    A detective-style movie with a touch of drama. A woman who has proven that she is indeed a real mother. Good movie. Translated to English

    Another splendor straight from South Korea. The movie is very similar to Memories of Murder, but they have the same director. And it seems that it also breaks all expectations and surprises with the creators’ understanding of human nature. And yes, sometimes you just want to forget… Translated to English
