    A Wonderful Little Gem!

    I'm very glad I saw this movie. It gives a very lifelike and unique glimpse into the lives of a regular brother and sister who are dealing with a difficult situation. This is exactly the kind of movie that I like. It feels so real and so relatable while also letting us see some people from a culture that may be slightly different than our own.

    It really shows just how similar we are all while at the same time being unique. This film has the power to bring people closer together. Koreatown is not that far away from the homes of a lot of the people who will view this beautiful film. And yet this gives us a chance to see it from a new point of view, to see how different it is and how similar it is at the same time. How similar all the people are. The acting is wonderful, as are the directing and the story. Highly recommend.

    When work and family become a burden

    About a girl who works in a noraebang and the struggles that kind of environment brigs with it. She is also balancing being the full time carer of her father. A harsh look on the burden that life can sometimes bring on people. I thought the film lacked a bit more development and substance which could have improved it.

    Hope we see more of Tiffany

    Realistic, stark and rough film about making a go of it under very difficult circumstances. Really carried by Tiffany Chu, hope we get to see much more of her. Well done.

    Beautiful

    The writing, directing, and cinematography are fantastic with a beautiful score as the cherry on top, but the acting can be lackluster at points bringing the over all experience down. The acting is good at parts, sometimes great, but when everything else is at it's a game, the acting sticks out like a sore thumb. Over all, really well executed. I do recommend.

    Quite beautiful

    This is a slow moving drama, but it is beautiful both aesthetically and plot wise. I find it engaging.
