The plot:
Nam Hyeon-soo is a former teen-idol, now living the good life, seemingly perfect. He works as a radio host and tells a 22 year-old young single woman who has a young child to go and meet the father she never met who made her own mother pregnant when he was in his third year of highschool.
Who knew that the careless third year is none other than Nam Hyeon-soo himself. When Huang Jung-nam, the young single mother shows up at his doorstep, his life is turned upside-down. In his thirties, he suddenly becomes father to a 22 year-old and AND a grandfather. What are the odds? While trying to keep the rest of the world turning his sticky situation into a scandal, he finds himself getting attached to his daughter and grandson, as much as he hates to admit it.
The verdict:
This movie is HILarious. I replayed SO many parts like 10 times each. Cha Tae-hyun does a smashing job as Hyun-soo. His expressions are so funny. I love the bittersweet relationship Hyun-soo forms with his grandson and daughter. The daughter is sarcastic and funny, and her own love story is impossibly sweet although complicated. She sings great in the movie too (I wonder if it really was her singing...sure hope so, even though it looks fake -.-) The grandson is SO CUTE!!!! His sleepwalking scenes are freaky but made me laugh so hard! Like many Korean comedies, there is a part of the movie in which things get serious, but it all ends happily, DUH. The story is rather unbelievable, but do I care? HECK no. Why? Cause it just works sooooooooooooooooo well. I love this movie so much it's my second time watching it ^^
Rating:
4/5
