God's Gift - 14 Days

There's so much I want to say, but somehow I ran out of words with all the excitement. In short, it's a suspenseful series with a touch of crime that grabs the viewer and doesn't let go. And if you're one of those people who sometimes cries at movies, chances are there will be tears too. Like the script, the cast is strong. Yoo-bin Kim, who portrayed little Saet-byul, was absolutely amazing. At times, I couldn't understand how she could act so well at her age. Bo-yeong Lee as her mom was again at last a heroine that I could completely empathize with and whose actions I could fully understand. Not to mention Seung-woo Jo as Dong-chan, and his brother and nephew, who weren’t far off. I really salute their performances, because not everyone can play a mentally challenged person so convincingly. Goo Shin had a smaller role here, but even so I was reassured that he is an incredibly charismatic actor, and after his role as the grandfather in Thank You he continues to have a place in my heart. So in summary, God's Gift is simply one of those films you MUST see. And the negatives? The ending wasn't quite to my liking, and for the first time in a long time, I thought they could easily have thrown in at least one more episode. But I have a vivid imagination, so I interpreted the finale in my own way and I'm satisfied. Almost a full 5 stars. (11/12/2014)
