Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

1. you'll definitely cry 2. so-i is an outstanding child actress 3. superb chemistry between characters 4. a 3 year old girl living with immature brother in a cruel world 5. i hope Indian film industry learn few things from Korean industrymust watch 100% entertainmenti felt there was a scene where boy bought ice cream for her little sister and he ran all the way to home from school because of bus fare was taken from the Korean movie the way home 2002 with same child actor Seung-ho Yoo as a child actor where his granny walks to her home from some other town because of bus fare after buying snacks and batteries to him.emotional journey throughout the movie, first when the sister was unhappy because of melted ice then the way she put makeup on her dog, she waits for her brother at bus stop, she wets her bed and blames the dog, her drawing which was showed at the end, the way girl spends her time with dog when her brother is in school, when she cries for her mother and he shouts at her, the comedy scene of hair wash and chilly powder scene, i cant watch the scene where she dies. then in comes second part of story,dog follows master, the train scene where he begs for money is outstanding then movie becomes much more emotional. i cant forget that last scene, so wonderfully written,acted and captured on screen. at the end i was hoping either the boy dies or his sister is alive somehow,. but ending was just awesome. this movie will be in my top 10 list along with grave of fireflies, miracle in cell no. 7, barefoot gen and other with similar emotional movies.

"Hearty Paws" feels like a sweet, heart touching tale of a bond between a brother, sister and their pet dog. At certain level, the film succeeds in bringing its emotions. But at the same time, there is much of unpleasantness and meanness in the story which doesn't make it a favorable watch. Only in few reels the film sticks to its main theme of portraying the bond between the dog and boy and entertains through the activities of the dog. Rest of the film meanders into the unpleasantness sequences of gangsters, cruelty involving animals and orphans which highly declines the movie into an average, forgettable film.Rating: 1 star out of 4

This is the first review for any movie I have written.The movie was given by my friend and it completely blowed me away. This is the second Korean movie after oldboy.. and this is the best drama movie i have ever seen. After watching the movie I was surprised to see only 170 or so votes and just 7.4. Highly Underrated in my opinion. This movie is a gem and deserves to be in the top 250. The director has done a great job of showcasing everything in a very natural way in his debut movie.Hope he takes a lot of movies in the future. As a dog owner I was really moved in a lot of scenes. I guess slumdog millionaire has copied a little from this story.Watch the movie with a handkerchief nearby.

I agree with the other reviewers, this movie is SOOOOO underrated. No movie has moved me to the extent where I would finish the movie in red, blabbering mess. This movie was amazing!!!This movie's plot is amazing! All the actors are simply excellent, and everything was well presented. Especially the main characters, the boy, Yu Seung Woo, what amazing talent from a young age. Even the dog was beautifully trained and made me laugh, smile, cry, cry a little more and swear that dogs are truly, a man's best friend. Anyone who loves dog must definitely watch this. So excellent. Please trust me and watch it! It will make your day. or Week. Or month. really.
