7.5/10 is my rating. This is a 2020 South Korean romance drama with a run time of 57 minutes.

First I provide a unique synopsis then review.

Synopsis

When award winning film director Han Seo-rin (Jun Hyo-seong) returns to South Korea from abroad, her prodigy level success as a director means she has her pick of films and actors. But she decides to work with her childhhod friend, Cha Soo-hyuk (Choi Kyu-jin) who is now a top actor. He confessed his feelings before she left for abroad but she said she only thought of him as a friend out of fear. Now Soo-hyuk seems to have moved on with a top actress who is co-starring with him in the film Seo-rin is directing. Have his feelings really changed? Can she remain unaffected when the man she loves, and always has, is filming a love story in front of her?

Review

It was good overall for being such an extremely short movie. It ended happy, but it was so rushed. There wasn't much time to reflect on the happy resolution. It felt like a lot of the show was done in flashbacks, which, I am not a huge fan of flashbacks at all. If so,eone were looking for something quick, simple and that ends OK it would fit the bill. It's not something I would seek out if I were in the mood for a good, well developed, romance. It's worth watching if you like any of the actors although it's hard to find a complete list of the cast it mainly just mentions the male and female leads in all the descriptions I found. I won't seek it out to rewatch there just wasn't enough of it to make it very good, but I don't regret watching it once.

Spoilers

The story definitely could've been told in much longer format and that would've made it a lot better. There were so many flashbacks that became extremely annoying. It's like just tell the story already in a forward fashion, if so much happened in the past you have to foash back every few scenes, then you should have started the story in the past. With so many flashbacks it gave a sense that a lot had happened in the past, and that was where the real love story was. So, it felt even more of a cheat for the viewer because you really only got to see a little bit of their feelings develop. They get together at the very end but it's like the last minute or somewhere they share an emotional hug (not even a kiss) and talk about what they will call each other as a couple.
