I think of the blurred background and East Asian texture of "Dream Traveler", adding the agility, fantasy, humor and warmth of "Amelie", plus a little Park Chan-wook's unique "cool". The work of a screenwriter and director is sometimes like a perfumer, and a new fragrance will slowly rise and disperse between the fusion of several flavors.

Really slow. The first 2/3 didn't feel it, even a little inexplicable, and almost doubted whether it was purely a pretentious and sinister play style. But when you get better, you can smile knowingly and be touched.

Especially the scene where Rain pretended to install a power converter behind her back, the scene where she took her first bite, and the scene with the lightning rod, until the end. In the end, the vastness of the sky and the earth surrounds everyone, making you believe and confirm that there is so much beauty.

I, like a lot of people, came back and fell in love with this name: I'm a Cyborg, but that's OK. -- it's like saying, love wants you, no matter who you are.


It's just that it's still hard to think that Rain looks good.

I'm a Cyborg, But That's OK quotes

  • Park Il-sun: I did all kinds of things in jail. Because I felt I was vanishing. I stole other people's clothes to wear. And I brushed my teeth diligently. Once your teeth start to go, there's no turning back.

    The mythomaniac: That's true.

    Park Il-sun: I had a psych evaluation and they said I'm schizophrenic and anti-social.

    The mythomaniac: Anti-social?

    Park Il-sun: Like stealing and fighting for no reason. And not having any sense of guilt or sympathy. But I don't know why they call me anti-social. I have my reasons for stealing. I'm afraid I'll vanish. I'm anti-vanishing.

  • [last lines]

    Park Il-sun: More than our socks are wet.
