wow. i dont understand korean, but after knowing what the plot was, I totally cried during the trailer just now too. so often we dont appreciate our mothers and what they do for us, just writing them off as exasperating and annoying...

JB: a week ago, i 'd perhaps have said the same. some months ago, i learnt someone I knew well (a young mother of 3) from long ago had Stage 4 cancer. she is only 37, 38 or so, at most. a very successful woman. a filial daughter, a doting hands-on mom and supportive wife; and juggling a list of successful career achievements behind her to boot. super-woman.

someone i really respected and admired because she was mature and grounded way beyond her 20-something years, when we were still in touch. since I heard about her 'recent' illness from another source, i had no idea how she had really been.

stumbled upon her Facebook page and blog some days ago ... and the flood of tears came on non-stop. my heart remains very heavy whenever i think of her. especially upon reading her thoughts on the young children she will be leaving behind, the parents she is such a good daughter to.

it's been a much longer journey and very hard fought battle; and she is coping with so much optimistic fortitude to the cruel roller-coaster ride and her prognosis, and being an super-exemplary role model to her children.

Cancer may be over-wrought K-melodramatic, but it can also be very very real for too many people. Jang Jin Young (among 3 others I know) is another stoic soul who comes to mind.

Sorry to digress.

I was wondering how someone could cry just because of a 2min clip, until I watched it and had to wipe the tears from my eyes. Gosh this looks good.

My tears are literally falling. My mom is far away from me and I miss her so. Having children of my own, this just hit close to home because this scenario is what I feared most. I have my well health check up tomorrow and I really think am so healthy but I better be sure. Thanks for this Javabeans...

The trailer made me cry. I'm sold. Watching this with my mom when it comes out.

agree , K drama is always fascinating with cancer , car accident , brain tumor ...then
dying for first love , turn to psychotic for unhappy past , living in the past , not in the present . feel sorry for themselves for the past mistake , carrying somebody else garbage .... can they change topic , more realistic , more inspiring , more meaning , more interesting .

The illnesses are over used but it still hits the heart.

Wow they really look like mother and daughter, not just the chemistry but the looks as well in the first picture O.O.

& yes I cried too ):

Couldn't help my tears :( The two actresses are so great!

wow - i loved the chemistry between the two!! as so many have said before...

i also liked being able to see kim hae sook play the not-so-elegant mother. usually she has this prim and/or gentle image, and i enjoy seeing her being more loudmouthed and irritating, like a REAL mother.

I was interested in this because of the two lead actresses until I saw the word 'cancer' involved. Have had too many cancer scares with loved ones in real life that anything that has to do with cancer makes my stomach churn. I'll just look forward to watching PJH in Giant and continue watching Kim Hae sook in Life is Beautiful.

LOL I love Kim Hae-sook as the loud mouthed mother too! Seen her in Oh Pil Seung & Bong Soon Young and Good Job as one.

She is indeed Korea's Mother. lol. I always see her as the mother of Hallyu stars. She's a very good actress. *thumbs up*

I totally cried too because the whole setup in the beginning portrayed so well the relationship between a mother and daughter that is full of love and hate.

Dang, this reminds me of the time I made my mom watch Joy Luck Club with me. Moms and daughters - bawling time.

Like everyone else... I totally cried watching this 2 min short video. Being a mom and a daughter, I totally understand both. Like Auntie Mame said "at least she had 3 days , 2 nights" with her mom. Sometimes, the people we love is not here any more in a blink of an eye.

Totally cried... mwah... I like the chemistry... Kim Hae Sook... I love strong mature roles she takes and Park Jin Hee is really effective here too... and its just a trailer but I am sold...
Watch this earlier to check out some OST...

But somehow reminds me of Tokyo Tower(Odagiri Jo FTW!) from a woman's perspective and the one with cancer is the child instead of the mom... Maybe its the changing leaves color that make it seems similar...

i really want to see this now. losing a love one is heart breaking, i should know. i love you mom, your my hero. Shine your light on me. (:

any story with mom in it makes me cry....sniff..this looks really good..

i watched the trailer 3 times, and i cried 3 times, i want to watch this!!!

i'm not watching the trailer. cause i ain't crying. not at work. :P

i love kim hae sook. i think she's the most versatile actress. she can act brash, evil, kind, gentle. LOVE.

Korea's Mom indeed! :D

But dang, I'm curious. *clickety-click

watched.

even if i don't understand korean, this makes me want to cry already.

MUST WATCH! <3

I teared. DAMMIT. Stop manipulating me korean movies!

@2: I don't think JB meant it in a negative manner. It's just that Korea (though it got better) definitely has a habit of bringing cancer into movie and drama plots. And often, they're not to explore the troubles and hardships of cancer; it's almost like it's just for the sake of being sad. Also, the plot has been used so much that it's now become cliche and tired, especially because not many dramas actually explore it in a new way.

That being said, the trailer looks really good :) Even if it's a cancer story, if it's well down, I'm willing! :D

Returned again.

Watched the trailer. Made me cry. I just love Kim Hae-sook.

"She’s lucky that she was able to have the 3 days, 2 nights trip with her mom.

Some of us never got the chance…"

Your words totally tear me up. One of the biggest regrets in my life is exactly that. I always thought "I'd do it with my mom one day when I am free" but life is not something we can plan. Treasure your love ones when you can before it is too late.

I will definitely watch out for this movie, especially when I love both Kim Hae-sook and Park Jin-hee.

Okay I don't understand Korean but I totally cried watching that trailer. It's my Mom's birthday today and she's halfway across the continent. It's her first birthday that I am not there celebrating with her. AHHHH getting homesick now =(
