Heart breaking

[Misss25 · 7/10 · 5 May 2021]

I'm surprised at the end to learn about that how many cases remain being unsolved and people just ignore it. It was my 2nd movie about child abuse and first was ''Go back''. But, I still can't believe those movies are based on true events. I am so emotionally touched and feel poor these kids who suffered or have been suffering. I don't know abusing child in Korea ever going to stop.

However,talking about the movie, movie is amazing. Specially, the girl and the step mother did a wonderful job. All the time, while watching this movie, I felt like, I can feel the girl's pain. Though I hate the step mother for her wrong doings but couldn't resist myself from praising her, realllyy!! Outstanding acting.

The thin line between child discipline and child abuse

[soeprijo19 · 8/10 · 14 December 2021]

You would really need to rethink about parenting after seeing this movie. What is child abuse? What is child discipline? What's the difference between those two? When is someone said to have crossed the line?

A girl and his little brother boy have to face something very dark in their early years of life. And nobody comes to their rescue because they're too afraid to cross the family affairs boundaries. This is what actually happened in our society right now. And this movie peel it off mercilessly.

Definitely 8/10.

Crying, sadness and sorry to the situation of the children who are forced to deal with his example of de-sanimagonic creatures, I feel the fullest of distress and distress for being adult and I cannot protect them. I wish from all my heart that there is a guardful owner for every child who is forced to live with

Emotionally struck me

The movie is beautifully told, and kept its promise "To be based on true events". the story never loses the point where there are insane bad people; there is also hope for goodness adding little bit of life, it will make you cry every bit of it, but also gives you simple bit of hope for life;

Great

Emotional and meaningful

[jindann · 8/10 · 13 August 2021]

Decent movie based on true events of child abuse. Though the story is kind of slow paced and predictable, the moral is deep and thought provoking. Fine performance by Seon yu and the rest of the acting is decent, while the script and directing can be improved.

Child abuse is common in Asian countries where it was culturally more accepted, especially in the old days people believes beating up children is for their good, which is of course unacceptable in today's standard, that can lead to depression or life long trauma on an individual.

I just started watching Korean crime and other true story movies a while ago, and I haven't watched many, but this one is pretty good. I think that most, if not all protagonists/characters in this movie are quite likable, except for the abusive parents, of course. The actor who played the lawyer is very talented. He is caring to the children, while also being able to focus on his job and promotions. Both kids acted very well for being very young, and the movie is realistic.
