Acting, cinematography and direction are all great hence the score. However, it is so slow and with a runtime of almost two hours it feels much longer. With a script that matches the ponderous pacing it falls apart very quickly and becomes almost depressing in its nature, which is somewhat ironic.

Great acting from all but a ponderous and boring tale
Heartbreaking
This story featured, science fiction, drama and romance together with a tragic ending. It portrayed how someone can become so commited to an idea, that the lines between reality and imagination just fades away. It also explored the way in which we can be manipulated and betrayed by the ones who we trust, with those things that we hold most preacious. Although the thought of chlorophyl merging with blood cells was somewhat far fetched, the writers' style, the acting, the cinematography and the manner in which all other real subjects were developed in the "Glass Garden" was very entertaining. I am delighted that I took the time to watch this movie. Well do Shin Su-Won and Im Chung-Geun.❤
