It still amazes that a film like this that is slow, delicate and where seemingly nothing happens can actually provide as much entertainment and emotional reaction as a major blockbuster with frenetic energy and action. Also, the former could provide more than the latter.
A lot of this film reminded of most of Richard Linklater's works, where there is little in visual action and instead is heavy in natural dialogue.
It essentially felt like a celebration in serendipity and how we as a species have a great belief in it.
As well as the power of chance meetings. It also felt like it was about finding new beginnings in a life you'd thought to be over.
It might not have the profound energy or have as gripping of a script as Linklater. But it remained pleasant viewing with some sweet moments that felt authentic as if we were watching everyday footage of real people talking.
The cast do a great job at making those characters and the script shine on screen. Lee Hye-Yeong and Kim Min-Hee were particular standouts.
The style and pacing is definitely for everyone. But if you like the subtle style of storytelling, then this would work well for you.
Rating: 7/10
