For a movie about a piano teacher and a musical prodigy it's extremely moving funny and involving. What a gem this well written and tightly constructed Korean movie turned out to be. The story is possible and plays out naturally to a realistic and feel good ending - not fairy tale but just right. First off the piano teacher is a well drawn realistic character and she gets your sympathy. Then the prodigy's story also feels real as his talent is discovered and the nurtured. The actors are good and moving and look like they really can play the piano. Better than Madam Souzatska. The piano music is just right - not too much but enough to delight audiences and suitable for the story especially the grand finale with Rach 2.
