At times, it feels a bit like a Hallmark/Disney Family movie and can feel a bit "over-acted" (perhaps the latter is a cultural difference), but overall it's an engaging story that the actors do well to have you feel. I was a bit disappointed that the Jang Min-Hwan character (the prison warden, played by Jung Jin-Young) wasn't more fully developed, as it appeared that the story there would have been a good replacement for much of the so-so story told from within the walls of the prison. It receives high marks from me due to the powerful emotions that it invokes and its ability to intersperse comedy into a story that would otherwise be difficult to find humor in.
cried a river watching this :'(
Beautiful movie, but not a comedy. Definitively not a comedy...
How to play the video?
What the hell is the point of the movie if the father dies?
Very heart touching. I did cry.... The most heartfelt movie I've ever seen.

Got me thinking about my own father. Cried so much haha a solid 9 from me! Park Shin Hye's crying I felt was a bit forced however, I have never really enjoyed her acting so it may just be me. The plot was amazing (I do love me a sad ending), one part of me didn't want him to die because it was just so unfair, but another part of me wanted him to because it felt much better suited for the plot and would have made it more impactful. Loved the other 5 inmates they added a touch of humour and seemed to be all tough guy on the outside but deep down they were all softies. Highly recommend this if you're in for a crying session peeps
