So the story isn't anything amazing, and really the way it pulls your heart strings is a bit obvious, but the execution of the film and the boys acting is fantastic. I'm a 48 year old man who served in the military, and I cried 5 times during this film.
A great romantic/weepy film with a touching nostalgia showing tenderness, love and the difficulty of a man and his son coping with loss. Korean films are great, and this is one.of their good ones. Scenery and filming is beautiful and integral to the film.

Cried 5 times. Beautiful film
Some very good moments - be patient
There are 2 good parts of this movie that make it worth watching. Be patient and watch it to the end. It may seem slow in the middle but there is a reward. The ending has an unexpected twist that is good and there is a scene at the kid's school when they are on stage that is very moving and unexpected. I found the premise a bit hard to accept. The acting is fine. Son Ye Jin is lovely as always. The kid is cute. So Ji Sub doesn't have the kind of face that seems right for this kind of romantic drama but he acts well enough.
Good enough
This was an emotional movie, about a family who losses their mom and yet, miraculously, she appears again. The performances were great from all the actors and especially the kid, who was exeptional. The love story was cute and sweet as well. The whole fantasy element was well explained, so there were no plot holes in the story and the ending was original and realistic. So seven out of ten for this simple, yet powerful story.
