This is the first film I watched in 2023, and even though I didn't expect too much from it, the bar was set high.

I've read some reviews and noticed quite a bit of variety in interpretations of "3-Iron". Which I think is very cool and confirms that Kim Ki Duk did not give the viewer a clear explanation of his vision.

The story itself is a bit weird but very engaging. If there is anyone in the world who would react to a stranger in their house like the FL, I would be surprised, but that's the whole point of this film. It wasn't meant to be just another ordinary story with the probability of happening in real life. This is an unbelievable picture of "love at first sight". The main characters communicated without words. They didn't say anything to each other throughout the movie. This made Lee Seung Yeon and Jae Hee's acting stand out in itself. They didn't need any words to play their roles perfectly and show a lot of emotions. It also gave the impression of watching this film as something more private for the viewer. Interestingly, only characters who were or could be an obstacle to the relationship of the main characters had spoken.

I have to mention that the music fits perfectly with the story presented in the film. I checked the translation of the text (song: Natacha Atlas - Gafsa) and it also really fits the presented relationship.
