Reality & Friendship

Karim, who is a migrant in Korea is frustrated with his boss who didn't pay him for 1 year. He was breaking mentally day by day with his life thinking about family of Bangladesh. Then he met Minsuah, who is a high school girl with a problematic family. Both of the leading actors needed money for their need and they wanted to be happy in life. That made them friend and built a strong friendship. Minsuah was lonely and she needed a friend to share her thoughts. Karim who was dealing problems with his boss, migration-passport problem, gave companion to her and she also understood Karim's side. Migrants are still leaving like this and this movie has shown the reality quite beautifully with charming friendship-love.

Nothing extraordinary,still makes a good impression on you

I am quite a regular viewer of Korean film and watched nearly 50 movies already( I am not a Korean though lol)...but this film meant something different to me.

it was my first dong-il shin film.although it was an independent film under budget constraint,the director made the best out of it quite comfortably.the acting of the two lead characters have been up to the mark.the characters were well developed but in the end the story lead to an uncertain ending.

It is a story of an immigrant Bangladeshi worker karim(Mahbub Alam)who came to Korea for a better fortune just like other guys from south-east Asia.He eventually met a girl named Minsuh(Jin-hee Baek) and both of them had a good friendship.but things turned out to be different later on.this film reflects the hardship of immigrant workers in Korea and has been a realistic portrayal of generation conflicts among the families like minsuh's.

for the viewers of korean film this is sure going to be quite an enjoyable experience and it's a MUST SEE for all bangladeshi's.i rated it 9/10.

Sometimes life offers unlikely encounter in unusual way!

Hey! Want to hear a story about a Bangladeshi boy and Korean girl? Here it is. An unlikely friendship. What happens? I am not going to tell you. Watch the movie and find out.

What I am going to tell you is, don't watch this movie expecting all the usual outcomes that happens in a movie. Prepare your mindset to be carried by a beautiful blue ride of humane relationship and cultural encounter. Find out what life has to offer in a very unusual way.

Movies tell story. This movie is an independent film with low budget. But it is an amiable story about simple emotions of ordinary people.

Being a Bangladeshi, I might be a little bit biased towards the movie. But that is what I felt.
