Not BL & for sure Not a Gay Romance
this was an interesting concept & well acted BUT idk why it was tagged as Gay Romance, if anything given the ending, its made very clear that there is only straight love, period. as Seo In Woo's spirit asks In Tae Hee's spirit "...& what if in the other incarnation i am born a girl..." & laughing she answers "...i guess i'll wait again." basically saying i can do is love u.. But only if we r the opposite genders(?) then we can have a life together & this BL??? nope.
i found this depressing, i get that when it's ur 1st love & ur madly infatuated, then that person ups & disappears, u r left floundering & yearning for that person & answers... as i haven't experienced anything of the sort, hard to image myself in a similar situation - also not a hopeless romantic, plus pessimistic, lol - so seeing an adult lose it in one sec, left me cringing, it wasn't the gender swap that bothered me - it was the age difference.
Seo In Woo is the adult & the teacher, Hyeon Bin was his 17ys old student. like what was he thinking?!? the wife & child sadly is a non-issue, as if u r gonna cheat, u will cheat & having a family has never stopped cheaters. but here Seo In Woo was losing it -
it's like the only thing he saw was Hyeon Bin, he was almost like an addict. he didn't care about where he was or how others would react given his position & behavior, let alone that he was basically wooing a student. it was messed-up.
but as there was never gonna be a "happily ever after" (as In Tae Hee's current incarnation was male), i guess waiting until Hyeon Bin was an adult was not an option. but then i ask how the frack did a 17yr old just up & leave with a stranger, travel to another country?? also couldn't they just live their lives out & then when they die, reincarnate & seek each other out?!? cause sorry, but if u take ur own life, u get punished, no?!? In Tae Hee didn't kill herself - that ending was whack. sorry
even today Korea isn't open to the LBG life style, so i get why the movie turned out as it did, but the conclusion was weak - if anything - if u really wanna show us, how much u love each other. u will find a way to life & tough it out. suffer in this current incarnation, being together & yet apart (cause ur both male) & then maybe u will get rewarded in the next incarnation - oh well it is what it is... it was fine for a one off
side note: really enjoyed see a bucket load of actors look so freakin young
