Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Remake of Taiwan's 2011 phenomenon that launched a generation of Asian cinema's first-love obsession. Korea's version shifts the male gaze from worship to self-interrogation.
DAHYUN's casting bridges K-pop idol romance and indie credibility; her Sun-ah is deliberately opaque because the film insists she's real to everyone except herself. The novel's author sued over earlier adaptations.
