This film features a wonderful cast of actors like Ryoo Seung-bum who really made me into his fan after watching this film. He able to convey the emotions wonderfully and was able to show the character change slowly. All the supporting actors where interesting as well as they were able to make us believe in their characters. This film is truly a wonderful piece of work as it deals with a dark subject like Suicide and manages to make it work.
