Ordinary but cute. A very lovely friend of mine is called Min-ji, and after watching this short high school drama comedy, I now know three more people with the same name. When you share a name with someone else, you need something other than your name to distinguish yourself from others. There are nicknames, and there are also different personalities that help people recognize us.

Similar to other episodes of the great "Love: Track" series, this one explores the topic of love, but also of one’s identity. Even more than the story of finding and expressing love, what touched me here is the main character’s search for identity. The valuable lesson is that we develop our identity in relationship with others, and it was refreshing to see a positive depiction of high school life (in comparison to the many heavy topics often shown in Korean cinema). Well worth the watch.
