I like comparing this film to Failan. Both were emotionally heart-ripping. I honestly cried while watching the film. The father's belief of self-sacrifice for a daughter who betrayed him many times shows family love.

Chang Won, the gangster, was such an evil man. He showed the cruelty of someone who does not understand the meaning of love. Although I was hoping for a satisfying punishment on this evil character, the film oddly did not show this. Rather, it portrayed something better than violence. The father's death represented something very similar to Jesus's crucifixion. The girl immediately changes in attitude and characteristic as a whole. She becomes purified and also a new human being. Instead of doing the dirty work of gangsters, she cares for her brother. This movie was just hands down a masterpiece.
