Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for anyone who's ever talked to their pet and anyone in the mood for a love story. An animal steals a fair few scenes.
The mood
Warm and romantic.
The pace
Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 2 hr 3 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in Korean, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if romance makes you roll your eyes.

The daughter of a poor rancher, Si-eun's only hope is to one day, become a jockey. With her mother passing away at her birth, her favorite horse, Chun-doong, has become not only her friend, but also a soul mate. She is devastated when Chun-doong is sold to another owner, but when they are reunited two years later they have a chance to create a miracle by teaming up in a race.
