A young woman named Hwang Jeong-nam (Park Bo-young) sent stories about her being a single mother to the radio station Hyeon-soo worked at, telling him she is going to meet her father. When he finds out that he is the father of Jeong-nam when she comes to his apartment with her son Ki-Dong (Wang Seok-hyeon). He also finds out that Jeong-nam was his first love&#8217;s name and the other Jeong-nam&#8217;s real name is Jae-in. Jae-in and her son, Ki-dong.<\/p>\n<p>My thoughts: This is a cute and funny movie with one of the most adorable child stars I&#8217;ve seen in a while. Seriously, Wang Seok-hyeon is great as 6-year-old Ki-dong.<\/p>\n<p>There are some touching moments, some slightly cringe-worthy moments, but mostly this is a fun and heartwarming movie.<\/p>\n<p>One of the best scenes: When they&#8217;re in the police station. That was good.<\/p>\n<p>* * *<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"512\" height=\"288\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hulu.com\/embed.html?eid=blaqvzfwdghwjlcuwz6dow&#038;et=6500&#038;st=0&#038;it=i6528\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>If the video does not display, watch on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hulu.com\/watch\/569637\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hulu<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Or watch it on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B00I6LKK6Y\/?tag=harperkingsley-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a>.
