We had love curing depression, anxiety, cancer - this time we take on insomnia! Surprisingly, it did make sense.

Not gonna lie, this is not some unexpected, fresh masterpiece, but it has a really calming and… sentimental vibe to it. It does feel like a snippet of a larger story. The characters have far more complexity and depth based on their background and past, that is sadly not shown because of the short format.

We get a lot of answers for “what”, but not many for “why”. We know what the characters are struggling with, but not why it happened, especially with Dong Uk. They hint the fact he feels lonely and somehow unsafe - why though? The whys are the interesting part.

Long story short, it’s a story about two people who provide each other solace and warmth. Story that is well presented - be it pacing, directing or editing. The acting was also really good.

That said, some choices were… questionable. Random new person with dialogues, but no face - why? Then we have the kissing scenes. The actors were obviously not uncomfortable, since we’ve got one “normal” one, so why were the rest so bizarre in comparison - more or less stale shots from behind the back of the characters showing… nothing.

Overall, short and sweet, High mid.
