A gentle, quiet and a bit underwhelming film about a reserved, withdrawn and somewhat stubborn 28-year-old woman, Eriko, who is in a deep personal crisis, estranged from her family and emotional distant from her lazy live-in boyfriend.
When her sister suddenly dies, leaving her fatherless only son behind, this so-called actress with only one paying gig in her 'career'of 10 years, who bluffs her way through life and relationships and can't even cry fake tears, decides to work as a nakiya (a professional mourner at funerals) and act as a substitute mom for her nephew.
Through this pretender’s adventure in pretending, she realizes that she might have to readjust her path in life and decides to make something of herself and re-discover herself in the process.

One of the best adaptations of a successful movie I've watched!
This film is based on the the acclaimed romantic movie "The Classic" and it has many similarities with the original version, but also many new elements, making the plot flow smooth and interesting. Beautiful cinematography, charming performances and cute chemistry were a plus.

Heartwarming, cute, with lots of touching and funny moments.

The story of an unusual family of a lonely grandmother and two granddaughters, their struggle to adjust to living together and taking care of each other and their bonding, although facing lots of adversity, social and health issues.

Inspired by a famous ghost story in Japan, it's a classic romantic, but also eerie and grim, story about everlasting love, hatred and revenge.

This 4 episodes mini series tells the story of a young man falling in love with the spirit of a beautiful young woman, the story of a young man and his quest to avenge his deceased master, without knowing that he slayed his father in his younger days, and the story of a wicked mistress plotting to takeover her master's home with the help of her secret lover.

Excellent cinematography, elegant costumes, music perfectly fitting to the atmosphere and top-notch performances. Definitely captivating, but not for everyone...

Thanks again @HPriest for subbing this :)

Complicated but intriguing story with impressive, well-written plot.
Greg Hsu caught my attention in 'Q Series: Love of Sandstorm' and here, both he and Alice Ke did a fantastic job!

Funny and lighthearted politics satire with brilliant acting from Ra Mi Ran, who is the soul and spotlight of this movie.
With her natural acting, unique charm, witty and flavorful humor she successfully demonstrated her potential as a one-top lead actress.
In fact, Honest Candidate could be brought to life and be comfortably enjoyed only due to Ra Mi Ran's presence, as well as the full support and good teamwork of Kim Moo Yeol & Yoon Kyung Ho.

Thanks for sharing

Heartwarming, inspiring stories of unrequited love, beautifully performed by a talented cast.

A slow paced character-centered story, with a subtle but layered performance from a phenomenal Choi Woo Sik!

Funny and light political satire with a competent cast that managed to deliver an entertaining outcome.

Tanaka Kei with his zany mannerisms was once more a pure pleasure to watch!
A satisfying closure for the cutest couple, Haruta and Maki.

Historical roles fit Kuroki Haru perfectly well! She really shines in this.
Heartwarming, smooth, affectionate story, elegant cinematography, a pleasant culinary and historical ride!

Knowing that there are people who feel and think the same is kind of reassuring XD

Not even PSH can stop me from watching this!

Beautiful outcome! So glad I was part of it!
❤❤❤

;-D

That's not necessarily bad! Perhaps they feel like you deserve the title more that some 'real' professors <3

Then, you're a better person than me...

On the contrary, I really enjoyed their surprise and awkwardness in cases like this, but you'll see what I mean when they'll politely call you 'mister' some day ;)
