I have to say, only Japan can make a movie like this, it was really heavy and pretty detailed, obviously this is not a theme for everyone, I'm not saying I enjoyed watching it but I also don't regret doing it, like the comment below says, I like that they didn't romanticize anything, in the end it was not only a heavy erotic film but it also portrayed depth towards the characters instead of just being pornographic, it was a very dark movie and of course ends with "stockholm syndrome" from Makoto's side
I didn't even care about the end, I CAN'T STOP CRYING XI GU AND HAO TING FULFILLED THEIR PROMISE TT-TT I'LL NEVER GET OVER THAT SCENE, MY POOR HEART IS HEALED NOW TT-TT
I'm sure he's in a better place now
