I have issues with the message
This is definitely one of the best Korean movies of all time. However, my issue is that the whole message of this movie is “don’t judge without knowing all the facts” which is not a great stance considering current events. No man deserves to have benefit of the doubt when it comes to r*pe and p*dophilia. Period. That’s the long and short of it. Yes Lee Yong Goo’s story is a sad and unfortunate one. Granted. But what the woman saw in the market could not be given a “what if that’s not what happened” treatment. Absolutely not. I refuse to even entertain the idea of r*pists having any form of sympathy. Or to hear their side of story. Nope. Absolutely not. So, yeah while I do feel for Lee Yong Goo and his daughter, I believe what happened to him was justified given the circumstances as well as his own confession.
Having said that, this movie had me sobbing like a baby!!!!! THIS is what “boys will be boys” should be ? these boys got me laughing like an idiot while bawling my eyes out. Also can we talk about baby Yea Seung for a minute?! What a brilliant little actress. The future of kdrama is in good hands.
All in all, 100% would recommend.
