Personal Comments:

Seriously interesting. At first, I was stunned by Sang Woo’s retarded acting in which I quickly understand that its due to his old past and disease. Jung Ryeo Won was really a perfect actress for the movie, with having a skinny physique, appearance which resembles a sick patient. Both acted well, storyline was good until the bad ending came. Ending sucks.
