Viewing Notes

That poster image is ridiculous. Makes it look like this is a buddy comedy (it’s not).

This is another happy sad or sad happy movies. did not realize there was a supernatural aspect to the story so that was a wild surprise. Ma Dong-seok is an unlikable character for a change which makes this interesting.

The plot contrivances are annoying but I can accept what they are doing to make a very watchable father / daughter story dealing with some difficult issues. Plus Don Lee still manages to punch some bad dudes. And all of it in a tight 97 minute runtime, which was nice.
