Who'll love it
Great for people who like their stories with a little heart-flutter and anyone who likes a story with emotional weight. One to watch when you can give it your full attention. Same wavelength as 20th Century Girl.
The mood
Warm and romantic.
The pace
Character-first and patient.
What might put you off
  • It's in Korean, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.
