hope is "journey of healing". after reading synopsis of the movie, i thought its going to be very painful to watch assuming it has more dramatised facts than reality. coz, i find it real hard to watch children suffering than anything. i cannot buy melancholy. but i was wrong and i regret keeping this on hold for long time. having said that, this story thankfully leaves gruesome details of crime aside. however we were made aware victim suffers physically. but its rather, more about aftermath of tragedy, which is neatly directed never being overboard. it possibly has dealt every thing that girl and family had to go through. starting from catching criminal, physical disability, emotional trauma, money issues, parents helplessness, community acceptance, recovering and living normal life. but what made it even more special is father - daughter relationship. her fathers character felt so dear to me, it touched my heart and made me feel evey ounce of what he did for her. Also girl had to disconnect from all older men including her father. later realises that it was her father who is being her secret guardian angel through out is so rewarding to watch. also her thoughts while recovering and slowly accepting reality is touching as well as bitter sweet for me. but what troubled me is actual case itself. ending is so agonising. i think all those who know about Nayoung case can figure it out. criminal judiciary system felt utterly crappy. also criminals words to her father were horrid. its worrying me to death. overall, movie is quite inspiring as well as heartwarming, with stellar performances by actors.
