Review:
Watching this film is very romantic and I feel like I’m reading a good book. The story flows smoothly, but also gives you quite a twist at the end. I think it’s quite typical Korean romance film, you need to cry some. I think this is one of the must watch films if you like romantic film.
Funny thing is that I don’t really have anything to say for each leading characters individually, but when look at them as a whole, I think they just seem to fit in with one another so well. This film is also the second time that I watch Park Eun Hye other then Silence. I really like seeing her in this story. She plays the role of one side love so well.
