I cried a river, so if you have dry eyes, go for it. The acting was great, the pace, the story, everything was done very well. The only reason I give it not a 10 is because it was a bit too dramatic. I mean, when you think it cannot get any worse (the parents died, the boy becomes blind) it get's worse. How is that possible? It's a story, I know, but that's really some incredible bad luck. Overall a beautifully made movie that proves how great the korean cinema can be.
