The story
Through the course of their lives, a man and his first love are repeatedly separated from each other because of circumstances out of their control.
What it’s like
Soft daylight through apartment windows, rain on city streets, and warm, slightly washed-out colour give this Korean romance a wistful, nostalgic look, with the camera lingering on quiet faces more than on spectacle. The score leans on gentle piano and strings, and the pace is unhurried, with long pauses that let feelings settle. The vibe is bittersweet and tender, the kind of film that suits a rainy afternoon, a solo evening with a blanket, or a comfort rewatch. Its emotional register is melancholy and romantic: a man and his first love keep drifting apart and finding their way back, and the story follows the ache of timing and missed chances across the years. There is no violence, no gore, and no sexual content; the sadness is emotional and the mood stays gentle throughout. It is for viewers who enjoy romantic drama about longing, memory, and the what-ifs of first love.
