viesky_ Mar 04 2022 9:20 am Watched this movie because of Cho Seungwoo. Still cant get over him and found this. It's really outofmy expectation. As i know from Cho's choice his projects, he always goes with an unique story. You may bored but can't skip and reject it. You'll go and finish it then know the point of its story. One that makes me disappointed because Cho seungwoo had less screen time in here kekeke.

desyola Mar 14 2021 5:53 am This movie is so beautiful. I was crying so hard. And now, I am grateful that I was born perfect. I learned to respect the imperfections of others and myself. :') Thank you ♡

Sakura Jul 27 2019 3:12 pm This is the worst movie I ever watched, however I quit at around minute 28...so I can't say for sure...it is mistake ridden for instance...conjoined twins are always identical, i.e. the characters should have been played by identical twins or the same person...of course anything is possible, uhm no not really but for the sake of the movie let's say it is so... I still felt uneasy with the bad camera angles I felt like the "forgotten" twin was in the families mind and not really talking.

rainy Mar 20 2016 8:54 am Omg this movie is so beautiful

Naj Oct 27 2015 10:55 am I really recommend this film to anyone really. A lot of symbolism and great lessons which could be learned from this film. It left a deep impression on me and for a while, I could eat peaches without thinking of this hahaha

Not exactly an 'easy-watch' and definitely not a RomCom (I was misinformed about the genre, which is how I ended up watching it)

This film should be approached with an open-mind and optimism - or you will be left with weird feelings at the end. Don't really know how to describe what I felt at the end, my first impression was: "This film is weird AF". I only started to appreciate it a while after I finished watching, but now I want to watch it again.

        learn how to write a review.

EVERYONE ELSE-

      dont read past this post if you havent seen the movie yet.

Kat Nov 10 2014 3:01 am I had never been interested in Ku Hye Sun's films but when I saw Jo Seung Woo's name I decided to give it a go. At first I was disappointed to see that he had less screen time than the other twin but as it progressed I realized why. He was casted well because it is only him who can bring to life those expressions perfectly. The plot is unique but I think there is room for improvement in the direction eg. when the twins were in the fields the camera zoomed in too high over JSW's character face thus making the trees shorter. Also a close up of the dead twin's face in the morgue would have given a better closure.

Eskimo Oct 03 2014 9:12 am A modern fairytale. I watched it without much expectation but I surprise that Ku Hye Sun really soar up high as a director as well. Not only she directed it, but also wrote and composed the music. Every details were so thoughtfully planned out and I can't help but be amazed. She never cease to impress me..

Tina Jul 08 2013 3:02 pm oh.. I want so much to see this film.. but did not come to theaters, and cannot find it online with eng sub.

july Jan 20 2013 11:52 am i want the a fairy tale story and this movie inspired me to continue my own books.... woo and hwan got the perfect facial expression its seems real two faces...

july Jan 20 2013 11:38 am i want to watch this, it seems full hearted story and i think everybody well be touched and couse of, i think the producer of this movie some parts of it happen to or she felt the same way....ah! the director....ist koo hye sun....love her!

Annabeth Kilmann Nov 23 2012 11:00 pm I'll admit that the beginning was boring, but you should have watched until the end. It was so moving; my mom and I were crying so hard. The final scene was one of best that I've ever watched..

Dianna K Nov 13 2012 10:25 pm This movie sucks!!! Who did this? I could only watch a little bit of it and I stopped.
