What happened ten years ago in GUIDANCE was an actual war, and what happens ten years later is still a war. It just changed to a quieter approach. But the damage isn’t any less. The aim of this new ‘war’ is not  physical territory and resources, but inner territory:  our loved one’s soul. What can be more devastating?

……..

The characters’ behavior is akin to totalitarian action in the name of love. It claims to be in the name of connection, understanding, and empathy. But in fact it is controlled and distorted. Guised as loyalty, this behavior means endlessly asking one’s love for authority to their inner world. But even that is not enough. You must also retain the right to interpret this authority, and by extension, to interpret the inner world of the other party.

……..

Searching for lies and pursuing truth, once it has been transformed into a need, cannot be put back in the bottle. Therefore, love may also be manipulated, and it can also become a secret collusion. If it succeeds with two people in one room, it can be extended to the world.

……..

GUIDANCE deftly navigates complex issues while touching on the philosophical pitfalls of lies, good and evil, hypocrisy and truth. In order to explain this series of issues, the story builds a tension, from the truth of the world war ten years prior, to the game between lovers, to the story of heroine. But at the end of the story, it is not the truth that sets you free, but a melancholic brutal destiny.
