A Strong Cinematic Promise That Settles for a Safe Ending
The series opens with an unusual and refreshing approach for a Korean romance: an urban, European-influenced tone where distance, silence, and movement matter more than idealized love or fan service.
The first four episodes stand out for their cinematic language and mature restraint, letting the city and the camera observe rather than dictate emotions.
Unfortunately, as the story progresses, the same conflict is stretched and repeated. Introspection turns into immobility, and narrative hesitation replaces real decision-making. What began as a romance that challenged the usual K-drama mold eventually retreats into a safe, conservative ending that prioritizes comfort over consequence.
Not a bad series, but one that fails to sustain the bold promise of its beginning.
