I LOVE DADDY!


Oh what a hoot this film was!

The little girl who played Yeoung-Ju, frightened me to the core. What would she do next? Throw her toys around? Hit her mum? Try to snog her Dad? Yes, that was the one. How unexpectadly expected...

My friend turned to me after that scene, and inquired "How much do you think she got paid to do that?" My only hope is enough to cover all the legal fees, and psychiatric councelling poor thing.

As for the rest of the film, I didn't really get it...there were some characters that seemed to have been thrown in to make up the numbers, and Yeoung-Ju's Dad just confused me. In fact I think all of the time I was looking at his very square jaw.

So yeah, if anyone can be bothered to go through this film with me (taking care not to skip over the I Love Daddy part) I shall be here, waiting peacefully, whilst I block out my ever-ringing phone.

Thankyou and goodnight.

i watched this last night and was pleasantly surprised (and actually scared) by this film.

the little girl was easily the best part. how the hell did she contort her face like that?!

I love when she's reading "Snow White" to her dozing mother. "And they lived happily ever after" and then her face scrunches up. "yeah right, sh*t. this is sh*t. no wonder we have stupid little princesses running around!"

i agree that some of the film (especially the first half) was rather confusing. what, specifically, didn't you get? not sure I can help, because I'm sure lots went over my head, but I can try.


I suppose you think I'm going insane just to be fashionable.

The little girl doesn't say sh*t in Korean. I don't know why they put that word in the subtitle. She doesn't even say anything remotely close to the word sh*t, but dunno why that particular word is there. Matter of fact, I found some mistranslation in some of the subtitles.

As to "how that little girl could contort her face"...well, there are a lot of young korean little girls who can give that unique dirty look and act quite well when their mommies tell them to. LOL

She says "yeah right! Nonsense!"

She was possessed by her daddy's young lover's spirit

Towards the end of the film, I got confused. What happened to Yeong-Ju? Did she survive or what?

Stan: Oh, My God?! We Killed Kenny!!
Kyle: We're Bastards!

:::::possible SPOILER::::

I don't know about the end. I assume that Ji-won just threw the phone away in the ocean and raised Yeong-Ju on her own.

As for not getting the movie....I would suggest reading some other threads and see if you get anything from them, if not, I would be glad to try to explain. I don't know if I understood everything, but I could try.
Mostly I guess that the little girl says she loves her daddy b/c she is confused with the feelings she has mixed with the possible "possession" of Jin-hee. And since Jin-hee was in love with the dad, then yeong-Ju thinks that she loves her daddy that way. Or something like that.

Yeong-ju was dead. When they showed her fall to down the staircase towards the end of the film, that was supposed to show the similarities between her own death and the death of Jin-hee. Everyone except Ji-won dies, because Jin-hee is a 'vengeful ghost', as Ji-won states to Ho-jeong.

I think that Jin-hee wanted Ho-jeong to abort her baby, just as Ho-jeong demanded of Jin-hee. It just so happened that Yeong-ju was older.

That was my take on it, anyway.

lmao! contort.

No where during the movie does it show that Yeong-ju died. She fell down the stairs and then we see her in the hospital...

reply

I assumed that Yeong Ju lived with the main character (forget her name).
