While there was much I enjoyed in this movie, the main character development did not seem believable to me. I liked seeing the rural lifestyle, the local people, and other parts of the Korean cultural environment. The grandmother was a touching character, though a little bit too one-note. But the boy was such a brat I lost patience with watching him. I did not think his character changed and developed enough to warrant the movie even being called a melodrama. Unlike other reviewers here, my emotions were not much engaged by the characters. The friend I saw it with agreed.
