If you loved A Short Love Affair, try The Road to the Racetrack
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Jang Sun-woo, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to A Short Love Affair, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Road to the Racetrack is
Here's a film that sets out to be a love story, possibly of the tortured variety. R arrives back from his studies in France, finding his old Parisian roommate J. They proceed to have feelings, or at least intense conversations. It's nice to see that some things don't translate across cultures.
