Director's Note
Human relationships are like a seesaw. Lovebirds tell the story of the imbalance that can occur when two people are involved in a love affair based on destructive tendencies. Despite this, the two characters view their relationship as something exceptional, and while they don't expect anything more from it, they enjoy it with all their hearts. However, when one of them decides to end the relationship, the other is left in limbo, waiting for closure or an anticipated future together. This film highlights the difficulties of accepting the end of a relationship. For many people, this is where loneliness begins.
