Director Kim Jeong-hyeon constructs the narrative on a deliberate contrast, transitioning a light teen comedy into a story with dramatic weight. He relies on the authentic performances of the young leads to explore the emotional journey from shock to tender resolve, skillfully avoiding overt sentimentality.

What lingers after the credits is a surprisingly warm and gentle feeling, a story about responsibility that chooses heart over harsh lessons. It’s a film that believes in the goodness of its characters. — MovieFinder Editorial
