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.

"Hearty Paws" feels like a sweet, heart touching tale of a bond between a brother, sister and their pet dog. At certain level, the film succeeds in bringing its emotions. But at the same time, there is much of unpleasantness and meanness in the story which doesn't make it a favorable watch. Only in few reels the film sticks to its main theme of portraying the bond between the dog and boy and entertains through the activities of the dog. Rest of the film meanders into the unpleasantness sequences of gangsters, cruelty involving animals and orphans which highly declines the movie into an average, forgettable film.Rating: 1 star out of 4

I agree with the other reviewers, this movie is SOOOOO underrated. No movie has moved me to the extent where I would finish the movie in red, blabbering mess. This movie was amazing!!!This movie's plot is amazing! All the actors are simply excellent, and everything was well presented. Especially the main characters, the boy, Yu Seung Woo, what amazing talent from a young age. Even the dog was beautifully trained and made me laugh, smile, cry, cry a little more and swear that dogs are truly, a man's best friend. Anyone who loves dog must definitely watch this. So excellent. Please trust me and watch it! It will make your day. or Week. Or month. really.

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
