Feel-good romance lacks distinctive voice and a real heart
I don't have much to say about this film except that it's cute, adorable and wholesome. It's a bit dragged sometimes or perhaps I was just looking for more specificities. Conversations are mostly backed up with whimsical music. I don't have a problem with this as the dialogues felt authentic and genuine at times. However, this does not add up to the story's conflict. It felt like both the conflict and characters were not set up properly.
The shots and cinematography could have been also more unique and creative to make it memorable and compelling. The story does not try to be groundbreaking either. This is just supposed to be a feel-good movie although I would have loved if there were more touching moments to evoke emotions considering the story revolves around deaf people.
The story starts with Yong Jun unsure of what he wants to do in life. He's surrounded with philosophy books but he doesn't know what job to apply for. By the time we get to the end, nothing has changed. He's the main character but we didn't get to know much about his thoughts and background except that he instantly fell for Yeo Reum when he saw her in the swimming pool. This is the moment where the puppy love story starts to unfold. The film also noticeably shifts it focus to Yeo Reum's point of view after this part. More or less, Yeo Reum is a more round character than Yong Jun. We digged into Yeo Reum's background and personality but only to a certain extent and here is where my main issue lies. Her character lacks a distinctive voice and is not fleshed out as I want her to be.
The storyline is fairly simple and is quite the epitome of young love. Although the film could have had more earnest and compelling scenes just to fully give us that warm, fuzzy feeling inside.
