    KB finally stopped acting in comedy, happy. The original soundtrack is praised, the lens is "small and fresh", but the movie is too emotional, the plot is trivial, and the behavior of the characters can't be understood, hey. . . The four stars are all given to the goddess, and I hope to receive a good movie next time.
