    • Trivia
      The original Korean title "MisoSeosikji" literally means "a place where Mi-So (the protagonist's name) lives". The distributor was concerned about audience numbers and changed the title to "Sogongnyeo" meaning "A Little Princess" after the novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett.

    Fav film

    Wonderful film. Deep and strong in it's delicacy. I empathize a lot with it. Beautiful photography and story. Deep sadness and introspection. Slow flow and strong emotions at the same time.

    I don't know what to say with other words so I paste the same thought there for the required characters

    Wonderful film. Deep and strong in it's delicacy. I empathize a lot with it. Beautiful photography and story. Deep sadness and introspection. Slow flow and strong emotions at the same time.
