This one really meanders, and has ample room for an editor's shears. It suffers from a little indie quirky-for-quirky's-sake-ness. There are some funny and touching moments, but they mostly just balance out the agitation you feel at regular Yojin's scenes. He's an ADHD-addled child of 25 and, while some of his antics are fun, most are at least a little grating. The unexplained in the 3rd act and the ambiguous ending don't wrap this up in a nice package.
