After reading the reviews I thought this would be rubbish but what the hell, my friend and I thought it would be funny and boy, were we pleasantly surprised! It is undoubtedly slow but it more than makes up for it in the end and the way it plays with the plot, characters and its cyclical nature is nothing short of genius. There is a sense of satisfaction at the end although some of it is confusing and I think that's what the director was trying to convey: While we try to make sense of life, we can't make sense of everything and sometimes you just have to accept that and go with the flow. If you're unsure about seeing this, don't be and go with that flow!

Korean cinema is known for its mastery of genre, fluidly blending thriller, drama, and dark comedy with social critique. The post-1990s renaissance brought bold storytelling and masterful craft to the world stage, addressing class, identity, and modern anxieties with cinematic flair.

The drama genre is a broad category that features stories portraying human experiences, emotions, conflicts, and relationships in a realistic and emotionally impactful way. Dramas delve into the complexities of human life, often exploring themes of love, loss, morality, societal issues, personal growth, with the aim to evoke an emotional response from the audience by presenting relatable and thought-provoking stories.
