This movie can be said to be the first dog-themed movie in Korea. I have seen movies such as "Kidnapping the Doorstep Dog" that mentioned dogs, but they were not stories about people and dogs. As the main line, the story between people and dogs is used to show a simple and beautiful world without intrigues, and the dogs are only used as an auxiliary to intersperse the stories. "The Romance of Humans and Dogs" is a beautiful story that allows people to appreciate the innocent world of children and start to reflect on whether they are too philistine sometimes. You have to be careful even when making friends. Can friends understand and trust each other, and be tolerant when conflicts arise? Let's feel introspection in the film together!
