Mi-sseu-baek

May be the story is a little bit unbelievable , but the play of the 2 main characters are really incredible. Is like a miracle the way the director lead such a dramatic story to the end. I note 8 , but is 8,5.

Miss Baek (2018)

My thoughts: This can be a tough watch at times because of its depictions of child abuse. The story reminded me somewhat of the film A Girl at My Door, though I don't think Miss Baek was quite as strong or impactful as that one.

Still, I enjoyed the film overall. The chemistry between Baek Sang-ah (Han Ji-min) and Ji-eun (Kim Si-a) felt genuine and convincing. Their relationship managed to be both heartwarming and heartbreaking, often simultaneously.

Lee Hee-jun, who plays detective Jang-seop, delivered another solid performance. He seems to pop up frequently in the Korean films I watch, always reliable and authentic in his roles.

While it didn't quite reach the heights of similar films for me, Miss Baek still provides an emotional and engaging story worth watching.

Review written by artist jayakumar jrain.

We are all (maybe) medically fit to be a parents, but are we all fit to raise a child?! Some of us think that child is just a nuisance and not a bless. And also, if we were abused as a child, would we also become an abuser later?! Couldn't we breakout of this vicious cycle and become a good parents?! This movie deals with that issue in every aspects, making it a balance movie.

Good script, good direction and good acting.

Definitely 9/10.

A woman who has suffered abuse from an alcoholic mother sees a little girl in the street and befriends her and slowly draws closer and closer to the girl. She confronts the kids step mother and lowlife father who have been treating the girl worse than a dog. Korean social services is worse than ours in America. The story is a sad and riveting one. The kid is great and so is the lead heroic woman. I did not care for the sloppy editing and it makes the film a bit confusing. Even so, I highly recommend this tear jerker.

Tough watch but pretty flawless from a acting and writing standpoint, i can think of better endings but hey its Korea and they could have really made this ending so much worse.

I'd recommend this its well done but not pleasant.
