Program Note

The film appears to be a tale about a fairy helping the female protagonist who is struggling to find a job. It is actually a comedy for adults with a male fairy. The funny and yet sad situation of the fairy having a hard time in his role evokes sympathy, and comic acting is worthy of note. (CHANG Hyun-sang)
