I'm going to review this because I so object to the low, around 3 stars, rating it seems to have gotten. It's a science fiction film, but it's not about killer robots, particularly; it's not about planets or star ships blowing up; it's not about aliens invading the earth. It's a quiet, sort of slow film, that seems to be about one thing and then turns out to be about something else. It's low budget but I don't think that is damaging in the least. The acting isn't bad - it's part of the story. In fact, I will watch for the actors in other work just to see how they do. The story, as I said, seems to be one thing, but then starts to twist and turn to an ending that is quite moving.

All in all, I'm glad to have stumbled across this.

I've yet to see the original Japanese version of this story, but the Korean version is one more reason why I feel Korea makes some of the best movies around.

A story of logic and math, this story emphasizes the relationships over the usual mystery. It's about why did it more than how did it, and the ending like a character says is happy and bitter.

The acting in excellent and the music is also a great part in why it's so effective.

I'm not going to give a lot of detail about the plot or the characters. See the move on Youtube with English subtitles and enjoy.
