Baby and Me


Another story about the life of single daddy. First, it's Rain in 'Sang Do Goes Back to School' and now here is 'Baby and Me'.
Joon Su's life changed when Woo Ram was left in his shopping cart when he did some grocery for the latter party in his house to celebrate his independence against his parents. Then, the life of a young single daddy started and it ain't easy.
What I like about this movie.
1. Off course it's the cuteness. The baby is cute, Geun-seok is cute. The pair make a good laugh itself. Geun Seok's role is very different from the one in 'Doremifasolasido.' In here, he portrays a irresponsible rich kid that suddenly must face the responsibility of being a dad. I like particular his acting towards the end of the movie. All the emotional roller-coaster and his dilemma of whether he should let go of Woo Ram or just follow his heart.
2. The storyline is not at all boring. It'll give you lots of laughs. Some funny moments are when Joon Su tried to hide Woo Ram inside the locker while he were in school. Or, when Joon Su left Woo Ram inside the train while he boarded off. But a drama is not a drama without touching moments too. Along the movie, Joon Su develop a bond with Woo Ram and it's hard to let go when the bond was that strong.
3. The message behind it. Teenage pregnancy is still not accepted in the society, but this is the reality and this movie reflect this issue behind the drama and comedy. It's hard having a kid to take care off while you're yourself still a kid. Going to school is tough. Looking for a job is even tougher. And, who will provide the food for the kid? The hardship that comes with is very challenging for a 19-year old kid. Especially if you're parents are not around, then you're on your own, Dude.
Overall, a cute and heart touching movie and definitely a must watch for Geun Seok's fans.
