Reception
Lee Marshall reviewing for ScreenDaily at Busan International Film Festival commented on the performance of Go Ah-sung as "The edgy, restless central performance of her brings some dramatic ballast". Marshall found the soundtrack of the film "Muzak" and character of Joo Jong-hyuk "zany". Concluding he wrote that "the film’s strongest card is the nascent feminist perspective of a young woman who wants to make her own mistakes – not the ones that [people in her life] impose upon her."[8]
James Marsh of South China Morning Post rated the film 2/5 and criticized it writing, "Unfortunately the film doesn’t live up to its promising start, and delivers a string of ill-conceived culture-clash vignettes and stereotypes".[9]
