A well done and rather heartwarming "in the light" watch

MDS is *fantastic* in this role, he seems sooooo real, wow acting! and KYK is as complex and fun as can be. I never saw him doing this blatantly flirty scenes yet. It was cute. KYK is definitely my #1 Korean actor, and on my list of top actors globally. I have not seen any role from him that was disappointing. They are all complex and have deep meanings and messages, and many are avant garde out of box and very thoughtful. I am very impressed with his art.

I really see no cliches in this movie... it is just a story .... i dont see tropes and tricks... it is just a story, it is what it is...

and it has comedy... LOTS lmao when MDS fainted when he met KYK, I was rolling with laughter ... there are so many comedic moments, it is hilarious ...
and crime thriller parts... and melodrama... and sad parts... and heartwarming parts... and yeah KYK got a complex role :) MDS is amazing in this drama, soooooo nailed it!!!!!

I am glad I watched this.

And I did research. It *is* possible that an adult gives a heart to a child, if for some reason the child has enough space in their chest cavity. It is possible that the child is large enough, or had an enlarged heart, etc. So yeah it IS possible

As for cliches ... what exactly are cliches?? a young policeman being duped by his sombe???? HEY THAT PLOT IS IN HEAVY CRIME THRILLERS TOO!!!!! HOW CAN IT BE CLICHE???
A young policeman, a simple guy in a small town where nothing really happens, very righteous and keen to work, all bubbly and freshly in love - btw such a great and fresh role of KYK - recently his roles are more and more and more complex...

DID anyone really expect this young bubbly policeman in love to be a suspicious person who expects the worst from his buddy??? and the police chief???? ... ? I wouldnt ... :)

PS - My original thoughts:
Ma Dong Seok - who is for fluffy roles/dramas/movies - with Kim Young Kwang - who is for complex deep roles/dramas/movies.... wth??? what comes out at the end... ? a rare fluffy piece by KYK??? I would never watch anything with MDS - lesson learned the hard way with kdrama The Twelve - but I might take a peek bc KYK is my the favorite kdrama actor. So I wanna see what he films when he wants some extra cash or just wants an easy fluff fun thing to film. This is my prejudicial opinion before watching this movie at all. Bc so far I havent found one role of KYK that was meaningless or shallow or simple. Maybe this movie will be the first :(

Oh boy it is so wonderful I was wrong!!!!
