Josee, the Tiger and the Fish

AudienceAudience: 7.2

A part-time worker at a mahjong parlour encounters a young woman who cannot walk and lives with her grandmother. As they spend more time together, friendship grows into deeper feelings while both confront the challenges of intimacy and independence.

My take

You may like this if you enjoy gentle, emotionally grounded romances such as Rainbow Song; Not for you if you want fast-paced action or a light, uncomplicated love story.
