Aroview: Tough and emotionally powerful drama, highlighted by fearless performances, which charts the romance between a recent parolee and a cerebral palsy-afflicted young woman.

After serving a sentence for drunk-driving and manslaughter, Kyung-gu is released from prison and finds himself a perpetual 'square-peg' in almost every social situation. Somehow he strikes up an unlikely romance with his victim's disabled daughter, much to the disgust and anger of both respective families. Resonant statement on outsider psychology, this is yet another small triumph for South Korean cinema
