I really, really liked her. I thought she exuded so much charm and I found myself smiling at a lot of the little (yet believable and motherly) things she did, such as when she covered up the pee on the wall with that metal pan, and when she stamped out the pee stain on the sidewalk.

I agree. I was charmed by the mother's character, as well. This older actress is very convincing in her role. And I, being a mother of a young boy, know personally the strong bond that develops between a mother and her son. I would have done the same for my son, had I been in a similar predicament. Kudos to this actress. Any character that can evoke this much pathos in its audience deserves to be praised in my book. Also, I am American by birth, but my mother is originally from Korea (my father being American, mostly of Irish descent) and there were many cultural nuances that I picked up on that would only be present in a Korean mother's behavior, although the dynamics between the mother-son relationship is a universal one. There were many humorous moments in this film, as well. Oh, and the cinematography was amazing! Well done.
