I unfortunately cannot digest the possibility that one can find love in their deceased boyfriend's brother. It is possible and plausible but I emotionally cannot fathom it. Both the brothers dying by suicide was lazy writing. Why would Jae Hee kiss Min Ki the first night? A random person who looks like his deceased boyfriend? In short I didnot understand this. The narrative had potential, shared grief, death, moving on etc. But the execution was sloppy.
A hard hitting 2006 story that takes you on a roller coaster ride. It is powerfully scripted and very, very well…
Totally agree with you. I was holding my breath while the movie was unfolding. I was so not hoping for an end where the one of the leads die (cause that's what they do, right) But they had to kill Ga Ram. I loved it. Absolutely loved it. I will re-watch for sure.
Brilliant! A romance which turns into a thriller and then again a romance. Loved it. The director is amazing in catching the passion, frustration and deapair of the lead couple! I will watch it again.
I didn't enjoy this one. Was too long and disjointed for my liking. Timeline jumps like anything and it's upto the viewer to figure it out. Which I am ok with but this one felt just lazy (to me). And in 2017 SK is still making movies with main characters dying by suicide due to social ostracization for being gay. It did not sit well with me. If it is still the reality, then I am sorry but I prefer not to subject myself to watching such movies.
Ep. 6 was amazing! It gave me hope a miracle can happen and the world will not end :)
Yes it was! And it might happen (the miracle I mean)! The thing that was going through my head while I was thinking about the miracle was, if the world is saved would Ritsu's way of life change? Would he go back to being the character he was (selfish/toxic/narcissictic etc. etc.) or would he be able to build a loving relationship with Masumi? My thinking is no, he will not change and go back to being himself cause it takes a LOT to change a person like this. But then again it can be MIRACLE and he can start fresh :). Ya, thinking too much, I know. In any case, the show, in my oipnion, is amazing!
