| | Take Care of My Cat (2002): CAST - PopMatters Film Review |
 | | The need to move on eventually dominates all of their decisions, including the choice of homes for Ti-ti, the beloved titular cat who has, by the film's end, lived with each girl. |
 | | The film, however, is not wholly "realistic," as the girls' communication methods are, in a way, "anti-real." When the girls type text messages to each other on their cell phones, floating text appears in bus windows or on building walls, imbuing their environments with traces of impersonal technology, both chilling and beautiful. |
 | | Intimate messages, like Tae-hee's concern for Ji-young's well-being, are reduced to electronic code; the cell phone, which supposedly keeps us more in touch with each other, here enhances distance between the girls by replacing face to face communication with sterile text. |
