Reviews
Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie
Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
TataKaaye 1. you'll definitely cry 2. so-i is an outstanding child actress 3. superb chemistry between characters 4. a 3 year old girl living with immature brother in a cruel world 5. i hope Indian film industry learn few things from Korean industrymust watch 100% entertainmenti felt there was a scene where boy bought ice cream for her little sister and he ran all the way to home from school because of bus fare was taken from the Korean movie the way home 2002 with same child actor Seung-ho Yoo as a child actor where his granny walks to her home from some other town because of bus fare after buying snacks and batteries to him.emotional journey throughout the movie, first when the sister was unhappy because of melted ice then the way she put makeup on her dog, she waits for her brother at bus stop, she wets her bed and blames the dog, her drawing which was showed at the end, the way girl spends her time with dog when her brother is in school, when she cries for her mother and he shouts at her, the comedy scene of hair wash and chilly powder scene, i cant watch the scene where she dies. then in comes second part of story,dog follows master, the train scene where he begs for money is outstanding then movie becomes much more emotional. i cant forget that last scene, so wonderfully written,acted and captured on screen. at the end i was hoping either the boy dies or his sister is alive somehow,. but ending was just awesome. this movie will be in my top 10 list along with grave of fireflies, miracle in cell no. 7, barefoot gen and other with similar emotional movies.
ashutoshbad Must watch for dog lovers and for the people who wonder y people love dogs. the little girl in character of so-I have done a beautiful job. Good to see a little girl being so profound in the emotion that she carries. The one liner that i read in the IMDb did not justify the movie at all. Its just not a brother steals a dog for her sis, but much more. How they grow up together have fun share sorrows :)its about a animal becoming a part of family, his love and his loyalty. Its just a movie but beautifully portraits the love between a human and a dog. The characters have played there parts perfectly…. in and all a must watch. I loved it.
anupverma20 The movie has been underrated. How can such a great movie get a rating of 6.9 when some stupid action movies get a 8. It should have got a rating of at least 8/10. If you love dogs you cannot miss this movie. The movie is very emotional. You will have to shed some tears if you watch it. Excellent movie !!The story is nice. The movie has three main characters: a boy, his sister and their dog. Their acting is superb (yes dog's too). Wonderful performances. Every scene of the movie seems to be very real. Be sure to watch it. You will like it.
dreambigg11 i am new to korean movies but it is an awesome movie i think it is underrated it should be given at least 9/10. if you are in a mood to shed some tears then must must watch.From a technical point of view, there is little to none to criticize. Sometimes the movie may seem somewhat manipulative in its approach to move the viewer, but it also proves to be surprisingly captivating and emotionally engaging. Friends of tearjerker- dramas shouldn't miss this one!First, you might feel led to believe that "Heart is..." is in fact a family movie. There is a cute puppy, that makes its first lumbering footsteps into this new world, and there is the girl Soi who is also cute as a button. What's following in the first half hour is an introduction into an everything but intact, yet happy family life. This joyfulness is naturally emanating from Maeumi, who proves to be a great and lovable playfellow. But there is a reason why this movie is titled a drama. After this nice heart-warming introduction the catastrophe that comes hits us especially hard. What happens in detail is nothing to be written about here - to avoid any spoilering, of course - but when you think about it again, it's also pretty obvious. Still, when we have to watch one of the protagonists meeting his fate, then this scene is nonetheless quite shocking and emotionally involving. Additionally, from this moment on, everything goes down to hell. The feeling of being choked by all the sadness won't leave you until the very end, since director Oh Dal-gyoon lets Chan suffer a true ordeal of a drama
