So-hee's journey in 'After Storm' is a quiet but intense exploration of family and emotional turmoil. The atmosphere is heavy, reflecting the brewing typhoon, which serves as a metaphor for the chaos in her life. The relationship between So-hee and her father, Su-hyuk, is strained yet tender, complicated further by the presence of his boyfriend. The film's pacing feels deliberate, allowing moments of reflection that linger in the air, similar to the dying fish in the farm. This stark backdrop creates a distinctive sense of dread and anticipation. The performances have a raw authenticity, pulling you into their world, and the practical effects of the storm add a layer of realism to the unfolding drama, keeping it grounded amidst the emotional upheaval.
