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...!!
While the story has been told in movies before, it has never been told as well & with acting this good. Bo-yeong Park would have at least been nominated for an Academy Award if this was a Hollywood film. It was enjoyable from start to finish.
Basically a drama with little sporadic comedic bits just to not make it too deep or serious. While the story is familiar of daughter finding long-lost Father, the way it is treated is different. You can't predict what comes next like others. The acting is so good (even if you need the subtitles) you really feel close to all the characters. When Hollywood uses this story, its always pure fluff or a comedy with no laughs.
If you normally stay away from foreign non-English movies, this is one of the movies you really should try. A great example that some of the best movies are made outside of Hollywood.
One of the best Korean movie I have ever seen. Really a master piece worth watching one. The grip of the movie is really effective two hours just felt like 15 minutes. Ground breaking story line which is even more uplifted by the actors. Each and every component of the movie is just perfect. A complete family movie and a promising mood lifter.
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.

Top stars and the kid is cute but not that interesting and funny. It wants to be a drama but turns to be a comedy or the other way around.
