The very opposite of the current Romkom-stylish, nostalgic melodrama Merry-Go-Round . Even more surface films from Hong Kong. Even more serious, I've done with this particular surface, first, point with the executed quickly wiped and wiped away hand-held camera images, with the frenetic assembly, with the bad habit of three picturesque points of view, what has also made an already looked almost too good.
