Audience Member A movie that tells a simple and straightforward story, yet contains humour which is morbid at the same time. Certain issues that the movie depicts can be considered as reel life turned into real life. Something noteworthy is that this movie was one of the first movies that Chang-jeong Im stars in. Overall, an average movie. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
