I enjoyed this movie a lot-- it's really fairly considered more as a drama than a mystery, though I thought the mystery aspects were well done and compelling. It's much more of a small-scale human interaction piece than anything with a huge reveal.
I love both of the lead actors in this film (they are both routinely excellent) and they are unsurprisingly lovely together. Kim Ha-neul does a great job of portraying a character trying to navigate several kinds of grief and keep some version of herself intact. Jung Woo-sung is operating here in a more vulnerable mode and balances the hidden contradictions of his character in a very believable way.
I can't say much about the characters themselves without giving too much away, but I found them to be nuanced and believable.
I hope the writer/director does more projects in the future-- I think this is a really excellent first feature film and I would love to see what else she comes up with.
