This film caught me off guard! I watched it with it a friend thinking it was going to be a thriller / suspense film, with dark elements. The Prime video description steered us in the wrong direction!
What this film actually is, is a story about love. For the most part, it's subtle and delicate. At other times, it's hard hitting and clear in its intention to show how damaging ones actions can be, if not carefully considered.
A teenage boy named Woomin, is the main character, who develops a crush on his father's carer, Sujung. Sujung becomes unwell and woomin makes some questionable choices to try and help her. What follows is a chain reaction series of events that pull in and intertwine others, who intentions and decisions also impact and determine the continuity of the story.
What gripped me about this movie, was the warmth and softness of the characters, particularly when they their situations and the feelings driving them, became overwhelming and began to break them down.
This film moves at an Evan pace. There are no special effects, in-your face CGI or "cool" soundtracks. The softness of how the majority of the film presented, allows the feelings of the characters to be fully realised. There are scenes that impact and shock, they too are done with care and beauty.
This is a beautiful film.
