Amazing performance by that young girl

Rating: 8/10 (11 June 2017)

The movie itself was pretty good. It felt almost like an old Irwin Allen disaster movie like The Towering Inferno or The Poseidon Adventure, with disparate groups of people being confined to a location or set piece where they have to confront and overcome adversity.
But what stood out most to me was the performance by Kim Su-an who played the little girl Soo-an. In my view, the Korean acting style can at times be a bit theatrical or melodramatic. But not one beat of Kim Su-an's performance felt false. It was dramatic and emotional without crossing the line into melodrama or schmaltz. Very impressive for an actress who must have been around 9-10 years old or so when the movie was produced.
