This movie is so underrated! It made me laugh and cry. Probably one of the most heartwarming films I've seen after Miracle in Cell No. 7. I wish this was available in Netflix so I could recommend it to others. I watched because of the female lead (Ji-won) but I fell in love with the little girl more.
