Apparently, kids in Korea have to attend a mandatory 24months stints as an army, where they have to be away from their girlfriend, friends and families to live in a boot camp during the stints. This film is a portrayal of the kids and about their relationship with their girlfriends. About the changes when they were away from each other for that long period of time.

This film has no central characters, but instead is a collective stories of many characters, intertwined in a jumbled up story. However, this isn't a very hard story to follow, it's pretty simple to grasp the gist of the film, but one may feel like it lacked something because instead of pushing a conviction to the audience, the film left the viewers to relate the story to themselves and how they would want the film to unfolds.

This film shows a glimpse of the youth culture of the Koreans. However, whether is it a true culture or rather just a hyped up culture meant to make this film more interesting, I do not know.

It's hard to give a rating for this film, though. Giving it a high rating would mean that I like this kind of genre, but to give it a poor rating would not justifiable because this film has many strong points, especially the great casting and the mixture of good laugh and sad moments.

It's a personal preference, some may like it, some may not.
