So, 'My Boy' is this quiet drama that really digs into the complexities of family and mental health. You’ve got Icheon, who’s stuck in a hospital with his impulse disorder, and his fantasies about his brother Yucheon are just... bittersweet. It’s definitely not your typical approach to storytelling. The atmosphere is heavy, almost suffocating, which I find fitting given the context. The performances, particularly from the actors portraying the family, feel genuine and raw, and that adds a layer of sincerity. I think the pacing is deliberate - it lets you sit with the characters' struggles, which can be both uncomfortable and powerful. It’s the kind of film that lingers with you long after the credits roll, making you think about family bonds and the unseen battles people face every day.
