Han Gong Ju is a high school student. The movie starts with Gong Ju being transferred to another school. The reason seems to be unknown. Her previous homeroom teacher, Mr. Lee, is helping her with enrolment at the new school. He also pleads his mother, who lives close to the new school, to let Gong Ju stay with her for a week. The mother hesitates. Back in her hometown, an investigation is taking place. The movie discusses pain, growth, friendship, broken families and above all - survival. Here is a trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsQyHhusuP4 I would recommend anyone who is easily triggered by violence to read some comments and reviews on the movie before watching it. I will have a spoiler at the end of the commentary if you want to know about the triggering topic discussed in the movie.

I think it was extremely well put. It was pleasing to the eyes and if you search for gifs from the movie on tumblr, you’ll see how gorgeous the scenery was. This was an independent movie, but gained a lot of attention and the main lead, Chun Woo Hee, who portrayed Han Gong Ju, won Best Actress at the 35th Blue Dragon Film Awards. She has also won several other awards. She is now a much anticipated actress and recently came back to the big screen with Cart, which I also watched and enjoyed quite a bit. I have never watched anything as raw and devastating as Han Gong Ju. Gong Ju is a fragile character and does not trust people easily. Chun Woo Hee did an excellent job at portraying such a scared and vulnerable human being. I also found Kim Hyun Joon's acting to be very realistic. Min Ho is not a character you want to be around and I have so much rage in my heart because of him. Eun Hee (Jung In Sun) was a friend Gong Ju needed. MUSIC Gong Ju shows an interest in music throughout the movie and I loved the one song she sang. I'm currently listening to it as well. Woo Hee has a very sweet and mellow voice. REWATCH VALUE The rewatch value needs to a bit lower as there is a lot to take in here. The movie is based on the well known Milyang junior high school case: http://netizenbuzz.blogspot.no/2014/12/pann-movie-han-gong-ju-scandal-based.html Watch with English subtitles: http://myasiantv.com/movie/han-gong-ju/
