the most realistic portrait of growing up 2nd gen chinese american such as wang wang's mom raising them by herself and her ambivalence towards her children and the life she ended up choosing, blatant comparisons between other children made directly in front of them, but I will say the mom felt wildly unrealistic because which Asian immigrant mother would have this much patience and sympathy...
nai nai catastrophizing that wang wang's injured eye = blind = no college = no…
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
was on the edge of my seat the entire time and really loved the complex characters and and chemistry between jiwoo and pildo (</3). need another crime thriller drama like this
how this movie is classified as a thriller is laughable. . . i understand it's symbolic but this was so painfully slow and i was not engaged nor did i care for any of the characters throughout the movie. also did not know this was based on a murakami story but i despise the ambiguity and the portrayal of the female lead which are both very murakami. 2.5 hours of my life i'll never get back.
