*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

This is quite good film.

"My father" is a true story. actually American couple adopted a boy in Korea and took him to their own country. (the boy's name is James Paker in movie, but real character's name is aron baits)

The boy grew up to go back Korea to find his parents. and soon he met his father, who was condemned criminal and his mother had already passed away. but he wasn't disappointed and supported his father in jail.

but the condemned criminal is not his real father. (by genetic test, he noticed this fact)

It is more amazing that he have kept visiting his father since the fact was disclosed

in this movie, the condemned criminal is not his real father but "My father" for James Paker
