The film’s main highlight is its unique idea of ‘creating fate’ as a job. It follows a company that arranges chance encounters in the city and explores the question of how much of love is truly by chance and how much is real. At first, it may seem like a comedy, but as the story progresses, the main character experiences a love he cannot plan, and the story gradually turns into a human drama. The moment when a man who usually creates fate is himself swept up by it is one of the key points of the film. The movie also features many scenes of carefully arranged coincidences in the city and a variety of colorful characters. We hope viewers enjoy this slightly magical and romantic world.
