Heartwarming stories of 4 couples during the New Years!

As soon as I saw the cast, I knew I need to see this film! This film is filled with a list of my favorite actors and actresses and I’ve always loved seeing films that have actors and actresses I’m familiar with. In addition, I was eager to see Chen Du Ling in a Korean movie since I loved her in Left Ear!

The film was good—it was heartwarming, sweet and nostalgic. I really love a Christmas/New Years film as they are both my favorite holidays and it brought back all the good memories I always have on that particular days. The feelings depicted in this movie was great! The romance were not too overly romantic, and it was the perfect amount of sweetness and angst. The warmness radiated from the endings of those 4 incredible stories were perfect! If I had to put those 4 stories in sequence from my most to least favorite, it would be:
1️⃣ Han Oh Wol & Kim Rae Hwan (Choi Soo Young & Yoo Teo)
2️⃣ Lee Hyo Young & Kang Ji Ho (Yoo In Na & Kim Kang Woo)
3️⃣ Oh Young Chan & Yao Lin (Lee Dong Hwi & Chen Du Ling)
4️⃣ Min Jin Ah & Lee Jae Hun (Lee Yeon Hee & Yoo Yeon Seok)

Oh Wol-Rae Hwan and Hyo Young-Ji Ho’s stories were both my favorites since their stories were clear from the beginning. They both had a clear and a reasonable problem and they came up with the perfect solution to it. On the other hand, Young Chan-Yao Lin didn’t seem like they were both meant for each other. Their story became much better because of Young Chan’s super supportive and silly sister, Yong Mi (Yeom Hye Ran). The same goes to Jin Ah-Jae Hun’s story—I thought I was going to like this couple’s story best, but I just didn’t feel the chemistry between the two.

But overall, the director managed to give us 4 beautiful endings and a nostalgic firework and countdown scene which made this movie a whole lot better! Definitely recommended to watch with your loved ones (preferably during the end of the year to get the holiday season vibe!) An 8.5/10 for me! ⭐️
