Plot

A young writer can't write a word for his next novel, he also doesn't feel right with his fiancée; because he falls in love with a woman, but he can't remember who she is and can't figure out if she's real or just a dream.

Sinekatalog’s take

A blocked young writer falls for a woman he cannot place, unsure whether she is real or a dream. The film is visually dazzling and loves its fog of memory. A feast for fans of stylish, ambiguous Korean romantic thrillers.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
