I though this film was just average to me for the most part. I loved the nostalgic feel it gives off and the idea of experiencing a first love for the first time again though. Both Seo Yeon and Seung Min get a second chance to go back and take a chance with no regrets which helps them both finally put that disappointment of missing out on each other behind them.
This it allows them to move on with their lives. Closure is a powerful feeling and I think both characters will be better off having finally put to rest that chapter of their lives.
The idea of first love is often romanticized to the point where you question your memories. There’s often you filter out the bad memories and only remember the good.
This movie shows that life isn't a romantic fairy tale story, where the guy finally gets the girl. It’s a sad but important message to portray. Overall though I felt the movie was slow in its pacing. There was real captivating moments and it just didn’t generate enough sparks of emotions for me. I appreciated the ideas and vibe of the film which has a good concept, but wished the movie could have been more captivating
