What might put you off
  • It's in Korean, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.

Two brothers were separated in childhood at an orphanage, only to find each other as adults 30 years later. But right after their reunion, their birth mother, who suffers from Alzheimer's disease, suddenly disappears. So Sang-yeon and Ha-yeon team up together and go on a road trip to search for her.
