The film is about a 8-year-old girl who was sexually assaulted by drunk man in her way to school. This 8-year-old girl was Im Sowon (stared by Lee Re). The other main casts are Sol Kyung Gu as Im Dong Hoon, Sowon's father, and Uhm Ji Won as Kim Mi-Hee, Sowon's mother. This movie was directed by Lee Joon Ik. This movie is based on a true story, the horrific rape in 2008 of an 8-year-old girl called "Na Young" by a drunk 57-years-old man. This movie evoked a lot of controversy whether this movie reopen the old wound of the victim, Nayoung. The story begin when Sowon went to school by her own. In her way to school, she met a shabby looking man asking to share her umbrella with him, since it was raining. But then, shortly, Sowon was dragged by the man into an abandoned building near the school, and was beaten and raped until her intestines spill out. She survived from the assault by calling 119 (emergency call number in Korea).ACTORS & ACTRESS--The characters of this movie was well played by the actors and actress, even the children actors and actress did a great job in bringing the character live. For the example, Han Young Seok (Sowon's classmate) character was well played by Kim Do Yeop. I cried a lot in the scene when Young Seok cried out of guilty because he didn't wait for Sowon on the way to school and he blamed himself in a very sweet and innocent way. I also love the way Sol Kyung Gu brought the character of Im Dong- Hoon (Sowon's father) to live. The way he cried and raged was full of emotion that makes the audience know really well what his character was feeling. He was success fully being a desperate father of a sexually abused child. I just can't help crying when he cried. Overall, the actress and the actors are all excellent.FAMILY THEME--I love the interaction between Sowon and his father, Donghoon. The way he want to protect her daughter very much, and the way he want to cheer up her daughter without scare her were the sweetest thing I found in this movie. (After the incident, Sowon showed a tendency of being uneasy/scared around men, including her father, so her father wore Kokomong, Sowon's favorite cartoon character, costume every time he showed up in front of Sowon).FRIENDSHIP THEME--I like the friendship between Sowon's mother and Youngseok's mother and the friendship between Sowon's father and Youngseok's fathers. The fathers and the mothers have very good relationship, and they are not only friends, they are neighbors and best friends who help each other whenever the other are in difficulties. For example, when Donghoon needed some money and he called Youngseok's father and asked about severance pay that he would get if he left his job, but Youngseok's father knew that his friend needed money, so he was willing to lend him some of his savings. Okay, this is very sweet and heartwarming, and I cried again in this scene. And at last, Youngseok and Sowon became friends. Youngseok promised that he will always keep Sowon safe.In short, this movie is one of the best which could bring us to experience the real problem that the main character had by the great acting of the actors, the splendid story and some touching scene. Sexsual abuse victims may be able to recover from physical injuries, but rarely from those who can recover from their psychic injuries, if not directly handle. The film gives a message that the importance of the parent's role in supervising the child and the importance of educating the child to avoid crime as told in this film.

my friend recommend this movie to me, she said it was good and from my opinion this movie's good!! one of best movie i guess. i cried a lot while watch this. this is the 2nd time i cried while watching film after miracle in cell no.7 :) i love the plot of this movie! this movie was a heartwarming. if you guys already watch miracle in cell no.7, you should watch this too!

There is a line which father says to his friend, "You didn't went through all of it". Being a passive viewer of the situation, I felt everything. It felt like I was with the father the whole time. He was feeling so helpless that he couldn't do anything to ease his daughter's pain.The film was full of powerful emotional frames. Out of all, there was one scene which affected me deeply. It was when victim was rushed away from the media, and while her father was cleaning her, she yelled for help, told her father to go away and not to touch her. Putting these words cannot surpass the potency of the scene. You'll feel so much pain. I couldn't get through all of the turbulent emotion running all the frames sequentially while I was writing the review; therefore, I will just end it.

Well, I just watched the movie, and made a search to find out it is based on the real "Nayoung case", and that they Korean system for law is so weak.SPOILERSYoung girl walks at school, a man kidnapped her and then raped her brutally, and beat her almost to death. About the case, the man was prosecuted but his sentence was too light as the real case was.The movie itself was a song for life and survival, a song for bonding and love.As a rape survivor my self (at age 7 and 9. I know, you don't want to know, but it is important) this was so close to me, this have all feelings I had, all struggles I had (not at So-Won case physical level) for shame and pain, and all the conflicts to trust again. This movie just touched me and had my crying a lot, feeling despair, and smiling at So-won's father fight to regain his daughter trust again.The worst: there's nothing wrong to me.The best: the young child actress is awesome.Watch at your own risk, but trust me... this worth it.
