Peak's character faces allegations of being a thug, which is strange casting for such an earnest actor. I wonder if that was intentional so as not to damage a young actor's reputation. All of the actors and actresses did well but my favourite was Miusic who sparkled in her role with her vibrant smile and energy.
I did consider dropping it in the first half but it came through in the end so I'm glad I continued. For youth lakorns, I recommend The Rhythm of Life (Peak in a support role there) over this. I preferred the livelier Clean & Jerk (from the same director/screenwriter) but wouldn't be surprised if others disagreed. Clean & Jerk is notable for centring the story around physically strong women. It also had imo more interesting male characters. In this one though, aside from Sun, I found the male characters a bit cliched and much preferred the women. Just maybe something to pay attention to if you're mostly here for one young man in particular.
