The film received mixed reviews. While the premise is tense, some viewers felt it lacked the "grit" of the original Korean version.

This is a romantic drama about a novelist (Baldwin) who is blinded in a car accident and a socialite (Moore) who is forced to read to him as part of her community service.

Generally negative. Reviewers on Rotten Tomatoes describe it as a "glorified Hallmark Channel melodrama" that is "cheesy and terribly clichéd."
