A true heartfelt comedy.

We see a bond between a father who is mentally ill and his lovingly cute
daughter. A truly close one. While mentally unfit, the father's emotions and love are undeniable. And
then you've got a smart, understanding daughter who loves her dad so much, and doesn't see her dad
differently. There's a tragically engaging story behind it—a kind-hearted father, as innocent as he is,
charged with murder and rape.

The jail scenes act as an icing to the story. In fact, a place so dreaded and gloomy is where most of the
comedy takes place. It reveals the bright side of life in jail, and that not all inmates are gangsters or evil
people. There's a heart for everybody, a healthy one that is. They made their cell in prison a very
bearable environment. So much so that even the daughter of Ye-Seung may hide in it and stay with
them.

All characters have very important roles to play in constructing the entire film. It's fun to look at jail
prisoners, all of whom have their own personalities. Ryoo Seung-Yong quite convincingly depicted the
mentally handicapped father's character. And Kal So-Won, the child actor, is so cute and sweet and so
suited to her part. It turns out that even the adult version of the girl is a true sweetheart and has a really
captivating performance.

The film shows us that you can be anyone as powerful as a police chief, but you can be a cruel
personality. Or someone as simple-minded as the father of this story, but with a good heart. In reality,
rankings and positions do not decide an individual. Often things are more delightful when they're not
complicated, as long as we know how to appreciate and cherish all that we have.

It's certainly one of the best movies in Korea. Filled with tears and laughter. Yeah, you're going to have
to prepare some tissues as it gets really teary-eyed by the end. Not only once. The audience's hearts are
quickly touched by the pleasure of watching movies from the beginning to the end, and the convincing
drama at the same time. Quite well thought out and exceptionally well executed. It's a real gem.
