• Plot- or character-driven? Character

3.5

a really unique slice-of-life story centering around a divorced man living in a flat and a woman next door who has fixation on the sky blue house near them. i enjoyed the characters dynamics. well i think this is the most realistic a slice-of-life story could be. the kind of story that doesn't delve too deep to the emotional aspects but doesn't stay too shallow either. it's a light story, literally does not cause emotional pain. my issue is most of the time i had difficulty picturing the building and furniture details in my head. i know those are the main aspect of the story but i have so little knowledge about those stuffs.
