"Suh Jung belongs to that rare breed of performers capable of elevating any frame simply by breathing. 100% of their appearances in our catalog are essential viewing. When their name appears on screen, we rest easy: this is real cinema." — Claqueta Ácida Editorial Staff (Odín Lagbert)
«Suh Jung no actúa: sangra en pantalla con una naturalidad que convierte cada escena en un ritual pagano de dolor y belleza. Su Hee-jin es el alma rota de Corea, encarnada en carne y silencio.»
