My beloved herds the sheep among the lilies...

This movie has a Western-style tone, but it captures the subtlety, delicacy and beauty of oriental love. In the end, there is a sense of uncontrollable loss. If there are people who resonate with them, they must have some understanding of the "Bible". Among them, the "Song of Songs" chapter is about the legend of the beloved.
"...my beloved goes down into his garden, to the fragrant flower border, and shepherds the flock in the garden, and gathers lilies. I belong to my beloved, and my beloved also belongs to me, and he herds the flock among the lilies. Sheep...."
When you read such a sentence, when you hear the sentence in the letter written by the heroine to the hero at the end of the credits, do you feel disillusioned and intertwined?
The film inherits the tradition of Western compassion films, with profound Western cultural heritage. About the story, about the lily, about the beloved. If you also have a lover who is grazing like sheep among lilies, then you will understand.
