A fresh story with pleasant smiles

Let's start from the most positive note: Doh Kyung Soo and Chae Seo Jin prove to be excellent actors; he is convincing even in a romantic story, and she is charming in a characterful role with adorable grins.

Granted, the story is brief, with only six episodes lasting around ten minutes each, and you would have preferred a longer story, but unlike other short plays, it does not leave you with regret or a sense of incompleteness: the true protagonist is not the story of the characters, but the tale itself, the story of something in the works -a movie or a love story- and of the commitment and determination to achieve something important that you love, even if you can't say why. The opening scene of episode six sheds light on this, as a commission that provides funds asks him, an aspiring filmmaker, why he likes movies and why he wants to make them. All he can say is that he he loves them so much; he can't find other words to explain it other than smile. Sometimes we can't describe why we love something or someone so deeply, we can just notice ourselves smiling warmly when talking about it.

A special mention goes to... Chae Seo Jin's character: it's great that in a relationship, when there is a split but there is something valuable to save, one of the two people takes on the burden of repairing and steering that difficult journey that leads to reuniting, towards a better future.
