The original work, which deals with extremely heavy and realistic subjects such as the struggles of the main character girl, her mother, and her brother, who run away, their house disappears, and end up on the streets in an instant, while effectively incorporating wit and humor with a touch of humanism, is “a story that will make the whole world cry and make you laugh.” It achieved popular success with favorable reviews calling it “a work of art.” movie <개를 훔치는 완벽한 방법>is a human comedy depicting the extraordinary theft of a ten-year-old girl who tries to steal a dog to get her missing father and home back. Based on the strengths of the original work, it was adapted to suit Korean sentiments, the characters were strengthened, and it was put on the screen. The movie depicts a girl who, due to a sudden business failure, disappears from home with her father and ends up living using a pizza delivery car as a roof, and plots and executes a theft to get her house. Rather than simply remaining in the category of a touching drama, the film developed into a human comedy with the aspect of a ‘caper movie’ in the process of children’s wild ideas, detailed operational plans and plots to steal a dog, cooperation and bold execution of sympathizers. . In addition, while dealing with painful, realistic issues such as family breakup and poverty, it talks about hope by cheerfully depicting the true meaning of family, life, and love through witty commotion and vivid characters.
