This is possibly the best quote from the Korean film More than Blue.
The story is related twice - first from the eyes of the dying, and apparently lovelorn K, then that of blissfully 'innocent' Cream. While the structure might have taken inspiration from the 2002 French film He Loves Me, He Loves Me not, it feels refreshing and gripping as it is in the latter part we realise how little both K and we know about Cream, who otherwise might have appeared heartlessly indifferent to K's care, affection and love. The scene following her accidental discovery of K's fatal illness is most heartbreaking: there she is standing on her own in a cold day - with the background dissolving to darkness, and in her front, a car is driving away with K looking back with her deceased mother and sister.
More than Blue provides ample room for Kwon Sang-woo to showcase his versatility as an actor in this considerate and gentle character K. His confident performance has certainly added emotional depth to the sad romance between two orphans.
