    this one is good. besides the cast's acting, which is no need to questioned it, i like it because the plot is quite dense and solid—something often forgotten in thriller-mystery dramas. you'll be guessing throughout the episodes about the clarity of the main case until the final episode. most importantly, just ignore the cgi at the end.

    what's the earlist memory you can remember?

    a slow-burning movie that draws you in, making you eager to see how the characters grow and evolve as the story unfolds. it’s a realistic and comforting film where you can’t help but love every character. i especially love how this movie cherishes the female lead, yo, and her relationships with those around her—how she navigates new and unexpected experiences with grace, embracing them with a smile.

    let's go see it together some day. skeleton flowers.
