Comments

Brian V Feb 02 2025 6:40 pm Very sad movie, but a definite must see.

Great cast. I can't believe I know all seven of the main characters from other shows. Jung Yu-Mi and Lee Eol from Live, Gong Yoo from Squid Game 1&2, Gong Min-Jung from Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha, Lee Bong-Ryun from Crash Course in Romance, Kim Sung-Cheol from Death's Game, and of course one of my favourite actresses, Kim Mi-Kyung, who's probably best known for Welcome to Samdal-ri.

Kim Mi-Kyung is such a powerful actress. She had me quite emotional from her performance. Jung Yu-Mi was very good as the lead. They really played down her looks, she's such a beautiful actress. She scared me every time she went near the balcony, not knowing how deep her depression had become.

I was also worried that she would forget she had a daughter when she went into an episode, and maybe just walk away without realizing. Jung Yu-Mi just pulls you into her state of mind. A very good actress.

Kristine Sep 02 2024 2:48 pm The only awful people were the grandmas. And they were raised in a different time dependent on their being a male relative for their survival in a time of want. Can’t really blame them. Work culture gosh awful but that is pretty equally awful no matter age, gender, family status.

Kristine Sep 02 2024 2:31 pm I didn’t love the book. Felt worse for Ji Young’s mom. BUT I enjoyed the movie. Her FIL had one line but it was a zinger. ‘Ah Young, would you like an uncle?” LOL Except for the MIL of Ji Young and her paternal grandma everyone else was supportive and helpful. The husband was awesome in the book and the movie. The cast was great. I’m so glad it’s on Amazon.

Bucin oppa May 24 2022 3:20 am @babinsa in my homeland, we're not allowed to let guest do such a thing like that. They said, Treat our guest like a king.

Jil Jan 24 2022 10:22 am I like everything in this movie. Such a masterpiece. Well written and lessons are clear!

That femenist, that old morher like thinking, that blaiming the victim, that struggle of a husband too, and finally, when she stood up against that bully in the coffee shop! Just too wonderful!

Two thumbs up! Super recommended!

babinsa Jan 10 2022 3:07 am not married yet, but as someone grow in asian household i can relate everything in this movie. once i was invited to my boyfriend's family christmas party, i dressed up nicely and end up being told to wash the dishes all day. it hurt me. i am a guest but they treat me like a maid...

Emmasshi Jan 05 2022 2:01 am Spoiler: Good thing that she came back on her career path at the end. Hopefully, in the near future when my child is also older, I can get back on my career path as well.

Emmasshi Jan 05 2022 1:55 am Honestly, I can relate to this movie, exvept for the mental illness and family relations. It's like I'm watching my daily life on it, as a full-time mom.

MaU Aug 14 2021 1:07 pm Recommended. I cried a bucket as I witnessed each struggle that my mom faced, dropped her job to raise both me n my sister. Being a first uni graduate in her family, but then must leave everything behind for her children and husband. Mom, you wouldnt read asian wiki, but I am sorry that you went thru all this, leave everything behind for me. I am sorry that my words of love and little help never enough to repay everything you have done for me. But, as long as I have you I will be strong and I will always try to cherish this life that you have given me. Thank you for making our home full of love. Thank you for giving me this life. Having a wise and full of love mom, make every difficult path seem easy because a strong mom give me support, love, bless and prayer. ?

Sara Jan 30 2021 7:29 pm This movie should be watched by everyone! Great plot, great performance especially by the lead actress, I’ve always loved her acting. She succeeded in portraying all her feelings and all the struggle she faced as a woman, a wife and a mother. I can see myself in her and I can understand her feelings too because I’m living the same situation but as the story it’s not that easy to make a decision.

m Nov 22 2020 1:28 pm 15 mins in and this movie made me ball my eyes out, thinking about my mom and my daughters and my ex-in-laws!! Such a true depiction of Korean female treatment, except the husband is too good.

momo Apr 03 2020 7:53 pm i hate the fact that all women can relate to this and are frustrated for her. none of us women should relate to this movie bc everything about this movie shows how low women are treated. the stigma about women should be fixed

Onoud Mar 19 2020 5:13 am Such a realistic movie. You get to feel the wife's desire to be a good mom and wife at the same time she tries to find a life herself. Gong Yoo on the other hand had the role of supportive husband and the way he tried to convince her to get help indirectly showed how much he loved her.

maria Jan 19 2020 2:10 pm Glad I get to watch this movie finally, I totally recommend you guys to watch this. This movie depicts the realistic everyday life of a woman and as a human living in this 20th century. It felt surreal that there are things I have yet to notice since I am still young couldn't even care less about these little things that matter to a person who can impact so much. Both the lead actor and actress really did an excellent job especially Jung Yung Mi. I can feel her pain throughout this entire movie. Glad Gong Yoo took this movie! The ego of a man can never be challenged sadly to those who rated this movie bad, you are one of them.

Kiki Dec 19 2019 4:27 am Movie is damn Heartbreaking???? I can Relate this movie with my mom and how she struggled To led her life... my father never supported my mother's dreams and her mental health worsened further I hope more men Become aware of women's dreams and what they want in their life more than A house wife/Someone'S wife sister or mother

duda Dec 15 2019 4:04 am a very beautiful and eye epening movie, and i feel like everyone should watch this the plot was unique and the performance of each actor is spot on this movie addresses a very sensitive but important issue in today's society and i actually find this movie to be helpful to educate people about the issue of patriarchy and mental illness Please watch this movie if you have time! or make time to watch it, it's so good.

daisy Dec 11 2019 4:34 am read the novel also watched the movie. this is the best movie ever. represent the life of a mother but before being a mother, she's also a woman of herself. i applaud jung yumi for this!

babytotoro Nov 12 2019 11:51 am I just watched this today and it is a truly memorable film. I highly recommend everyone to go watch it. The performance of all the actors in this film was amazing especially Jung Yumi and Kim Mi Kyung. It is an important film in this time and age and one that touches on societal issues and expectations placed on women. You may see yourself (if you’re a woman) in Kim Ji Young but if you don’t, try to understand the struggles that women in this society has to go through. And we hope that the world can be a better place for everyone.

Nadia Oct 25 2019 8:02 am Welcame backkk my love gong yu oppa???????

Muhammad Fahmi Bin Mohd Fazil Oct 01 2019 10:56 pm Oh. The baek beom director is here. I will watch this because of her.

Holly Sep 30 2019 10:58 pm Still waiting for them to work together in drama world :”))

Sakura Sep 29 2019 11:56 pm I haven't seen silenced so I don't know if there's a romance in there. But them being together in a movie for 3 times without any romance at all is useless and doesn't make sense with all your rants on them. 3 movies without any romantic story won't ever make my ship sail too so I'm not complaining until I get my romantic movie with them in it lol

Sakura Sep 29 2019 11:55 pm Lol at these people complaining. Being paired up is totally different from only starring at a movie "together". Excuse you guys but they aren't actually paired up on the movie Train to Busan. They just ended up as unrelated passengers surviving together, no romantic relationship going on or whatsoever though I must admit I am shipping them lol

Shairli Jun 18 2019 9:00 pm Again?! Time to change partner...

LooksGood May 27 2019 2:40 pm Three projects together now? Something is going on, come on, we weren't born yesterday. ;) I still prefer Gong Yoo with Gong Hyo Jin, however. They should make a drama or movie called The Two Gongs. It would be a giant hit. :)

Anna Mar 19 2019 2:03 am Aw Jung Yumi and Gong Yoo ? my ship is sailing already, hope they really are getting married after this

stan Nov 22 2018 11:24 am as much as i love yung yu mi.....

i dont mind these two become a couple IRL. lol.

apoi Oct 31 2018 12:21 pm their agentcy denied wedding rumors.. but never 'bout their dating.. right ???

Noni Oct 21 2018 7:48 am This is why there are constant rumors about these two dating...lol. I love her as a female lead so let's see how they do, together for the third time. I didn't quite like GYoo's last romantic film and I'm hoping this one will deliver a stronger character. Looking forward to it! Although I have no idea, yet, how I'll be able to watch it...lol :-).

Nasii Oct 18 2018 8:25 am Since its about fenimist, im in

Nera Oct 17 2018 11:18 pm Ohh,,still this women again to pair with gong yoo,,yes shes beauty but why she's again with gong yoo,,just try other actress,,i choose eun hye for this i think,,..just one more time to pair this two,,gongYoo and yoo eun hye...thanks

Suteki Oct 17 2018 2:20 pm Please let them finally have romance scenes! I've shipped Gong Yoo and Jung Yu Mi since Silenced! *crying from happiness*

DonDenyit Oct 17 2018 8:34 am Seriously ? Them. . both. .again.. should I prepare my heart for the future? Still excited for this

Lval87 Oct 17 2018 7:21 am I am excited for this movie love Gong Yoo, however I dont want people making rumors or to hear that he is dating Jung Yu Mi. People should only believe it unless Gong Yoo announces it. Just cause He started in a lot of movies with her does not always mean they will have a relationship. Look at Johnny Deep and Helena Bonham Carter they have worked together a lot and they never dated. So Gong Yoo Jung Yu Mi if they do date fine, but also they could be just good friends and acting colleagues. Remember just cause they work and do movies together does not always mean they will end up together. Gong Yoo has made it clear he likes his Bachelor life and if he does have a relationship he would let fans know enough being said looking foreword to the movie regardless

nurul23495 Oct 17 2018 1:21 am Gong Yoo n Jung Yu Mi AGAIN?!! Hmm... At this rate, i wouldnt be surprised they'll ended up in RL relationship

graceN Sep 15 2018 10:32 am WOW! The director is actress turned director???

Aghase Sep 14 2018 2:30 pm I'm looking forward for this.
