"The genre is a comedy, so I thought it was two people who did everything they could to play a prank to destroy each other. I had high expectations. I didn’t expect it to be a slow comedy that focuses on emotions. . Maybe there are deeper social factors behind it, but non-local audiences cannot understand. "The above brief comment is exactly what I want to say! The three words "slowly" are hitting the nail on the head. The film doesn't feel like a fast-paced Hollywood film, but it doesn't have the philosophical meaning and mellow refinement of a short film of European life.
