Such a frustrating disappointment
Absolutely the worst movie.
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
It is indeed a shame this masterpiece was shelved for three years before getting a release at the Montreal IFF in 2003. It also received a limited showing in its native Korea just last year. Now, thanks to its DVD recent DVD release many more people can enjoy this heartwarming tale of growing up.Excellent performance by both of its leads, Yo-Seob Lee and Ye-rin Han. You will truly feel sympathetic and fall in love with the cute handicapped girl Okgi and if you have grown up with siblings will know what Nanna feels and how his character grows up and accepts the challenge he is faced with.I recommend that everyone go out and see this, it is indeed better than its compatriot film "The Way Home" and a whole lot better than a lot of trash out there these days.
