About
You may like this if you enjoy quiet, character-led dramas about romantic disappointment and emotional endurance; Not for you if you want fast pacing or a lighter tone, though fans of Summer with Monika may find a familiar mood.
Pros: strong performances; emotional honesty; relatable disappointments | Cons: uneven pacing; melodramatic moments; dry style
