This movie has been overrated. There have been hundreds of Hong Sangsoo imitators in South Korea's indie movie scene and this movie just grabbed the spotlight because the director was a woman who had been Hong's longtime producer. I know, that's what she had learned. However, we don't expect to watch some artist's opposite-sex double when we see a new director's debut film. Actually, South Korea's independent filmmaking industry is driving itself into a pipeline system that limits itself as a pool to supply personpower, ideas, and trends, lacking experimental and challenging spirit it used to have. This movie shows just another example of a so-so low-budget self-claimed indie film that just reproduces old conventions of already successful arthouse directors.
