• “I really enjoyed Nora and Hae Sung reconnecting over Skype the first time around. That entire sequence was so well-done and conveyed their connection as efficiently as possible.”

• “that beginning scene was. Like it's funny because it's just two random strangers profiling them, but it also sets up the entire movie. Like who are these people to each other? Throughout the movie I couldn't help but think back to the beginning scene and loved it. Especially when eventually Nora looks right at the camera and then it cuts to 24 years in the past, Great stuff.”

• “I'm glad the film ended the way it did. I feel like there is hope for all three main characters.”

• “the scene where they just stare at each other with no words right before he leaves. Their expressions says so much. And her crying while walking back just saying goodbye to that life, the idea of him and her childhood.”

• “during the second act when Hae Sung was Skyping with Nora in the gondola, he was riding the gondola up to Namsan Tower in Seoul, which has beautiful overlook of the city, and where couples historically go in Seoul to solidify their relationship. There are hundreds, if not thousands of locks from couples who have gone up to that outlook. Perhaps the call dropping as he is on his way up to the tower is foreshadowing their relationship?”
