Basically, I have nothing more to add than what JFL wrote. The naive past and the present... although it tries to play on a realistic string, it's more of an adult fairy tale, where I thought I'd just let myself get swept up in the whirlwind of excitement and emotion the filmmakers were trying to throw at the viewer, but the ending let me down. Not so much the fairy tale gifts, but the very last scene, which for me completely overturned its combination of a fairytale quality with a slight bitterness. And honestly, I couldn't quite figure out which adult was which girl in the end. Only three were 100% clear to me, the third only because she was obese everywhere. I understand that the film can enchant you when you’re drawn into its melancholy and other such feelings, but somehow that didn't transfer to me. So maybe next time I'll finally get lucky enough to see a Korean film that wins me over. (2018.01.21)

This is the second best Asian comedy I've seen. My beloved Scandal Makers still holds the top spot. And since these two films are from the same director, I have a hunch who gets the credit. I'm finally starting to get their humor properly. The characters are perfectly drawn, so I feel like I've known them for a while. The linking of the present and the past, including the choice of actresses, was also well done. The final dance was absolutely flawless. I've never seen Korean "girls" rock out like that before... bravoooo! 4.5 stars. (2012.01.12)
