Mixed Feelings

As Wolfgang_B said, the movie was okay

Yea, sure, realism is at the front, but it felt more like the movie was created for drama purposes and thats it. Their relationship could be easily solved if Sui and Yikyeong had open communication, but the director did not go through that nuance of fleshing out their relationship. Rather, they dance around the topic of actually talking to each other and fixing their relationship.

I enjoyed the movie for the yuri aspect because that adds a touch of nuance and reality to the film. Like Yikyeong fantasizing if two women could ever get married in South Korea, and at the front of Sui and Yikyeongs relationship, a lot of conflict did derive from the fact that they are two women. Other than the lesbian aspect aside being the only realistic conflict in their relationship, their romance feels a bit forced. Drama just to have drama. I feel quite underwhelmed when it comes to the romance aspect of this film, I think drama would suit the films genre better.

Cinematically, this film is great, a lot of shots can be worthy of wallpaper material. The artstyle is simplistic but notable enough, such as the little details like Sui's lip cut throughout the film, or her habit of biting her lips. The colours are beautiful and blend in amazing with each other, and I loved the scenario shots.

7/10 is my justification. Its just okay, not anything too ground breaking. I would recommend this if you are desperate for yuri media, as there is not much out there, and if you want a visually pleasing film. Do not expect the story to be fantastic
