Soo-jung writes for Young-soo; Jae-hoon may finance his film project. From varying points of view in two long parallel flashbacks, we see what precedes the hotel date. Details differ, and each account includes events missing from the other. Characters are quiet and self-contained, then animated; victims apologize. Each character frequently asks, "Really?" What has really happened? Is one account more accurate? Is a kiss the most enjoyable and promising human contact? Connections are tenuous and fragile.

| User ReviewRobert BA very well shot and acted film. The real beauty lies in how truthful the romance is. The love scenes are clumsy and will not look sweet and touching to an onlooker. These moments are specific to those involved and in the end that is real love. The story has two sides and we see each of them. There are some discrepancies between the two and some similarities. It seems as though each partner wants credit for the blossoming of the romance, like there is some kind of award. It hints at a slight selfish nature about loving one person. The film is slow in it's unraveling, but goes by fairly quickly. Like love itself, be patient and look for the small details that make it worthwhile. |

| User ReviewNikolaos SWhen I watched this movie, it was incredibly boring because I wasn't really sure what was going on. But after it was over and I looked back, I thought that the idea of telling the same story from two perspectives was a great idea. If you pay attention to the nuances, you'll find a thoughtful flick with some genuine emotions. |
