    Unexpectedly heartwarming and visually stunning
    I don't know what "BasicLogic" is talking about in his review. The only thing that makes sense in what he said is the fact that there are unimportant male characters that are "underwhelming", but their role is so small that it doesn't even matter. Also, why comment on script/dialogue when you clearly are from the US and are probably reading someone's subtitles? That is, in my opinion, something particularly dumb. Better to have no opinion at all, than to simply complain about something.

    The movie is very well paced. I normally watch at 1.2 speed, but had to watch this one at 1.0 because it didn't feel slow at all (and actors in Asian movies tend to talk more quickly anyway). It has a very nice structure (even for a "worn out" plot) and is far richer than I expected. It is also visually stunning, and the ending was not only packed with emotions, it was very satisfying in the way the main character handled himself. The cast is super likable and well defined.

    I would recommend this to anyone that likes a movie with a bit rivalry and personal growth. I'm quite glad I watched it even after reading it's short summary and that "simple" looking poster.
