This movie is so fun! All of them are virtual, but they are so close to each other, almost like a realistic shot in a dream, which makes people have to wonder if there is a deeper connection between thinking and dreaming every day?
A pocket of maxed-out credit cards, an unsure whether it's still valid for a city "Easy Travel Card", and a cell phone that is about to lose power; as a loser in the urban jungle, Be a good or bad loser? Whether you can afford to lose, sometimes, depends on an inexplicable thought? The hero who is in debt in the movie chooses to commit suicide by jumping into a river, which is easy; the director is very humorous and let him drift to a virtual island, the kind where you can see the neon lights of the city.
The otaku who has been in seclusion for three years and stayed at home, expresses her naive but no way out emotions on the Internet, and chooses to hide in a corner where the sun does not see the light, because: "Everyone other than yourself is an alien".
What kind of sparks will this pair of "normal" people who are the most failed social fringe collide?
Young Korean director Lee Hae-joon is so talented, I'm really curious how he came up with these wonderful images. This is definitely a low-cost art film, but it has excellent entertainment effects and unavoidable reflections on life; almost every simple question is a big question that must be faced in life, which is amazing. With wonderful question marks, why bother with long explanations?
Zheng Liyuan's house is almost in her bones. She should be awarded an award for her acting skills. Unfortunately, I don't have the right to do so, so I can only applaud in a low voice. Jeong Jae-young, a handsome guy who is naturally stupid, is really the best choice for this unfortunate role, and he brilliantly portrays how an idiot in a city finds an impossible second spring of life.
Can we follow the hero and heroine and slowly examine ourselves, can we live without money and credit cards? Without the eaves that shelter from the wind and rain, wouldn't people die? Can being alone really avoid all the sadness and turmoil?
The dark humor of Japan and Korea, each with its own unique innate ability, is probably the most capable of self-joking among Asians; at least, in the films I've seen, it's hard for other countries to match it. Perhaps, the borrowed traditional culture is less burdensome and can be applied freely?
Two men and women who can't fight with each other can find a fatal attraction in the most unattainable probability, in that little link; A major challenge and appeal of the proposition: Do you really need to have so many necessary conditions to survive?
The passion that life is tied to the first line is actually so weak? So, whether it is life or death, why should there be any fear? Since it has already been put to death, the extra is earned. Then, just live well!

    A good story about the same sickness! Everyone is an island, but loneliness is different in different ways. Don't despair of life, because you will find a similar person, and that person will really understand you only because you are in a similar situation. When the homeless man came ashore, he was about to drown in the sea of ​​people, and he could feel the deep loneliness in the heroine's heart. Hope at the end continues just right.
