Next day when she came to the same place where her son was washed away, she found his dead body a few miles away. Jung-yeon (Lee Young-ae) has been searching relentlessly for her son since he disappeared six years ago. One day, she suddenly receives an anonymous tip-off about his whereabouts that leads her to a fishing village.
Lee Young-ae's performing skills really tell that she's a good actress! Felt like it could have been much better if the plot were altered. In 'Bring Me Home', she plays a mother whose child has been kidnapped for years.

At no point in the film did I see the actress, I saw the character in her heartbroken state, and I couldn't look away. There were moments that I would change, as the tone shifts back and forth throughout the film, but it didn't negatively impact my experience enough to write this one off. I would recommend it to anyone interested in a slow-burn rollercoaster of Korean cinema. “Bring Me Home” is both a bleak and slow film with a strong message about human suffering, particularly in the sacrifices mothers make for their children. The pace picks up near the end during the showdown between Jung-yeon and the bad cop; it’s quite suspenseful and thrilling to watch. However, it is also emotionally depressing and lacks humor; the tear-jerking experience is too predictable, making it less mesmerizing while it tries to pull your heart strings.
It can also lead to some people having information for you and some that don't. It may lead to people close to you, trying to exploit that situation. There are many social messages and critiques and commentary the movie is giving us. Still it is all in the name of tension and "entertainment".

A heart-wrenching story of a mother's unbending search for her missing son. I won't deny that many happenings were predictable, but few bold gasping-worth moments took me by surprise (the main reason I rated this 8.5). At some point, I thought it was going to turn into a revenge story, which is tempting, but thankfully enough didn't happen. The movie instead gave a message that hope is one thing that a mother should never give up on for her child, just as the movie title suggests "Please Find Me".
Some of us might have seen a missing kid, but not realized it is. It's not like all of us have a databank that we can see and check up on. Then again, maybe the movie will make you more aware ... Make up your own mind and in the meantime watch this, probably on the edge of your seat - not meant literally, but it does have some situations where that might happen.

Although she’s in mourning, drowned in despair for her losses, she doesn’t give up. Just when everything feels like it’s in vain, she hears about a young boy living in a fishing community outside the city who seems to resemble her lost son. Facing strange surroundings and corrupt cops covering up child abuse, Jung-yeon may not be able to handle all the obstacles in her way, let alone fend for herself. Although she's in mourning, drowned in despair for her losses, she doesn't give up. Just when everything feels like it's in vain, she hears about a young boy living in a fishing community outside the city who seems to resemble her lost son. Six years after her son went missing, dedicated mother Jung-Yeon still hasn't lost hope, even after her husband's shocking accident while rushing to follow up on a potential sighting.
So you won't feel like the movie is lecturing you. It debuted in the Discovery program of 2019 Toronto International Film Festival. Sales remained strong with 3.34 million tickets sold while the domestic industry was once again on the defensive, claiming just 18% of those. Following last weekend’s massive debut, which represented...
Another comparison is my lust for her in action mode, and my crush on her as she sat in silence recording the sounds of nature. Still you might feel inclined to change some of your thinking and ways after seeing this. It's not easy to digest and it is even tougher to keep track of missing kids.
Movie-goers looking for fact-paced action or feel-good drama will not find it here with “Bring Me Home”. The film delivers instead a tear-jerking experience, particularly if you have children of your own, or love children. It riles up one’s parental instincts and makes you empathise with Jung Yeon, even if she does make questionable choices at times. Actress Lee Young Ae stars as Jung Yeon, a mother whose child has been missing for six years. She and her husband Myeong Guk have been searching tirelessly for their son throughout the country since he disappeared at a playground. One day, she receives an anonymous tip-off regarding her son’s whereabouts.
Despite the slow-burn pacing of the plot, I found myself gripped from start to finish, several moments in particular leaving me frustrated in the best way. Lee Young-ae portrays the mother of a missing child, her state being practically catatonic for the majority of the film. I can see how some might find this tiresome, but the emotion that bleeds through had me captivated.
It has been proven that the pain, the struggle with guilt and hope, does not stop in the years and decades that follow. Human trafficking is not a specifically South Korean issue. However, the continent of Asia is the undisputed leader with 7 countries among the 11 countries with the most victims worldwide.
