A novelist yearning for silence and a musician haunted by loneliness clash through the wall that separates them. What begins as a deal to quiet the noise turns into nights of passion, healing, and inspiration—where only each other’s presence can protect them from the darkness. (Source: TMDb) Edit Translation

A hollow void next door

This is supposed to be romantic, but it really unintentionally looks more like a psychological horror show and maybe it would have been better if it was. Like the main character writer has snapped from the pressure of being unable to write and imagined a pushy musician housemate that matches up to his pretentious tastes and would give him some excitement at home and at his convenience store job. Not that the main character ever interacts with anyone else, but the musician guy definitely doesn't. He might as well be imaginary or a ghost. He never has any behavior that indicates he's a real, three dimensional person. There is no chemistry though I can see the writing trying to establish their connection and I appreciate the actors committing to the kiss scenes, but it looks awkward and doesn't need to go on for so long. The director needs to accept that and cut the scenes shorter.

More important things to do

The subs are horrible. After reading, you just have to make the best guess possible as to what they meant to convey. Overall, I've seen Yu Bin in much better productions. My Damn Business comes to mind. So this was a let down. The other ml came off as being too direct. There was no real charm to him other than his husky voice and smile. The staged interractions were clumsy. Their physical responses to being touched were decent. There is a something between them. Budget aside, this was lacking in more ways than one. If you like Yu Bin, as he is a consistent actor, give it a watch.
