    a must watch

    i am new to korean movies but it is an awesome movie i think it is underrated it should be given at least 9/10. if you are in a mood to shed some tears then must must watch.From a technical point of view, there is little to none to criticize. Sometimes the movie may seem somewhat manipulative in its approach to move the viewer, but it also proves to be surprisingly captivating and emotionally engaging. Friends of tearjerker- dramas shouldn't miss this one!

    First, you might feel led to believe that "Heart is..." is in fact a family movie. There is a cute puppy, that makes its first lumbering footsteps into this new world, and there is the girl Soi who is also cute as a button. What's following in the first half hour is an introduction into an everything but intact, yet happy family life. This joyfulness is naturally emanating from Maeumi, who proves to be a great and lovable playfellow. But there is a reason why this movie is titled a drama. After this nice heart-warming introduction the catastrophe that comes hits us especially hard. What happens in detail is nothing to be written about here - to avoid any spoilering, of course - but when you think about it again, it's also pretty obvious. Still, when we have to watch one of the protagonists meeting his fate, then this scene is nonetheless quite shocking and emotionally involving. Additionally, from this moment on, everything goes down to hell. The feeling of being choked by all the sadness won't leave you until the very end, since director Oh Dal-gyoon lets Chan suffer a true ordeal of a drama

    Very Touching story

    The movie has been underrated. How can such a great movie get a rating of 6.9 when some stupid action movies get a 8. It should have got a rating of at least 8/10. If you love dogs you cannot miss this movie.

    The movie is very emotional. You will have to shed some tears if you watch it. Excellent movie !!

    The story is nice. The movie has three main characters: a boy, his sister and their dog. Their acting is superb (yes dog's too). Wonderful performances.

    Every scene of the movie seems to be very real. Be sure to watch it. You will like it.

    Best Movie - Must watch for anyone

    This is the first review for any movie I have written.

    The movie was given by my friend and it completely blowed me away. This is the second Korean movie after oldboy.. and this is the best drama movie i have ever seen. After watching the movie I was surprised to see only 170 or so votes and just 7.4. Highly Underrated in my opinion. This movie is a gem and deserves to be in the top 250. The director has done a great job of showcasing everything in a very natural way in his debut movie.Hope he takes a lot of movies in the future. As a dog owner I was really moved in a lot of scenes. I guess slumdog millionaire has copied a little from this story.

    Watch the movie with a handkerchief nearby.

    Must watch for everyone who needs a piece of Love

    This is the first Korean movie I have seen. And, this made me a lover of Korean movies.

    The way the bond between the Dog and the Boy is shown is fantastic right from the scene where the Boy gifts the puppy to his Sister. The Director scores in every scene particularly in the scene where the Boy finds the drawing book of his Sister's.

    The emotional fight and the reunion between the Boy and Dog pulls up your feelings.I really cried when they united as if the Boy was me and it's my own Dog.

    It makes me cry when the Boy cries holding his Dog in the final scene. Although, the movie finishes up with a light mood giving you a good feeling behind those tears.

    If you're gonna watch one movie of the kind 'Love between Men and Animals', then this be it.

    A must watch for all those who feels for an another life.

    must watch

    Must watch for dog lovers and for the people who wonder y people love dogs. the little girl in character of so-I have done a beautiful job. Good to see a little girl being so profound in the emotion that she carries. The one liner that i read in the IMDb did not justify the movie at all. Its just not a brother steals a dog for her sis, but much more. How they grow up together have fun share sorrows :)its about a animal becoming a part of family, his love and his loyalty. Its just a movie but beautifully portraits the love between a human and a dog. The characters have played there parts perfectly…. in and all a must watch. I loved it.
