OK, completed watching the whole movie. Very heartwarming movie with unique storyline (a grandson taking care of his late grandfather's little daughter), with a stellar acting performance of the cast.
First thing first -- the child actress portraying Rin -- she's spectacular. Great and natural acting skills for her age, plus she's very beautiful and cute at the same time. The actor portraying Daikichi also performed a very good job!
Some of the scenes are heartwarming, some heartbreaking. My favourite heartwarming scene is when Daikichi temporarily left Rin with his parents and sister while he went to meet Rin's biological mother at the cafe -- when he came back, he saw Rin getting along with Daikichi parents and sister (Kazumi), practicing her dancing moves for her upcoming performance. Even aunt Kazumi taught Rin to do the dance well! This is in contrast with the situation in the earlier part of the movie during the grandfather's funeral where Rin was treated like an outcast and nobody from the big family cared about her, except Daikichi. Rin looked so sad and lonely -- very heartbreaking.
Another heartwarming scene was during Rin, Kouki and their friends' performance! Not only Daikichi, but his parents, Kazumi and even her boyfriend came to watch the performance. Seeing Rin so happy during and after the performance, when she can get along with everyone in the family even Kazumi's boyfriend, warmed my heart!
The most heartbreaking scene was when the kids left the school to go to Kouki's father's grave. When both Kouki and Rin cried, I cried as well. I cried badly. It is the same case when the kids managed to safely back home by themselves and were reunited with their mother and guardian. The reunion scene was heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time. I cried.
The ending is good (I heard the manga's ending is bad), although it could be better. I was hoping that Daikichi and Yukari (Kouki's mother) can be together -- they almost kissed the night after both of the kids went missing (the grave scene), but at the end of the movie, it was implied that they continued to be friends and do not start dating each other.
Also, I wished Daikichi proceeded to adopt Rin. I know he asked her and Rin said no, but she's still a little girl and such decision should be done by Daikichi, may be after consulting his parents and family. In terms of paperwork, family register etc, it'll be much easier for Rin to become Daikichi's adopted daughter. And lastly, I wish Rin would call Daikichi "dad".
Note: I know the above didn't happen because of the continuation of the story in the manga version, but since we have a consensus that the manga version's ending is bad, I wish that a sequel of the movie can be produced with its own storyline and not following the manga's storyline altogether.
Last verdict, it's a 9.5/10, almost 10/10 for me. Highly recommended!
Who didn't cry on the scene where the two kids are in the boy's father's grave, and when they went back home and being reunited with their respective parent/guardian? I cried badly.
- Yes the slime is the monster version of Yeongsu- Sangwon entered Yisu’s body so he’s the one controlling…
Ah yes, now I remember. Well it's not her fault that she thought humans are bad, remember how Yikyung treated her badly when she was a child (she wished her daughter was dead, locked her inside the small room on the ship where they stayed, etc).
Also remember when some evil humans hunted her when she was a little girl and shot arrows at her back (can't remember which episode on S2, I think around episode 6-7). Remembering that scene already make my blood boils, how could they do that to a little girl!!! I was crying and screaming watching the scene.
- Yes the slime is the monster version of Yeongsu- Sangwon entered Yisu’s body so he’s the one controlling…
Thanks for the reply. I still think Yi-su is a good character. Yes, she hated her mother but that was because her mother treated her badly when she was little, remember her mom even wished that she was dead. However, she still decided to follow her mother at the stadium, after learning that her father is evil. And when she was dying after she was stabbed by Eun-hyeok (to oust her father's monster instance from her body), and Hyun-soo carried her and put her aside, she asked Hyun-soo to kill her evil father for her. I am crying when I watched the scene.I am sad that many commenters dislike Yi-su's character and think that she's one of the villains. No, she is one of the protagonists and the heroine in the drama. I love Yi-su's character very much. ❤️❤️
I feel the last episode is anti-climatic, with Sang-won already dead at one third of the last episode, and the remaining episode feels boring.
A lot of things not explained properly, I still don't understand what are the "neohumans" and how they are different from monsters and humans. What happened to Eun-yu, the survivors, etc.
How Yeung-su can go back to the human form from his slime monster format, and whether the lady next to him is really a grown-up Yi-su?
It's a good drama, but I think the ending is a bit disappointing.
- The slime is the monster version of Yeong-su after Yi-su converted him to one? - Sang Won has managed to enter Yi-su's body, so now Yi-su is evil because her body is controlled by her father? - So the Yi-su character herself is not evil? Not quite understand why many commenters here saying that Yi-su is evil. I love the character and the actress (Kim Si-a) dearly, I don't want to continue watching if her character is evil.
I agree with some commenters below that the drama is losing steam on the last episode, feeling "empty" in the final episode, like there was no "climax". But overall, I still find this drama to be entertaining, comforting and heartwarming in general.
I would recommend watching this drama to everyone. Sweet, funny and sometimes just a bit "scary", but overall it's heartwarming to see Eunha's interactions with Jihwan and the boys. At the end, prosecutor Jang also is not as "annoying" as earlier and he accepted that Eunha and Jihwan are meant to be together.
Definitely one of my favourite dramas for this year!
Only dramas that are airing on KBS, SBS and MBC are affected by the Olympics until after August 11th. The other…
Ah OK, noted. I thought this would be affected since many of other airing dramas that I watch such as Good Partner, Suji & Uri and Snow White's Revenge (Scandal) are affected. Glad to hear that I can finish this drama today, yay!
Who didn't cry when Eunha, prosecutor Jang, Jae-soo and others cried when Jihwan is being whisked to the operation room at the beginning of episode 16? I cried.
Finally the girl has a name. Her name is Yi-su, Seo Yi-su, to be exact. Her mom gave her the name, just before she was killed... by the girl's father!
My tears fall to see the girl crying because of the demise of her mom (Yi-kyung). She really loves her mom, despite how bad Yi-kyung treated the girl since season 2 when she was born. The scene at the end of episode 4 wrecked me. :(
Finally managed to complete watching the movie last night. The second half is better than the boring first half.
I am more interested in the Chinese lady who is dead but pretend to be alive to her daughter with the grandmother's disapproval. Their last scene in the airport when the woman AI confessed to her daughter that she's actually dead, and her last conversation with the grandmother moved me to tears
I am not really interested in the Jung-in and Tae-ju characters at all, despite the fact that Suzy and Bogum are my favourite actors. Not too sure why. I guess they fell victims to bad characters writing and storyline.
Oh and I love Gong Yoo and his English speaking accent, lol. Same with Tang Wei.
BTW, who is the child actress portraying Bai Jia, the Chinese lady's daughter? She is not in the cast list.
Overall, an OK movie with boring first half (first hour) but getting better in the second half.

In this drama, Jiho portrayed a not so good dad to a good child, reminding me of Oh My Geumbi (2016).
This is also my first time watching IU in a drama.
I love Bae Hae Sun as well. Watched her in See You in My 19th Life.
Let's see how it goes. :)
Also remember when some evil humans hunted her when she was a little girl and shot arrows at her back (can't remember which episode on S2, I think around episode 6-7). Remembering that scene already make my blood boils, how could they do that to a little girl!!! I was crying and screaming watching the scene.
So when it is said that Hyun-soo can change monster back into humans, they are actually turning into neohumans?
A lot of things not explained properly, I still don't understand what are the "neohumans" and how they are different from monsters and humans. What happened to Eun-yu, the survivors, etc.
How Yeung-su can go back to the human form from his slime monster format, and whether the lady next to him is really a grown-up Yi-su?
It's a good drama, but I think the ending is a bit disappointing.
I am at episode 8 now and the scene where Yi Su is dying and asked Hyun Su to kill her dad for her made me cry.
She was evil on episode 7 because she was possessed by her father! It's not her!
- The slime is the monster version of Yeong-su after Yi-su converted him to one?
- Sang Won has managed to enter Yi-su's body, so now Yi-su is evil because her body is controlled by her father?
- So the Yi-su character herself is not evil? Not quite understand why many commenters here saying that Yi-su is evil. I love the character and the actress (Kim Si-a) dearly, I don't want to continue watching if her character is evil.
Spoilers are welcome!

One more episode to go!
Will binge-watch the last two episodes soon! So excited!

Can someone add it into the cast list? I can't add because she's new (this is her debut movie) so it's not yet in the database.
I am more interested in the Chinese lady who is dead but pretend to be alive to her daughter with the grandmother's disapproval. Their last scene in the airport when the woman AI confessed to her daughter that she's actually dead, and her last conversation with the grandmother moved me to tears
