There is famous Korean Director with the same name. He uses the nickname to distinguish himself.

He is an influencer and is asked by independent film makers to be in their projects because Gays in Korea know and adore him. He makes a living showing up places, playing music in his Insta posts, and showing people what kind of serums and underwear he has on. He is reportedly very sweet to his fans and a kind person. He seems to be doing very well, so I don't think he'll worry too much about the state of your opinion on his project appearances, nor mine.
mMy opinion about any openly out Gay person in Korea is that as long as he is not doing any harm, he's a hero.

Plenty of people have plenty to say about this movie. And the lengths to which they go to say some basic nothingness describes who they are more than their take on the movie, good or bad. This isn't Scorsese or Kurosawa, it's a little teen drama remake.

My take away, I'm going to be watching for anything with Jo Yoo Jung, she was, for me, by far the stand out actor in this movie.

Your review of the movie can be equally applied to your review. Especially the entire last paragraph. It seems like a mirror pointed at a microphone mounted on a speaker in the middle of a canyon. Mega Uktra Meta.

Ugh.

TLDR, but most dramas require the watcher to engage in some suspension of belief. This review however expects the reader to suspend the fact of watching the movie. just paying g attention proves that the review was written without watching the movie carefully. As many others have pointed out, most of your questions/complaints were answered by the story or had nothing to do with the story.

When we criticize an author or screenwriter for not answering questions or addressing issues they never intended to, it is like calling Rembrandt a hack for not using fluorescent. It didn't have anything to do with what he was painting. A nonsense critique.

Seems like a case of Too Arrogant Didn't Watch.

Doesn't include "The Promise"? Awe Poo.
