Not Like Other K Dramas
As someone who has watched a lot of K-dramas, this show felt really refreshing. It wasn’t predictable and didn’t follow the usual TV tropes. I literally couldn’t put it down, which is a rare occurrence for me. I didn’t love the ending, but I understand why they chose to finish it that way. The cinematography is beautiful, and it truly feels like a work of art (pun not intended).Was this review helpful to you?
Definitely Worth a Watch
I went into this knowing absolutely nothing about the plot, which probably influenced how much I enjoyed it, but I honestly thought it was great. I’m not familiar with the original Japanese version, and I’ve noticed that a lot of the ratings seem heavily based on comparisons to that. I think if more people rated this purely as a standalone film, it might have received fairer and higher scores.I’m definitely going to watch the Japanese version now, and I’m sure I’ll probably end up agreeing with many of the reviews that compare the two. That said, on its own, I think this is absolutely worth a watch and one of the better Korean movies I’ve seen in a while — and God knows I’ve seen a lot haha. I’ve also worked with film sound design and music, and the soundtrack here is veryyyyy well done!
