I can tell why this film was such a big hit in Korea, it has a lot of elements that Asian audiences love to watch especially it's humor. The Korean humor of it fit right in with the movie, and although Korea really isn't known for making great comedies, this one really worked. And it's mix of funny, sad and touching moments kept me entertained throughout the whole film and although there is quite a bit of singing in this, it was well done as well, but wished they took the stuff about the kid in the story being a prodigy at playing cards, playing the piano, and etc in order to be likable. I also though the part of Cha Tae-Hyun singing in order to impress the teacher to be lame and not necessary, maybe it's cause he just doesn't have the charisma or cause he is just not a likable character. Anyways, nothing about this movie seemed really forced even the dramatic moments and the comedy worked fine as well. So any one who is into Korean movies, I recommend you check it out even if some of the Korean humor is difficult to understand for some.

7.9/10

This is by far the best Korean movie I've ever saw. The movie has style that's not seen in movies from other Asian countries, and production is beautiful.

This movie has comedy, lifestyle, and music all rolled into one, and actors are all fantastic as well. I liked all the actors in this movie, which is unusual. Cinematography is top notch, and music is also good.

So, what is not to like about this movie ? This is one of the best movies to come out of Asia, and if Korean movie studios keep making movies like this, their future is bright.

One caveat is that you need to see this movie from a high quality source. Otherwise, beautiful visuals will be missed.

I really liked this movie, and is highly recommended.

Able to humor an audience even though there is a cultural gap for non-Korean viewers. Manages a couple of laugh out loud moments in a mostly G-rated family oriented film. If you have no problems with subtitles or situational comedies, this movie is worth your time.

The film stays away from preaching its value set. Rather spending the 108 minutes of run time on the situations that have been created out of the characters choices.

Tae-hyun Cha creates a solid performance. In a role that could have been an unlikeable character, yet he keeps the main character fun. Bo-yeong Park plays her role down the middle. A solid performance from the side-kick role, Ji-ru Sung appears to steal every scene he is a part of.

Its just a drama genre but great story plot...a 30 plus radio jockey who learns that he became a grandfather due to his teenage love...once they rejoin in same home then comedy, sentiment starts until end.. Must watch movie...!!

The tone of this show is enjoyable funny and tightly written so each scene is fun and not redundant and never painful. Lots of endearing characters. The kid is amazing. PBY has her breakthrough performance and she is cute and believable. They all look alike GF daughter and grand kid. A well crafted comic gem.
