I’ve re-watched this a few times and that heavy, dreamlike atmosphere hits me every single time. It feels so far from those loud, plastic productions. The bond between Ji-hyeon and Jae-won is quiet but incredibly charged. I love how the small touches and gazes are given space, like when they’re just sitting on the beach. Im Ji-sub plays Jae-won with a tiredness in his eyes that feels so real; his struggle with depression and that paralyzing darkness is honestly portrayed. The only things that ruin the vibe are the annoying ex-girlfriend and those cartoonish bullies.
