A great and relatable story, but bogged down by the performance
Overall, it was a nice, visually clean minidrama with a great message of not forcing yourself to follow the status quo. In it, we get to know Sarang as she encounters continuous pressure to date at the age of 20. Something that I think most singles, especially women, can relate to. Overall, she was quite relatable: a big foreign tv show lover, a busy student and hard worker, a foodie, a cat lover, and a loyal friend.
However, despite the good messages and quotable lines, I wasn't consistently sold by the performance. It didn't always feel quite natural or genuine. And the overarching framing, where Sarang is telling this story in some sort of interview, wasn't well established. And because of it, felt like a cop out to show her thoughts and distract from how her performance didn't keep us immersed in the story.
I came for the open-to-interpretation aroace story, of which this did have some reoccurring moments that resonated, but ultimately stayed for the quotability of the dialogue and the precious cat.
