A Unique Story
Even though I’m not a fan of romantic dramas, this one captivated me with its atmosphere and unconventional approach to the story.
It feels very different from typical romance plots: the slow pace and repetitive scenes, which I thought would annoy me, actually created a unique, mysterious vibe. The male lead, with his sexy brain, really caught my attention — it was interesting to watch his persistence, how he wouldn’t stop until he found the answers. Still, I can’t excuse the stalking. The creators clearly knew this would spark a negative reaction and tried to soften it: the male lead admits he acted like a stalker, and even his friend suggested the female lead report him to the police. Some viewers accepted this explanation, others didn’t. To me, it’s still a romanticization of toxic behavior, and the reaction from part of the audience only proves that.
Despite this morally questionable storyline, the visuals, music, cinematography, and storytelling built a unique, almost magical atmosphere that I’ll remember for a long time.
