The Reality of an Affair

I commend the director for his ability to convey the deep intimacy this movie shares with his audience. It isn't just our MLs who have an affair. The affair is also with the viewer. They make us feel a part of this relationship and the performances, especially Yoo Gong's, are so well executed that you are placed right in the midst of their relationship. You feel the angst, the butterflies, the excitement and the passion. You want to root for them, but you know you shouldn't because to root for them is to cause pain to those innocent. So the inevitable must occur, and with it its own horrible pain.

The music was passionate and beautiful, representative of the intense feelings of the characters. The snowy landscapes were lovely, cold as it was. It gave quite a contrast to the heat created by our two lovers. They seemed their best selves when they were together, but love affairs are subject to their reality, which is what our director delivers.
