Out of Breath (2019)

Mini‑GL poignant sur les blessures du cœur et la peur du regard des autres

Out of Breath explore avec pudeur et émotion les conséquences profondes d’une rupture liée à la peur du regard social. Ha‑Eun se retrouve blessée lorsque sa petite amie met fin à leur relation par crainte du jugement extérieur. En désarroi, elle tente de se reconstruire et fait une nouvelle rencontre via une application, ouvrant la porte à une romance fragile mais sincère.

La série est courte, mais elle ne fait pas de compromis sur l’intensité émotionnelle. Chaque scène compte, et le format mini permet une narration concentrée où les sentiments sont au centre. Les personnages sont crédibles, confrontés à leurs peurs, leurs doutes et cette pression sociale omniprésente qui pèse parfois encore plus lourd pour les couples queer dans certains contextes.

La réalisation est soignée, les idées bien pensées et l’histoire bien amenée… dommage que ce soit si court, on en redemande !

Not just a Girls love story.

There are shows which need tons of episodes to tell a story and then there are shows which need only minutes. This one falls in the latter category.
There are LGBTQ shows mostly BLs where we have guys falling for eachother more precisely being 'gay for you' with rainbows in the background, sun and stars shining bright, shippers in the show barfing confetti and darn near entire world (barring the proverbial evil 'female gender' being villanious) playing cheerleaders.
Then there are shows where everything is dark, gloomy, depressing, hopeless and yes .. just bury your gays coz that's how it rolls.
In between the two extremes there is this lovely little masterpiece which tells a sweet story without erasing the sadness and hopeless that the community faces. Yet gives out one of the most powerful emotion of the human world.
Hope!
Yes.. life sucks but here is hoping to a happy life.
And the most poignant message that we need to tattoo in our lives.. Yeah maybe world will not accept me... But I am going to accept myself. I choose to be Me.
The story is too short but i thought that is the whole charm of it. The actresses are lovely to look at. And did a great job in bringing the characters alive. Especially Min Seo. She expresses so much with just her face that dialogues become redundant. The pain seeps through the smiles. Tremendous acting.
The chemistry is adorable.
And the skinship.. toecurling.
Story.. Melts you heart, then breaks it and then makes it whole again and let it soar.
Special mention to the friend. She is one wonderful character.
This is not just a girls love story. This is a story of choosing to be who you are and choosing to be with the one who will let you be. That is.. a human who should live and love the way others do. Freely!
