Cute premise, but that's it.

This was probably the worst I've seen from strongberry/matchbox.
The plot didn’t make sense, and not in a "ghosts aren't real" way, but in a "if ghost were real they should still feel emotions that develop from the situation instead of being forced onto the audience without basis" way.
The acting was sloppy and uncomfortable to watch - I never really knew what was supposed to be conveyed in the actors' faces.
Was there a point to the story?? I didn’t get it. I felt like the whole ghost bonding sequence was entirely wasted by a nonsensical script and poor direction/acting. It could have been a really interesting point to make about? Idk not wasting your life? Solidarity between groups oppressed by heterosexual patriarchy? Anything would have been better than the weird, abrupt crying and hugging.
The camerawork and soundwork was messy and inconsistent (did they not have a boom operator on this shoot?), and not to good impact - shaky camera work can communicate something if done well, but done randomly, it just distracts from the (in this case not very good) action. The sound was tinny in a number of scenes.
I hope the team on this project has made a lot of progress since producing this piece.

Why not watch a light-hearted micro-story that probably won't happen? Koreans do not think about anything. Cute, Korean funny, but just slightly above average

Proč se nepodívat na nadlehčený mikropříběh, který se asi jen tak nestane? Korejci si nad ničím nelámou hlavu. Milé, korejsky vtipné, ale jen mírně nadprůměrné
