The movie is about the life of inmates who are inspired to show their talents to other people outside the jail.
I was carried away by the great acting of the actresses especially the main ones, Kim YunJin of Lost, and Na Moon Hee of Padam Padam. The drama of this movie works because it builds emotion right up until the end and it shows how prejudice people are on inmates. I give this movie a perfect 10 because it is superb!!!

Story:
You don't understand how amazing this movie is. To people who have viewed others who went to jail with disgust or contempt. Young lady/man you better go and watch this. It will change your thoughts/feelings on this matter. The theme of this movie is not a light one. But the director made it work. A woman who is convicted of manslaughter for accidently killing her abusive husband. Gives birth in jail and chooses to raise her baby boy, Min Woo. But heres the catch, she can only keep him for 18 months. Then afterwards he is sent to adoption. Seriously she made the right choice. You should see the baby boy (absolutely gorgeous), his always smiling and filled with life. There's also the inmates, each with their own story to tell.
Acting/Cast:
The acting was perfection. Whoever played the role for baby Min Woo is the best! I'm a sucker for babies!
Kim Yoon Jin is such an azmazing actress. Her betrayal of Jeong Hye is flawless. I could not imagine someone else even playing the role. She's a woman who loves her baby boy above everything and anything. I love her.
Na Moon Hee, Lee Da Hee, Kang Ye Won, Jung Soo Young, Park Jun Myun are all very commendable actresses. There are others as well but their the main ones. Everyone had this atmosphere, where they feed of each others energy. It was amazing!
Music:
*tears* When they all sang together, I felt like angels were singing. Especially the ending songs, I couldn't stop crying. Music is a very important part of this film.
Rewatch:
You must be all wondering why on earth I haven't given a 10 for this. There is only one reason, I don't want to have another cry fest.
Overall:
10/10. What is there more to say. Except GO AND WATCH IT NOW!

The story was very inspiring yet heartbreaking, I started to cry even while watching the trailer and the end was extremely moving.

You think that these women would be mad crazy people but, once you see their stories and their reasons you start to think about it. and it's true most women have to go trough some hard thing in order to survive just that some of them can't seem to get away from their problems and end up doing things that they regret.
It's rare that I cry while watching a movie and this movie made me cry so hard my head hurts. It's heartbreakingly good.

I never though I would have cried that much if I would have watch it but ths movie is really heart-warming.
You learn and you understand a lot of things:
- always live your life while you can
- don't judge people by their appearance
- be strong and smile
Despite, all this good advices, the most important subject is the MOTHER: "omma". After watching this movie, I think that my mother is the most beautiful person in the world.
A mother's love is eternal.

If you are looking for comedy then this movie isn't for you. But if you are looking for a deep movie that can make you think of your family and friends, then this is for you. This movie is different, there aren't any bad people in it even though it's about jail/crime. After having watched TV a lot, I have always felt like there aren't any good people left in this world but this movie proved me wrong. Yes, it's only a movie but there are definitely people like them. This movie really touched me and made me to look to the brighter side of life. The way they were helping and supporting each other was just beautiful. Just fantastic!
although I'm a guy, this movie really touched my soul and made me cry my eyes out especially when the little kid was adopted and taken away from her mother was so sad. But the mother really knew how to move on even though she had her son deep in her heart.
The acting was fantastic and real. You can't take anything away from them for pulling off such an amaizing performance. Absolutely top notch! The whole cast, director and writer deserves a huge standing ovation for this fantastic movie.
And the music, WOW!!! I'm listening to it right know while I'm writing this review. Jea's and Lee young Hyun's voices are just wow. And the actual song is really good as well which made the movie even more awesome since there was so many touching scenes! Brilliant! Deserves credit!
Overall, If you haven't watched it, watch it. This is it, a real movie. If you are looking for something like that... WATCH IT!!!! You'll not regret. 11/10!!

This movie deserves an infinite amount of stars! ⭐️
If everyone involved with the production, the story, and everything in this movie could get a dollar for every time it manages to make me teary-eyed, they would all definitely be a millionaire! I saved this movie for a special movie night with my siblings when we all gather for a sleepover, and I must say this movie was the perfect pick! I tend to avoid watching tearjerker movies since I know I would be a total crybaby every time I watch them, so I thought watching this movie together with my cousins and my sister would be perfect!I just don’t know where to start with this movie. Everything was perfect. Whether it was the acting, the story, and gosh—the MUSIC! It was heavenly. Traumerei was an excellent choice! And I just think that everyone did a really great job portraying all their characters. Even though this movie was mostly depressing, heartbreaking and sad, I definitely found myself smiling and laughing heartily on some of the scenes—which I think it was hard to do but they managed to wrap it all up perfectly!
The only thing bothering me is the ending. It seemed like something wasn’t finished, like it was cut off. There weren’t even any credits in the end, which I think was odd. But still, I think this movie was really really beautiful. Although heartbreaking, I would love to rewatch this anytime! Overall, a 10/10 for sure! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Just have a box of tissues.
The only reason I'm taking points of the rewatch value is because you'll want to cry all over again. A particular kind of cry. One I'd have to be ready for again. Seriously, have tissues handy.This was a beautiful movie. I loved the characters and their stories, some where straight up injustices, and some that you realized that probably did deserve what they got. It was still hard to see anything happen to these women though. More so it's about connections and choices. It always makes me sad seeing how South Korea portrays orphans and prisoners. Prejudices against people for things they can't control. I hope this isn't really how it is . . . . but I've been told it is.
The actors were amazing. Whether they were top cast or just little side rolls. Which is impressive. The characters grew and the actors did such a wonderful job that you could see that growth. Be totally affected with it right along these amazing women.
The music was great. Which is important here! It was used in so many ways. To make us laugh. Empower the women. Convey hope, longing, and eventually heart break.
Overall I probably can't add to the praise everyone else has already sung (hahaha! couldn't resist), but I definitely will say this is good enough that I would suggest it to none K-drama fans. It holds up well enough. I was so happy with the acting and story. It was such a moving movie and I loved that all of the characters grew. No one was unaffected by the plot!
