I found this movie to be very insightful as to the various responses by the characters. If one watches carefully the character development is quite good. As the movie progresses each character becomes a sort of display of the weaknesses or strengths of who they already are. This was well done I thought. The characters also start to examine themselves for their various reactions. This is especially true of Amanda who comes to realize that her responses come from her own experiences and become completely unhelpful in the circumstances. Watching this movie for an expectation to a complete ending will certainly disappoint. Actually I loved the ending because it displays the essential makeup of Rosie. As expected of a 13 year old child she is only consumed with her own comfort and enjoyment, lacking the maturity to see beyond it. So the essence that I enjoyed from beginning to end is the effect the apocalyptic circumstance has on ordinary people.

Kim Yoo Jung is so adorable in this movie, as she is in everything I have seen. It is an interesting story. I usually don't like these period dramas that are so completely fantasy. I had to be persuaded to watch it and I am glad I did. Ahn Hyo-seop and Gong Myung were also delightful. The drama had just the right amount of comic relief, and not too much, as is true of some K-Drama TV shows.
