The fun of this work comes from the irony of the premise itself. The structure is that people who decided to part because they could not stand each other's flaws meet again without remembering those flaws. The character setups, Jeong-yeol, who has intelligence and looks but was also born with a pathetic streak, and Na-ra, who has ability and a career but also an eccentric temperament, are built so that every time the two clash it brings laughter. The situation in which a couple facing a breakup must get to know each other all over again from the start holds romance and comedy together in a single scene. Because it carries the deadline 'D-30,' curiosity about where the relationship is heading grows as the remaining days shrink.
The running time is 119 minutes and it is available on Wavve by subscription. Since it layers the device of memory loss on the familiar grammar of the romantic comedy, it lets you laugh lightly while also making you think about the weight memory carries in a couple's relationship.
What to watch for
- 01
The key point of interest is how the two see each other anew once the memories of being sick of each other disappear.
- 02
Because both lose their memories in the same way, it becomes a symmetrical comedy in which both wander lost, rather than a setup in which only one is deceived.
- 03
With a fixed deadline of 30 days until the breakup, the story proceeds in a clear countdown structure.
A fitting work for those who want to enjoy a romantic comedy about a bickering couple without pressure.
