This movie is a hybrid of Korea and Japan. The male lead is a Korean who has moved to Kyoto in Japan, and the female lead is a Japanese who lives in Kyoto. The synopsis of the movie interested me and I was eager to watch it. I expected a lot but they say, 'The higher the expectations, the bigger the disappointment' and that exactly implies to me after I finished watching the movie. In the end, this is just another story of two people meeting each other and falling in love but then they separate due to some circumstances. I didn't find any 'cliff hanger' or something that would make my eyes glued to the screen. Occasionally, I found myself considering the idea of quitting it and watching something else but then I was a bit curious to watch the ending even though it was a bit predictable. I thought that perhaps the ending would make me say, 'I don't regret picking up this movie.' But that didn't happen. The ending wasn't any better. It was just OK and exactly to what I had predicted. I didn't quite like the romance between the two leads.

The ONLY aspect of this movie I liked is Lee Jun Ki and his acting as the male lead 'Kim Min'. He did some good acting there as a Korean guy isolated in Japan, coping with the language barrier. But I didn't like Aoi Miyazaki as the female lead 'Sasaki Nanae'. She looked like a kid there, and she and Lee Jun Ki didn't look much good together. I won't say her acting was anything great either. She pulled it off somehow.

I don't remember the music though I watched it just today afternoon. I think the soundtracks were just fine and suited with the scenes in which they were played. Nothing special or worth listening to by downloading the OST. At least I won't.

If you are looking for a TYPICAL love story, you may watch this movie. But if you are looking for something unique, I don't think you'll enjoy it much.
