A fine little drama

This fairly low-key drama that follows the lives of a group of young girls after they graduate from high school is well-crafted and affecting. The IMDB stats confirm what is only to be expected: namely that you will especially love this film if you're a twenty-something female.Incidentally, the average standard of Korean film amazingly high. My own policy is that any time I get the chance to see a Korean film, I do so. Regardless of whether it is a thriller or a comedy or a drama, I'm rarely disappointed - what is on offer is often excellent, and scarcely ever less than okay.

Great movie!

For anyone that has been out of high school for more than ten years can relate to this movie. It tells of five friends who were close in high school, but begin to drift apart immediately upon graduation.Like all friends, there is one in the group who tries hard, against all odds, of keeping the cluster of friends together, but in vain. The girls personalities and ambitions are different, from the corporate wanna-be, to the emotionally troubled artist. This is rated a buy. Watch it once and think about it on more than one level and you will be well rewarded. The cat is the one factor in the end that unites them all because the cat is eventually passed to each girl as the group dissolves.

Good story, quite subtle remarks on women in korea

This movie works on two levels, basically the story that happens and also as a subtle progressive social commentary about the state of korea and how women are somewhat confined and the "minor" injustices they face all the time. I wouldn't go so far as to call it feminist because what alot of the movie is dealing with is just the basic struggle for existence, and how each of the girls can fit into the world somehow.The story at first begins somewhat boring as its unclear what the purposes of the movie are, but around 20 minutes into the movie when Hye-ju rejects JiYoung's gift of the cat, and then later fails to meet her on time at a restaurant, it is clear that the movie is finally starting to move with its plot in some noticeable direction. And the way it does so is very smooth and well directed you slowly become immersed in the intricate details of thier world, which is a fundamental quality of a of a good movie. As a drama, it does its job of immersing the viewer in the emotions of its characters. I think it is a definitely progressive style drama as many other coming of age styled dramas are, and is enjoyable to watch throughout because you are always getting a realistic look at modern korean life as the story moves. Worth watching!
