This movie was so cute! I really didn't get into until the end but the end was the best part of the movie other than So Ji Seob (Sup).

It started out really well. The cuteness factor set in. Then it got kind of dull. I sort of wanted to smack Sang-tae's kids. Their rudeness and obvious disparity towards their father was evident but it really was far beyond respect.

The dull factor came when Kang-jo kept breaking into the house to eat Sang-tae's wife's food that was obviously gross. I didn't really care for that.....it was sort of like a courtship between Kang-jo and Sang-tae's wife. Something that wasn't really necessary...but then.......

Kang-jo stole Sang-tae's diary and from that point on.....the movie was back together again and the fun began. Let's just say I '"ahh"ed when Kang-jo sent neckties to Sang-tae! From that point on, you knew they had some sort of twisted friendship.

It was fun! Gotta watch. Hang in there past a few dull parts because it does come together in the end.
