Mellow, romantic and thought provoking if you watch with open mind
Don't want to put too many details and spoilers so let's just say this is a story of two people who are distrustful of each other, loathe each other's scheming, but make a pact and in the process learn to communicate, express feelings and accept lies, imperfections and betrayal.
What I liked was the script (story and dialogues) delivered by the actors with good skill. Chemistry between the leads is there, but I know that some folks will not like the monotonous face of the ML and animated FL. However, if you watch till the end, you will know why he is depressed and reserved even when knowing his woman loves him and she gains that same mature love expressiveness in the end as well. Secondary actors did a good job embodying their characters, I personally liked FL's father and stepmother.
Music was fitting and lovely. Camera work so so at times, but overall mood created by specific light, angles and closeups was fantastic. It did not have the dramatic feel of Hard to Find, or Money is Coming, but I felt like someone was trying to get us into similar experience as that watching In the Mood for Love. Good editing and for the connoisseurs of kisses the last episode is not to be missed.
Fight scenes or combat was non-existent and thank the heaven no annoying 2FL although there was 2ML budging in.
The most standing out things for me was the (and I apologize for anybody who is not familiar with the Western movies) "gotcha" comment like that in Wag the Dog (what are we paying attention to and why?) and the whole idea of the soul #0598 who gets sent on the mission at different eras. Or at least that is what I got from it.
