A Koan of Love Across Languages ​​and Cultures

The long-awaited "Love, in a foreign land", well, a little disappointed. But really only a little bit.

This time it's still a love case. In addition to the detached relationship between the two love affairs in the rotten stalks of the eight o'clock file, there are more layers of language barriers, and one more white woman makes other characters crazy, so there is another field of interpersonal wrestling. This time the language is not as good as the previous work. For Hong Sangxiu, it is only a sketch, but the permutation and combination game he likes to play is still very comfortable to watch.

Of the three permutations alone, the first koan is my favorite. As far as the whole movie is concerned, under the first arrangement, the confusion that the unreadable love letter brought to the lifeguard seems to have been placed in the last story. (but really only if there is nothing)

    There are three stories in the script, the second is a reality and a dream, and the details suggest that this is a closed structure; the same scenes and characters test the patience of the audience, the actors shuttle back and forth in the same scenes, but perform The stories of different directions, the differences presented are both dreamy and real; the poignant irony of Korean men is very funny.
