It's worthy of your time
First of all, please be aware that this is an advertisement short film, so there will be a focus on certain product during the film.I have to say I was pleasantly surprised seeing Suzy took part in the screenwriting of this, especially considering how she previously mentioned writing short stories and scripts were one of her hobbies. The story itself is pretty easy to get and doesn't really go deep, although the deepness may depend on your personal interpretation and correlation with your own experiences. There's an unexpected breakup and we see young Su Ji going through every phase of it until she reaches happiness again.
What I truly enjoyed about this short film was how, even with a very little amount of lines, every feeling, whether it's anger, sadness or happiness, was perfectly portrayed and intensified with an amazing sound mixing. That last one is definitely my favorite aspect of all, because it transports you to the scene.
Overall, 'If My Things are at Your Place We're Not Over' was a great use of 12 minutes of my life and I personally liked the final message that being happy with yourself (and obviously Lancome's products haha) is enough.

Not Bad..
It's not bad, it's as good as it'll get for a 10 minute short film. It's worth watching, I don't have much to say because it was so short. It's good enough. Suzys acting is good thats about it, theres not an original plot or anything and its an ad but it was still good. If you're bored and have nothing else to do watch it, although I wish I knew what the woman in the elevator had to do with the plot, I thought it'd be revealed that that was his girlfriend but nothing happened and she didn't go to his house so what was her issue and why was she added if there was no point for her in the script??Was this review helpful to you?
Good Enough
" If My Things are at Your Place We're Not Over " tried to be impressive, thought-provoking and complex, but it didn't succeed to do so.The story is pretty basic, but it lacked that promised revolution and character growth in the ending. The addition of the product placement made it feel like an advertisement short film, which is unfortunate.
Other than that, the filming method was impressive and the editing well done. The performances were pretty good too, considering that this was a short film and there wasn't room to experiment a lot.
So, overall, 6 out of 10.

Bae suzy getting over her boy in 12 minutes
A young woman falls into despair after a bad breakup, and seeks to make a new start.Does the synopsis give away that this is a Lancôme advertisement at all? It does not, yet that's purely what it is. I feel tricked.Plus the short's point as it makes up a plot is dubious. The translated title, Live Your Strength, only works as yet another layer of the advertising, so it's best to keep the original: If My Things are at Your Place, We're Not Over. That sums it up to the point of not leaving anything out—other than the "live through Lancôme" twist.
It's petty, if I had to define it in one word.
