Director Statement

Everyone harbors emotions that are difficult to express for various reasons. These emotions arise easily, but expressing them is often challenging. However, whether to express them or how to do so is ultimately about staying true to oneself. This film is a love story centered on the theme of “unspoken love.” It tells the tale of discovering love, expressing it, and facing it. The protagonist, Yun, is shy but manages to write deeply heartfelt love letters. Where does the inspiration for these letters come from? By the end of the story, I hope the audience will have their own interpretation of whether Yun truly faced her emotions. The film builds emotion gradually, and as the characters reflect, I hope the audience will also reflect on their own emotions—perhaps it’s time to face them as well.
