Program Note
Jiho likes his stepfather, but their relationship is not that comfortable. It’s not easy to be completely honest or to express affection freely. The dilemma and concerns that arise when the desire to care for someone cannot be fully conveyed, due to circumstances and reality, add warmth to the film. The efforts made toward each other and the courage to approach becoming a family are portrayed convincingly through the film’s storytelling, direction, and the actors’ nuanced performances, which shine brightly.
