It clearly describes a very conventional story. The male and female protagonists have families, but they still can't help but fall in love with each other. Perhaps because of the black-and-white film, the whole film has a hazy, sad beauty to it. The voices of the male and female protagonists are also very good. What I love most is the dialogue between the male and female protagonists at the end of the film. "Will you forgive me?" "Forgive you for what?" "Forgive me for loving you." "I will forgive you if you forgive me."
