Overall, I liked the movie.
It has this chill vibe and makes you reflect on people with hearing loss. Most of the film is in sign language, which I thought was amazing.

Yong Jun (played by Hong Kyung, an incredible actor) is such a lovable character—I absolutely loved this guy.
Seo Gaeul (Kim Minju, who I just discovered today after watching this movie) is such a supportive and lovely sister! I loved her character.

- A few critiques -

I didn’t like how Yong Jun was the only one who showed interest and concern for Yeo Rum (Roh Yoon Seo, who’s an amazing actress, by the way). It felt like the feelings weren’t mutual.
Also, what she said to him after the fire kinda rubbed me the wrong way... Like, she told him it wasn’t his fault, but then immediately said he was exhausting her and she didn’t want to talk to him anymore? That didn’t sit right with me.

I thought Yong Jun’s love confession to Yeo Rum was beautiful, but it lost some of its meaning with the plot twist that Yeo Rum was actually a hearing person.
The scene where he puts on noise-canceling headphones showed how much he wanted to understand Yeo Rum better, but... she was hearing. 😭
I think the plot twist could’ve been something else—it would’ve worked better.

I really liked the part where Seo Gaeul (Kim Minju) argued with her sister about her dreams and how she felt. It’s a wake-up call for people who tend to forget about their own lives to prioritize someone else’s.

There should’ve been a deeper explanation of how Yong Jun spoke sign language so fluently. For most of the movie (up until this super shallow explanation near the end), I was left wondering how he was so fluent.

The "secondary couple" that only officially met in the post-credits scene felt unnecessary. They should’ve developed them more or just left them out entirely.
