I have been missing Vegas _ Pete 😊. This reel couple's fate sealed by the controversies of real life!

'but this is BL so reality doesn't apply here' ... perfectly said !!!!!

What was that ending?! I didn't expect this one to be this intense. The school incidents are so real; adolescent hearts with raging hormones often blurring the line between right and wrong, cruelty and fun, that story is the part that touched me the most. The bigger story of finding meaning in life was also important but I did not like the ending. Not because the Angel disappeared, that's a given, but the makers kept on trying to give it a happy ending by pushing for them to meet again??!!! It beats the purpose imo. On top of it a 30 something man with a high-schooler didn't sit well with me. Well the angel probably doesn't have any age and that's my prejudice probably, however I did not like that part. The last 1 min was unnecessary imo. It took away from the drama for me. The guy already learnt his lesson and viewers got the message. So to leave it on a suspense note hanging did a disservice to the series all together. I would rather have a minute of screen time where Koki lived his life to the fullest ! Again all of these are my feelings, I am sure many enjoyed it.

He had to die for all of this to come to focus. This is modern day tragedy.

In the face of despair some much needed actions.

Like the dialogue in the movie, it was all self inflicted misery for the characters. Its an OK one time watch movie.

I had to fast forward through the last episode just to finish! a let down for me.

I liked it. It was short, sweet and somewhat unreal 😊.

Came across this article from YHI fb fan page. I do not have words to describe the frustration I feel.

I liked this quite a lot. There were certain things not believable in terms of police work. I didn't expect such sloppyness from a movie of such caliber. However nothing is perfect in life so I ignored that. I liked the protagonist and the way she dealing with her Life. If I write more it will be giving away spoilers.

😁😅🤣

Yes I did!! 😀 the last scene where the boy was swimming was an old scene, no? And then previous to that the boy rushed to rescue someone, so my over active imagination thought, did he die? 😀😃🙂🙃

Did the boy die or what?!!

Fun watch!

Ya, that love angle was also what did not work for me. Aood on the other hand was a complex, real character with many flaws and the realization that he was wrong on so many levels. He was trying to let go of his guilt and he did it the way he thought he could. I don't think it came from a selfless place. I think he was trying to let go of his guilt and hence primarily being selfish. Dunno. he was complex and a pleasure to look at . He went to through considerable physical transformation for this role. I commend the actor.

Agreed!

The 10 year long love angle was completely unnecessary imo. It took away from the strength of the story.

What a scum bag of a character this Song Joon is!!! I am done watching gay characters meeting their 'destined' destruction in SK dramas and movies!!

An article about the movie in the Japan Times:
