I once met with Director Hong. Immediately after its release, critics and foreign media praised it as ``a movie that passes by you like a breath of fresh air,'' ``a movie that shows Hong Sang Soo in every shot,'' and ``a movie that makes you feel tired.''
It received positive reviews, with people saying, ``The movie best displays the sense of playfulness and incomprehensibility of an unknown Korean writer.''
