The acting is Oscar worthy, the lead actor Kim Yeo-jin is of a top calibre, he has a range of emotions and is believable with each one. When he laughs you feel his happiness, when he cries you feel his sadness...a performance to behold.

Overall: Peppermint Candy is a great movie, in the first quarter it feels a tad slow but for the remainder of the movie you'll be sucked in.
Brilliant performances in a brilliantly written and brilliantly directed production makes Peppermint Candy one of those must see movies.
Brilliant!
