I want to start by saying that this film was beautifully done. I was engrossed with the story from the moment it started and the actors did an amazing job portraying kids trapped in an adult body. Kang Dong Won (the actor, who played the 30-year-old orphan) managed to portray so many emotions: fear, confusion, guilt, depression, and acceptance. As the movie progressed, you find out how the "missing kids" have lived the whole time while they were "missing" while also watching how the families are looking for the same children. The movie projects two different times but focuses on the present and how Seong Min (orphan) and Soo Rin try to explain the disappearance of the other children and how she was the only one found in the mountains, where she and the other kids decided to play. It also showed how adults sometimes create a more "plausible" story rather than believing what a child says, even if it is the truth -- this is demonstrated when the officer goes to Soo Rin and tells her to lie to the public because even if he did believe what he saw/experience, it is not something that would be easily understood. In the end, Seong Min was willing to admit to the plausible story created in order to protect Soo Rin, the only friend he had and who believed him about what happened. SooRin of course did not allow it but he found the form to save her and continue to live the life he had, while SooRin continued to tell the truth despite others believing she was part of a bigger ploy.
