People do the same thing in life

The structure of "this" and "that" gives the story a chance to be watched again.

To be precise, it is forcing the audience to take another look at a simple pick-up story. In the impatient second viewing, helplessly pondering, thinking, and sublimating meaning.

Story-wise, it's not even embarrassing, just boring, like life. But because of the second viewing, so long as you pay attention you can grab a lot of details.

When people get along with each other, especially when they just met, a word or two, or even an expression or action, can change the entire communication process. The immutability of life is always a pity. However, it is possible to do it all over again, completely honestly, and find it no different.

Watching Hong Sang-soo's movies, there is always a feeling of ineffable. There are many subtle emotions that are difficult to recap. Because those details often run through the interactions of the characters, a message that I heard during a chat after drinking, occasionally reappears later, and people's emotions are often manipulated by the details.

The more such stories are read, the more inevitable it is to feel disappointed in the relationship between men and women. We are also more aware that each of us has a very weak grasp of life, and most of the situations are pushed away by chance.

Therefore, it is very powerless to talk about right and wrong in life, and it is a wrong premise, because there is no such thing as right or wrong at that time, after all, "people do the same thing in life".

To draw such a conclusion is not to hide from nothingness, but in the face of such depressing facts, perhaps we all have to face our own “desire” with all our efforts to regain the sense of control over our personal life. Otherwise, it's easy to be depressed living.
