REVIEW:
"...With such a small cast, the burden of the film's success lies primarily on the film's three principals, and the actors acquit themselves quite well in their respective roles. As the focus of attention, Im Soo-Jung delivers a memorable performance as Min-Ah. And although they do have some highly charged emotional scenes, Lee Mi-Sook and Kim Rae-Won bring a welcome amount of comic relief to the proceedings, which in itself, is another positive of the film. Rather than bog down the narrative with the kinds of hefty emotional baggage generally associated with the genre, the filmmakers instead use humor as a more natural way to get the audience to identify and/or sympathize with their characters. In fact, part of what makes …ing a solid film experience is that if the terminal illness aspect were eliminated altogether, what remains - a story about a shy, reclusive girl falling in love with an outgoing young man - would sustain a film in and of itself. And considering the plethora of "terminal illness tearjerkers" plaguing the market these days, part of me wishes that element actually was excised from the film. But still, as far as these things go, this is a topnotch melodrama.
One of the more innovative aspects of the film is that the plot doesn't rely solely on the romance element, but instead gives equal, if not more time, to the unconventional mother-daughter relationship. Because Min-Ah was deprived of friends her own age due to her constant trips to the hospital, her mother asks to be called by her first name, becoming, in effect, Min-Ah's "best friend" from an early age. But even so, the way in which the two characters interact as mother and daughter comes across rather realistically, and Mi Sook's occasional deadpan "revelations" to her daughter always make for entertaining comic digressions..."
