The film has also had an enduring influence within the Korean film industry. Actor Jang Hyuk reportedly studied the film in preparation for his comeback role in MBC drama "Thank You". Assistant Director Park Heung-sik was influenced by particular scenes of Jung-won washing rice and teaching his father the VCR remote control, for his film "Bravo, My Life!". The muffled weeping scene also found its way into "My Mother, the Mermaid". Characters in "Barking Dogs Never Bite" and "Girls' Night Out" are shown, respectively, watching scenes of the VCR remote and lovers' stroll. Han and Shim are named as ideal casting choices by the eponymous aspiring script writer in "My Sassy Girl".
