A sudden flight issue takes Freddie to Korea instead of her original destination, Japan. Until then, Korea has been nothing but a neighboring country to Japan or another option for a destination in a trip to Northeast Asia, though she has not forgotten the fact that this is the country from which she had been adopted to France and where her biological parents live. Since her first ‘accidental’ visit to the country, Freddie has come to Seoul every few years and changed to a very different person each time. As if she played different characters in different movies, her outfits, hairstyles, and the way she treats Korea and her biological parents vary little by little. Instead of highlighting the moment of ‘reunion’ and its spectacle along the way, the director Davy Chou tries to balance the theme of ‘overseas adoption’ and the character-based storyline by showing Freddie, onto the cinematic timeline, at different angles each time she ‘returns’ to Seoul.
