Before I started watching, I only had a basic idea of fhe plot - an actor who goes to a hill side town and meets someone there and falls in love. The story as such wasn't interesting and frankly the only reason I started this was because of the hype surrounding it.

The direction is interesting, the location is truly beautiful but the story itself is quite slow moving. It was an interesting choice to have several, if not most, scenes with no background music. Just silence. A lot of those times nothing specific is happening with many of them just having actors be lost in thought or are silent. It felt a lot like an art film.

My biggest issue was that there were many times when I was confused as to what happened. I would wonder if I missed something but it was just suspense to be revealed later. Other times you had to draw your own conclusions with no extra clues. So I had to resort to asking others what actually happened. Many times other viewers were also guessing. This lack of understanding affected my viewing experience.

There were some interesting scenarios like how actors and their teams handle viral stories (both positive and negative). And truth and what gets depicted to the public. Or what conclusions fans draw and how they can be manipulated to believe something. This is what fascinated me the most about this story rather than the relationship between the two leads.

Overall I can't say I completely disliked it but I wasn't wowed by it either. Perhaps one can chalk it up to differences in taste.
