SYNOPSIS
“Please don’t poo at home!” Gum Bun’s one word puts Ji Woong at a loss. Gum Bun, an old lady who’s lived alone all her life, and Ji Woong, a young college student who’s ready to do anything to earn money, now have to live together following a government initiated “Saving Rent Project with Elderly Living Alone”. Living with someone else is not an easy task for anybody, and it becomes even more challenging when it comes to a seventy-year-old lady and a young male college student.
“Loveable veteran actress Na Moon-hee practically carries the film on her two aged but nonetheless strong shoulders…. She has played this role of a grumpy ajhumma a few times now, but just like Ma Dong-seok’s hardman act, it is one that you cannot tire of seeing.” Rhythm Zaveri, asianmoviepulse.com
