In the realm of Korean melodrama, this movie established Son Ye-jin as the ‘Queen of Pure Melodrama.’ Director Kwak Jae-yong, who previously discovered Gianna Jun in My Sassy Girl (2001), found a new muse in Son Ye-jin. She masterfully plays dual roles: Ji-hye, a college student in love with her theater club senior, Sang-min (Zo Insung), and her mother, Ju-hie, when she experienced her first love and looked just like Ji-hye.
