Nov 02 2021 7:26 pm Wow both actresses were just 15 & pulled such a role

Kimsaeron Nov 14 2020 11:44 am Saeron is the best excellent and pretty professional i love her frm Barbie, and The man from nowhere manhole and etc.. hope to see her again with movie..

Kiya Jul 20 2019 5:00 am I accidently watch this movie and then I Can Speak (Lee Je Hoon) and then I feel in awe because surprisingly it looks like some kind of spin-off or sequel. Both are good, this movie made me in tears while I Can Speak getting you into both laugh and tears.

Farah Mar 29 2018 11:41 am Omg this is the best movie ever ! This movie is so sad... its always making me drop a tears... many tears! AKA (Crying) <3

Julya Mar 08 2018 11:39 am You should watch I Can Speak after watching Snowy Road. You will understand why :)

Rhyss ikram, dr Feb 14 2018 9:17 pm You can’t help but feel that some movies are too pronouced in its sadness that it may give you some really heart wrenching moments.... i don’t understand how a country & a nation can be so oppressing to the point of being wretchedly aweful & lustful. The victims of war are always the kids & the women...humanity then lunge to its lowest in those times. Truly sad & depressing is the state of humanity. i have so far watched up to 15min but i could already feel the possible moments of sombreity & deep sadness.... i don’t think i have the heart to go on watching though the young actress-young gi & sae ron are exceptionally good. Anyway tq to the producers & directors for such movies that tried to tell us stories & realities of such trying times. Tq

bomi Dec 26 2017 6:00 pm This movie is good, but horrifying. the two (my guess) 12-13 years old being used as sex slaves is horrifying to watch.

Saeron does her role very well as always.
