My Story follows a traditional romance format that adheres to conventional genre clichés. While it offers representation by existing outside Western cinema dominance, it does not actively challenge social hierarchies. The film features a female lead with professional status, yet the narrative structure remains tied to standard romantic frameworks. The focus is on individual emotional struggles rather than broader systemic or cultural critiques. Overall, the film serves as a localized genre piece that prioritizes personal morality and romantic conflict over radical structural deconstruction.
