A Little Princess

What a warm and touching story. This drama teaches us the meaning of family. I’m impressed by both the story and the cast’s acting. For me, it’s a must-watch!

It tells the story of a 72-year-old woman, Mal Soon (Na Moon Hee), whose life suddenly changes when a 12-year-old girl, Gong Joo (Kim Soo Ahn), and her baby sister come to her house. Gong Joo claims she is Mal Soon’s granddaughter.

Mal Soon accepts the two children, and they begin living together, forming a happy family. However, challenges arise when Gong Joo’s sister is diagnosed with hemophilia. With only Mal Soon’s limited income, they live in difficult circumstances. Later, Mal Soon is also diagnosed with dementia.

Watching them struggle, especially the young Gong Joo at only 12 years old, moved me to tears. Their conversations as grandmother and granddaughter are ones I listened to intently.

I believe that living with Gong Joo and her baby sister brings a new sense of purpose and meaning to Mal Soon’s life, touching something deep within her heart. I appreciate that this drama not only makes us cry but also brings some lighthearted moments. Gong Joo is endearing, and she has a very kind-hearted friend, Woo Ram (Lim Han Bin), a sweet little boy who always stands by her side. Her school friends also add to the entertainment.

Choi Soo Young also appears in this movie, playing Gong Joo as an adult.
