Great cast and storyline
Was this review helpful to you?
I really, really LOVED that movie. It is one of thos movies whoch take your heart at the first scene. And I have to admit I only got attention to this film because of Chanyeol's appereance but I don't regret watching it at all.
It's a great movie and the crying rate is 101/100. I couldn't stop crying once I started. I might rewatch this, but not immediatley, because I have to let it sink in.

If you’re watching for Chanyeol, he’s more like a cameo, so don’t expect much from him. But if you do watch because of him, watch it until the end, I guarantee you won’t be disappointed. The storyline has its own incredible plot twist, and I’m totally in love with it. I’m not really sure if it’s a plot twist or it’s already explained in the beginning because I stumbled upon this movie when it’s showing in the mid-part already...
The music, I’M IN LOVE!!!! There’s EXO’s ‘Don’t Go’ which is one of my favorite songs of all time! Aaand the instrumentals were just outstanding for me! Loved it!
Overall, a great movie I recommend! Prepare tissues for the end! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Call your grandparents!
This was a heartwarming comedy-drama that looks will make you think about your grandparents / elderly relatives.Cast and Acting: Spear-headed by veteran actor Park Geun Hyung and Oscar winner Youn Yuh-Jung, everyone pulls their weight in this film with the material they're given. Jo Jin Woong deserves a lot of credit here too. K-Drama fans will recognize many familiar faces and cameo appearances. Occasional loud antics on the side from the supporting characters, but these are typical and work well in showing how the connections we build with our neighbors could be stronger than we perceive.
Story: I won't spoil anything, but with the best Korean movies, the story unravels into something you may not expect. The ending is bittersweet and will not please some people, but it ties the plot together in possibly the most realistic way. Again, you might want to give the older people in your family a call once the credits roll, or think of your own situation once you reach that age.
Music: Appropriate for the scenes, but it never overpowered the action.
Overall, you can tell they put a lot of care into the production. Rewatch value may be low for some, including myself. 9/10

This is so much more then what I was expecting. The story is really beautiful. I felt as if someone was reading it to me by a cozy fire on a winter night. Sung Chil (the ill-tempered man) and Geum Nim (the lovable woman) were just so believable as a couple that have fallen in love at an age when most people give up on those "trivial matters of the heart". I don't think I felt so many butterflies from a movie before. It was a joy watching their relationship develop and their feelings growing. I've been a long time fan of actress Yoon Yeo Jung but I was beyond impressed by Park Geun Hyung. He made me think "This is what a veteran actor looks like. This is how he can transcend his life experiences into art". He shined the brightest in this role. His experience really came through. From facial expressions to his shaking hands, everything was spot on.
Thinking back, I think what I enjoyed the most was how delicate this movie was. It was the life story of a great man. No special effects or unnecessary characters. Everything was kept as simple as possible and for me it couldn't have been better. You go into this movie expecting one thing, and for some time you get that, but in one moment you find yourself watching something completely different but because the transition is so smoothly done you get utterly immersed without a second thought.
This is a hidden gem people. You will feel joy, amazement and sadness, but most of all and warmth and love. It made me want to be in love as well because those 2 people seemed so real,nothing about them screamed scripted. Do yourself a favor and give this one a try, I am almost sure you won't regret it.

Heavy stuff plus silliness
Don't care for the romance and the comedy elements are too silly to be paired up with such a heavy topic.Certain old-school values the film promotes are at least questionable to me. People need a partner, really? Also: One partner, they never stray? Maybe this is taking it too far but unrealistic values promoted by movies might be among the reasons people feel inadequate and guilt-ridden over how fragmented their real life is when this is the case for most people, in most circumstances.
What an incredible cast though.
I love the Cho Jin Woong neglecting women's advances cinematic universe.

Muito mais do que eu esperava
Comecei este filme por causa do Chanyeol, e ele nem aparece tanto. Mas fui pega totalmente pela história, é muito linda.O filme começa com uma cena antiga, mostrando um rapaz esperando ansioso uma moça e quando eles se encontram o filme avança para o presente. Depois disso vemos um senhorzinho muito do rabugento trabalhando em um mercado, ele nunca sorri e não tem paciência com nada, isso é por vezes irritante, mas quando ele começa a se envolver com uma senhorinha que aparece no bairro ele fica muito fofo.
Todas as pessoas do bairro são maravilhosas e lutam para ajudar o dois velhinhos a se encontrarem, pois a filha dela não aprova o relacionamento dos dois. Conforme a história corre nós passamos a entender o porquê de todos eles ajudarem os dois velhinhos.
Eu confesso que não esperava chorar nada, porque não achava que fosse esse tipo de filme, mas quando foi se aproximando do final o choro veio certeiro. É muito emocionante. Absolutamente recomendado.

Vale a pena assistir?
O velhinho é todo rabugento e não aceita a assinar a petição da reurbanização kkk mas ele muda bastante depois que uma senhorinha se muda para uma casa ao lado da sua, aí ele começa a amolecer e fica todo empolgado para ir em encontros com ela ( vira adolescente novamente kkkk)Com essa oportunidade o povo do bairro bola um plano...
Mas porque que essa desconhecida aceitou participar desse plano? O que ela ganha com isso? MINHA GENTEE o buraco é bem mais embaixo, tem uma grande história por trás.
O filme não parece tão triste e emocionante até que do meio pro fim temos uma nova visão daquela história que estava sendo contada ali, não vou falar o que é porque assim a experiência de vocês será melhor.
É um filme meio lento mas que no fim você acredita que valeu a pena assistir.
