Completely forgot that I watched this on a long haul flight, but here I go. And I have to agree with other users that this feels a lot closer to a Hollywood production as compared to South Korea. A movie about connection, what it means to be soulmate and if such a concept exists if one person is unwilling to accept this. More of a hard-hitting watch, the vibe that I was getting from it made me feel ashamed and embarrassed for the lead female character. Many other themes relate to identity, what it's like being a 1st generation Korean-American immigrant, which is close to me as my husband is also Korean-American. I believe viewers can find something relatable to draw from this movie nevertheless. But did this leave me in awe - I can't say so. It felt like an average mature movie to me, something I've seen in Korea before.
