About
You may like this if you want a message-driven drama about social injustice and family choices, with a serious tone over thrills; Not for you if you want fast pacing, light entertainment, or a purely escapist watch.
Pros: important social message; sincere intentions; decent performances | Cons: slow pace; feels like documentary; uneven music
