cix Dec 20 2022 12:15 pm very good movie to watch! storyline & casts also amazing~ especially the ending it turned to be heartwarming..

hihihello May 21 2022 11:15 am Just realized that Kim Hye Soo and Lee Jung Eun are together again in 2022 (Juvenile Justice).

Finished the movie today and it was great. Hope this movie will give hope for those who are struggling with life. God bless us all.

Cecily K. Apr 15 2021 9:36 pm Another case of great performance for a wasted potential-script. I feel like they could've explored either the detective's or the missing girl's issue (even the island people) just a little bit more. At least the ending didn't turn out as gloomy as the whole movie

Fara_Nam Apr 08 2021 8:51 am The ending was so... wow :')) i felt pain on it.

aya_willhazen Apr 05 2021 4:54 am I wacthed it and really speechless about the ending. I didn't expect the ending became like that. The ending gives mixed feeling about life. I really appreaciated Kim Hye Soo and Lee Jung Eun, they are really top notch actress. Their emotions in the characters really nicely delivered.
