Granted I am biased with all matters Yoo, however he lost points when choosing to depict an adulterous father of a depressed child and mentally unstable wife. Gong Yoo’s character is one that pleasantly surprised me here. The moral conflict caused by the affair is more apparent in her character and she portrays the hesitation very well. Once she is back on home ground, however, we see her in a different light as she is successfully running her family fashion line and seems more confident that she was in Finland. In the first half of the movie, we see Jeon Do-Yeon playing a very stoic mother of a mentally handicapped boy who we later learn seems to be the glue that is holding her marriage together. There is no antagonist in this piece other than life itself. What I got, however, was a very real story of broken individuals with difficult family lives who deal with very believable and relatable situations just trying to figure things out as best they can. The other would be a tale of secret rendezvous, perhaps an abusive husband/neglectful wife and eventual murder of either the problematic spouses or our protagonists. One would be to show how it is never too late to find true love which will eventually help you conquer all the obstacles in its path. Rewatch Value 8.0 Given the shady subject matter of the movie, there were only a few possibilities that the movie would have to progress.
