It’s not a complicated story. The film is clear that it is a story of love and nostalgia, and it is portrayed accurately. Aside from the characters feeling a bit cliche, it gave off a cute vibe overall. The shots are beautiful and the actors are in great shape. There’s no real villain here, just complicated feelings and a bit of misunderstanding that isn’t exactly relieved when you don’t have cell phones.

This film is a great way to spend two hours on a weekday and we wouldn’t mind recommending it to our friends. K-Drama can always be counted on to deliver a good love story, and it’s one of the saving graces of a genre hanging by a thread.
