NO REGRETS, watching this! Oh my Nam Gil Oppa! What have U done to me, haha
ALERT: Be aware of the EXPLICIT CONTENT in the movie!
**** INITIAL THOUGHTS:
Guess, some of the famous KDrama actors, did act in a BL, in their younger years.
Surprised, when found "Just friends" KD short film
n even more Surprised, when found this work of Nam Gil ! :o
That too, a Very Bold acting by Nam Gil n a lot of EXPLICIT CONTENT, Totally Unexpected !! :o 🤭
As an admirer of Nam Gil, previously expected a Bromance utmost but found a BL, OmG! :o :)
(My sleeping Fujoshi eyes and heart are drooling n blushing, haha
I need to discipline those now! 🤭)
**** THE IMPRESSIONS:
First of all, The SCREENPLAY n EDITING are really BAD.
It's like sudden cuts in scenes and dialogues, picking scenes here and there n added together to look like a story.
This spoils the mood to watch the movie but just for the actors n the story, I continued watching.
The Director and these actors went ahead n made a REVOLUTIONARY WORK in those times when it's still a taboo concept in the industry.
Their EFFORTS are to be appreciated!
Acting by both the actors is really BOLD.
Many scenes are directed like those with hidden meanings, like an art work :)
Here Young Hoon's acting n his role are very good compared to Nam Gil's.
Though being an admirer of Nam Gil, I liked Hoon's character more, haha
U, truly sympathize with his character :(
**** STORY / CHARACTERS :
The story n the charcters are well written, well acted by both.
(BTW, this story reminded me of Hollywood movie "My Pretty Woman" but that is a softer version than this.
This has got more emotional depth and struggles)
The plot is a very emotional love story, a FORBIDDEN LOVE in the times when it is not accepted by society (or spoken about, in public, without any sort of discrimination).
It's really PAINFUL TO WATCH both the MLs struggling with Life n Love.
One is rich but a closeted guy with a burden of societal expectations, pressure from strict parents n forced marriage. But can't get over his unrequited love, a love at first sight, goes to any extent to claim his lover :) (n even became a stalker too, OmG! :o)
Anyways, He is helpless! :(
While the Other is completely poor, struggling with financial problems and going to any extent, going into any profession, to get out of those troubles.
Basically, he is in a situation, where he can't even follow his heart n accept the rich guy's strong love towards him (but a secret affair) :/
He is helpless!! :(
That sad frustration n helplessness is well shown in his acting, perfomed really well.
( Requested Viewers Discretion for his profession and the Related EXPLICIT CONTENT )
Nam Gil's role initially looks like an annoying stalker but when U understand his point of view, his True situation n his strong love for Hoon's, U sympathize with him too.
Actually, He is not brave enough to go against his parents or open up to his fiancee till the end and at the same time, can't give up his Love for Hoon's.
That frustration n struggle is well performed n delivered by Nam Gil .
I really didn't understand to which character out of these two, I should feel sad n bad :|
All their intimate scenes are VERY NATURAL and REALISTIC.
They have a lot of sweet kisses n their lovey dovey scenes though very limited, are sweet.
Their piggy back walks are cute :)
**** SPOILER ****
The TWIST in the story is when both took an "extreme step" to claim their love back or avoid their stalker lover (using violence / Guns :o ) and failed, haha.
And what's with the climax :o
Why on the Earth, does One plan a MURDER SKETCH for love !? :O
I find this as a Funny n Scary idea, haha.
Yeah, there are psychopathic people who murder their lover, take extreme steps for love when not reciprocated.
But here, both of them are just softies, incapable of any sort of violence, they are just frustrated n so didn't expect a turn in their characters arcs, for love to these extremes.
SURPRISED !! :o haha.
**** ENDING:
Expected a Sad ending for this forbidden love but surprisingly, a Very Happy Ending :)
That reconcilation in the end, is a funny and sweet moment! :) 🤭
**** RATING:
I am sucker for emotional stories, haha
Though painful, I watch them a lot n later admire them, if found them to the mark😏
So just for the Nam Gil n Young Hoon's acting and the beautiful emotional story, my Rating is 8.5 / 10.
Else should be 5, for the bad editing.
(Editing really spoilt the potential reach of the movie and the actors, I guess)
NO REGRETS, watching this! :)
Oh my Nam Gil Oppa! :)
What have U done to my poor heart now!! 🤭
**** My Admiration for Nam Gil :) :
I fell in love with his acting from crime thriller "Through the Darkness" :)
n then "The Fiery Priest "
n so on.
He is a PROLIFIC actor! :)
Introvert analysing criminals (Through the Darkness) to
Fiery smiley (comedic in The Fiery Priest) to
Emotional One side lover (stalker, here),
The variations in his roles are amazing,
SURPRISED ME alot.
U can clearly see the differences in each role in his acting.
And so the saga of me, watching every drama of his, started , haha
If he is in a project, I'm in! :)
