This is a visually gorgeous, emotionally resonant, and surprisingly heart-fluttering film. It’s the kind of movie that makes you laugh, cry, and fall in love with the characters all in one sitting. It’s gentle, bittersweet, but also hopeful, which perfect for watching on a date, or just letting yourself get swept away by summer, friendship, and first love.

I rewatched it last night and my heart is in pieces ? It’s soft, classic, and somehow makes you cry even when nothing happens, like slipping into your grandma’s favorite sweater but also getting punched in the chest.

Young-min? Ugh, I can’t. He’s a walking disaster. Smart, rich, fluent in English, but put him in front of Hye-rin and he’s a total human Roomba, good at everything but absolutely useless when it counts. I wanted to shake him, then hug him, then shake him again. And yet, the way he loved her, like, yes, swoon me into a puddle. ?

Hye-rin, on the other hand, is queen energy. Fierce, smart, hilarious, never a trope, and with zero patience for his nonsense. The way she carries herself, even as life hits her hard, is just chef’s kiss.

And the romance is slow, stupidly cute, heartbreaking, slow burn. Fogged-up glasses, awkward hands, spilled umbrellas, waiting in front of Deoksugung Palace like a lovesick idiot, I cannot. ლ(╹◡╹ლ)

And yes, the ending was emotional ⫪⫪... my tears were all over the floor.

The vibe of this movie is unmatched. It’s the vibe of a whole generation. People actually lived gently back then. They waited, they felt things silently instead of screaming them at each other. And somehow, the music, the acting, the shots... they’re still fresh, like they traveled through time and didn’t get dusty.

Honestly, it’s tender, funny, sad, and wildly romantic, and it’ll make you want to text your crush while simultaneously yelling at them for being a dumbass. It’s a whole mood, a whole generation, a whole experience.??✨

8.5/10

This is a romance about two people society already gave up on who fall in love quietly, like they don’t want to inconvenience anyone with their feelings.
