quite simple life until Ye Sungs father one day gets arrested for the murder and
the rape of a little young girl. Marked from the get-go and unable to explain
his story, Young Goo is put in jail, and is a possible candidate for the death
sentence. In prison he is immediately hated by the prison ward Jang Min Hwan
(Jung Jin Young), who also lost his son by a child molester, and is even beaten
for asking to make a call.
After getting put in
cell with five other inmates, Young Goo saves the leader of the five from a
stab, and gets a wish granted - where he asks for his daughter.
The leader grants him
the request, but now Young Goo and daughter Ye Sung refuse to get separated,
and the date for Young Goo’s trial is getting closer and closer. Can he be
saved?
Firstly I apologize
for the short review, and quite boring one - I swear its better!
Okay, so I watched
this not knowing anything about it, and rather than saying I was searching for
it, I actually kind of stumbled on it. And I have to say, it really is one of
the best movies I have watched ever. I cried so hard and for so long, I was a
mess when it finished. There was not a single thing I didn’t like about this
movie, seriously not a single thing. I mean the acting was superb and so was
the cast, so nothing there. Also the screenplay and story were so well written
and acted that I was satisfied afterwards. It’s a heartwarming and heart
wrenching drama; so a definite recommendable movie!
