Amazing movie. According to the fact that I don't watch other movies like this on a daily basis (the genre stands pretty far away from my taste, but that's probably going to change from now on), I think it's a huge word for me to state that it's amazing, but it really is. Even though I didn't really understand all the words, just a few that I've learned from watching other films, dramas or variety shows, it really affected me emotionally. I teared up several times while watching it and it made me think a few things over, causing me to hug my mother a few minutes after it ended.
The story is really sad and it's terrifying to know that these situations happened in real life, not only once or twice. The cast is another thing; you can clearly see who's a senior to who. I think I can point it out that the best actor or actress in this movie is Yoo Sun. It's incredible how much emotion she brings to her character. As for the main person who lead me to this movie, Dongho, I'm also satisfied. A bit of practice and he's going to turn out an incredible actor, I'm telling you. The music gave me chills several times during the film, especially the intense piano sounds and such.
Overall, I think this is way far the best film of 2012, and not only in Korea.

Firstly, the story line was not how I expected it to be, I truly felt the connection between the mother and her daughter. I almost felt as though I was in her situation and I could feel her pain... the story line was truly amazing.
Secondly, the acting standard was truly of the highest. The mother was truly one of the best actors I have probably watched, I mean I actually felt the woman's pain. The bad guys seriously I've never actually hated a character as much as these. I even felt connected with the cop. THAT'S HOW GOOD THIS FILM IS!!!
Lastly, I would watch it again because it was a master piece, and now is one of my favourites! I recommend it to EVERYONE.

the country has laws but fails to protect such victims
●What kind of pain is the worst? Well, every pain is worst, We feel pain for ourselves but when the pain is felt by the child, parents feel an extensive amount of pain that only they can understand. The same happens here when the daughter is raped and threaten, we can only cry and sympathize with them for their pain and loss. No one should go through this but it is a sad reality that many of the parents have gone through losing their children to such beasts of society.●I Am devastated that this crime keeps on rising day by day but the juvenile sentence is still equivalent over many countries. I went through a lot of emotional turmoil seeing the mother-daughter face the cruel society alone. I felt like I should enter the screen and kill those bas***ds myself. These sick-minded teens should be punished according to the adult's punishment. they don't have an ounce of remorse or guilt and relish their crime as if they had achieved something great. What can they give an offer to society after being freed in the society?
●Eun ah and Yoo Rim both acted awesomely. the connection they shared as friends were amazing initially connecting with the audience too. giving their characters a depth of emotions they had built and the breakdown even more infuriating and tragic. They were weak but still attempted to fight for what's right but this so-called lawful country fails to give justice to the victims. The revenge plot was well done by the mother. it may not be realistic but it's very close. the ending is similar to many such movies which are infuriating.
●Music is fine and subtle.
●The tone of the scenes dark and light matches well displaying sadness, anger, and various other emotions.
●If you like crime thriller movies you could watch this. But prepare tissues you are soft-hearted. Cause this movie will give you buckets of tears.
●I don’t know if I will rewatch this cause it's really painful and I don’t want anyone to go through this hell of pain.
