A sad and alternative take on a love story, and I use the term love story very loosely because there's not so much love to be found here, so don't think it's another sappy and unoriginal melodrama. Choi Min-sik (Oldboy, I Saw the Devil) delivers a great performance as a man who looses his wife whom he'd never even met. Very bittersweet and heart-wrenching.
