About
You may like this if you want a moody, memory-like nightlife drama about love, drifting, and longing, with more feeling than plot; Not for you if you need fast pacing or clear story beats like Three Times.
Pros: neon-night atmosphere; youth energy; dreamy, reflective mood | Cons: very slow pace; thin story; hard to connect
