    Heart touching movie

    Love how Wan deuk start to care about his life, family and also build a relationship again with his friend

    Wandeuki is the best title!

    It makes me weird why they put PUNCH for its international title, just put WANDEUKI (taegukki?) its more suitable! Maybe its a metaphor, that boy use his punch to change his life! (right?).

    What a superb director and screenwriter?! They can put on many character and they developed them well until we get nailed to know each character's story. This movie actually not depict a life of zero-boy who become hero after joined kickboxing (cliche?). This is heartwarming movie, mixed of many theme - drama,comedy,lovey dovey,religious,action. Whaaa... they did so well.

    Its hard to find a live action movie without antagonist (except ghibli) nowadays. I recommend you this stuff. I tell you some synopsis, its about a poor-stupid boy who have no friend,no girlfriend,money,no mommy and his main plan how to get all that important stuff. Exciting... do I make you excited?

    what a wonderful movie!

    excellent Korean warm-up-your-heart movie. a lonely teenager, a struggling father, a crazy high school teacher, a timid but loving immigrant mother. this movie is a great example of how the Korean movies are sometimes superior to other Asian countries movies. you have to transcend the difference of the cultures to know that at the bottom of all human hearts, parental love is the most important thing to all the kids. all the children cannot and would not grow up to be a happy person if their parents are separated or divorced, because once the unity is broken, shattered like a mirror, none of the family member would find a complete image of their own. this is a wonderful Korean movie that i fully appreciated and enjoyed, because it showed us the other side of the rich facade of a developing country, poor and dirty neighborhood, the forever shanty town with struggling majority population of all the countries everywhere in the world. the screenplay writer(s), like painter, drawing a water color painting full of vivid scenes and people, and turned it out to be a masterpiece.

    Lessons of Life

    Through this movie, we can learns about the life of the poor and immigrant workers in South Korea. Even though South Korea in advanced in many aspects, especially technologies and K-Pop, but in reality there are still poor citizens in the country who must still struggle to eat, have good home, and good education for the future. The film also tries to depict the lives of immigrant workers and their problems when they works in South Korea. Yoo Ah-In acting is good. He is able to portray a child from multi-ethnic family. Kang Byul role as Yoon-ha is also good. She looks simple but beautiful and smart in this film. Good to watch film if we want to know the other side of life in South Korean.
