What Is Bitter Sweet About?

The premise of Bitter Sweet without spoilers.

A young couple in love prepares to marry, but, contrary to the usual trope, the bride experiences a bout of cold feet and turns to an older man for advice. His own failing marriage leaves him ill‑equipped to counsel her, and as he yields to her advances, he ultimately allows her to seduce him, further entangling their lives and blurring the lines between mentorship and temptation, ultimately complicating both relationships.
