Review
Yeay! I'm back.. kekeke.. This review is made by poe_rea, it's really hard to reviewing this movie. I'm really focused when i watched this movie^^
The movie started with Heo Joon Seok commited suicide. Than Gang Do (Lee Jung Jin) who works as enforcer for a loan shark daily life appears. He threatening people to pay their interest payment. One day, Mi Son (Jo Min Su) appears. She is following Gang Do every where, and said he can't threatened people like that. She kneeling and told him to stop, she said she is his mom. Gang Do think she is crazy. But Mi Son keep following him.
Gang Do allowed Mi Son life at his place. Mi Son cooking for him, and she is knitting a sweater too. Gang Do thing that Mi Son makes that sweater for him, but Mi Son never give the sweater to him. Gang Do start to feel that Mi Son is his mother. They go to a place for planting a tree.
One day, Gang Do watering the tree. Suddenly, he got a phone call and heard his mom screaming. He is running away and found that his mom is missing. He tried to find Mi Son. He received a picture of abandoned building, he run to that place. He saw her mother. Mi Son screaming and crying. Gang Do kneeling and said don't hurt Mi Son. Mi Son jumped from the building and died.
Gang Do burried Mi Son, while he digging he found a man corpse using his mother sweater. He take the sweater and use it. Gang Do is in deep sorrow and commit suicide.
So sad, every body is died, i means the protagonist. I think is a dark movie, because it's not a happy ending movie. I'm addicted to a happy ending movie^^ It's a great movie. Emphaty for Gang Do, because i think he really need a mother role in his life. Well, wait for another movie that i will review. Enjoy to watch this movie^^

Introduction Tteokbokki, also known as ddeokbokki, topokki (in Japan) or dukboki is a popular Korean snack food which is commonly purchased from street vendors or pojangmacha. Originally it was called tteok jjim (떡찜), and was a braised dish of sliced rice cake, meat, eggs and seasoning. History Tteokbokki is a traditional Korean street food which can be usually purchased from street vendors also called 'pojangmacha' in Korean. The history of tteokbokki brings us back to the late Joseon dynasty. There are many hypotheses and controversy about its real origin.

Tteokbo...

Changdeokgung Palace - 창덕궁

Introduction Changdeokgung Palace was the second royal villa built following the construction of Gyeokbukgung Palace in 1405. It was the principal palace for many of the Joseon kings and is the most well-preserved of the five remaining royal Joseon palace. The palace grounds are comprised of a public palace area, a royal family residence building, and the rear garden. Known as a place of rest for the kings, the rear garden boasts a gigantic tree that is over 300 years old, a small pond, and a pavilion. The palace gained in importance starting from the time of 9th king of Joseon, Seongjong, when a number of kings began using it as a place of residence. Unfortunately, the palace was burned down by angry citizens in 1592 when the royal family fled their abode during the Japanese Invasion of Korea. Thanks to Gwanghaegun, the palace was restored in 1611. Even today, it holds a number of cultural treasures such as Injeongjeon Hall, Daejojeon Hall, Seonjeongjeon Hall, and Nakseonjae. Ch...
