I first thought this would be one of those graphic and harsh/depressing film. But it actually turned out to be a warm romance movie to a degree. Sure, the premise may sound creepy but it's executed in a way where you actually feel for the old guy. Mainly because of the genuine heart of the man and the person he falls for. The two actors and the actress did a amazingly fine job bringing out the characters in a very natural manner. To the point it seemed like real characters. Another Korean movie called "The Bow" had something similar going on. But despite the artsy elements the characters were too mysterious and it didn't have enough to make the old guy to be likable and came about like a poor Hugh Hefner. While this was the opposite while having that artistic elements as well. Also the climax was not expected.
6.8/10
