i unlike the other commenter don't think this movie is about cheaters, but a young couple coping with being married and all that comes along in a new relationship/marriage. dating while living apart can't be compared to living together and getting used to the others idiosyncrasies. both have their own idea/ideal of what/ how their spouse show be, but that isn't reality. its accepting and conforming, so u can become a unit, in order for any marriage/relationship to survive.
Young-min "cheating" episode or roaming-eye, was more like last minute jitters, cause he is committed to one woman, some get this before marriage, others several yrs after being married. it has nothing to do with him not loving her, he was just going crazy and when push-came-to-shove his subconscious called Seung-hee - Mi-young telling her he loved her, his subconscious cock-blocked him, cause he really didn't want to cheat.
Mi-young on the other hand wasn't any better, yeah she didn't kiss anyone or almost get into bed with them, but she spent the whole day prettying herself-up to go see an old crush (which after the concert - the whole scene was cringe worthy). and her fawning over Joon-soo at the cinema was also annoying, her laughing and touching him again and again even if he is someone younger that u work with - it doesn't look good, and of course ur husband would get pissed - like how she got pissed when she found out one of his "bros" was a girl. this fun and fine for a one off

this was weird on a different level. it's not a movie per-say. just short stories with no common denominator other then relationships/sex. even though i love Jang Hyeok the first story was boring, or rather (truthfully) thought the woman was a tease and annoying. but it ended with a (wishful thinking?) "happy ending" so whatever.the second one was annoying at first, like u get home once and have to play hide-n-seek with ur spouse, fine - cute - funny etc. but on a regular basis?!? it would get old fast. but then u get that she is sick and even dies but then her ghost is still around playing-hide-and-go-seek. but its endearing as she her spirit comforts him the way he needs... so cute
the 3rd was about vampires, weirder and weirder we get, guess that's what comes after death - the living death. first though it was gonna be some weird shit about abuse of power, but it took a weird turn and not lets forget the ending that turned into a cannibalistic feast. but the females had the last laugh - so female empowerment?!?
the 4th story - another twist on the weird merry-go-round, cheating dead spouse still around and the person/teen he cheated with turns into a plant that wants to serve the cheated wife as punishment for cheating on her with her husband?!? but the reason she was with the husband was cause she was into the wife all along?!? anyone???
the last wasn't weird or twisted it was just a question mark, as to why anyone in a relationship would chose this method to see how strong their relationship was. 3 couples change partners randomly and meet for the day, one couple get into sex straight away, another after a kiss part ways as they're sure they r secure in their choice of partner, the last (which i find ironic) the female who is the initiator of the idea (who seems messed up on another level, cause u get that she is/was having an affair (?) with her art teacher) and she kisses the guy in front to the same teacher, talking about how she gonna be getting it own with him and when they get to the room - kissing/attacking him, first he isn't responsive but as he gets into it she puts a stop to things. which i thought was a dick move. why start shit - he isn't a bad guy why u testing his loyalty?!? when the person u want proof from is ur bf (the first couple i mentioned) who u kind of know will be the one to cheat on u. that's why at the end 2 couple meet - while the ones from the art room don't.
to say i liked this would be a no. neither do i recommend this. was just weird. left clueless as to why i watched it. time just pasted.

talk about depressing
as there is no description anywhere (that i found) its a short movie - the farmer is a grieving widow that lost his pregnant wife , while shopping in the city for baby things. cause at the same time there was a student protest, where the cops get out their guns and a random bullet "finds" the wife - causing her to die in her husbands arms.the stabbed and bleeding student the farmer finds and saves at the start of the movie, was one of the students arrested in that protest and guessing the cops that arrested him, took him off to a remote location to finish him off - why (mystery) or not as this isn't unheard of in history.
but finding this out the farmer loses it and then somehow his hate turns to lust? cause when the students comes to seek him out, he tries to get it on with him? and i'm guessing the final act - where the student wears the dead wife's shirt and gives/offers himself to the grieving husband, is an act of sacrifice / saying sorry even though he wasn't at fault, for the cop's using violence's to suppresses the students, but this all ends in the farmers suicide?? - like confused and yet depressed
giving such low rating cause there isn't much in the way of acting or story - and even in one scene a lot could be conveyed - but left confused about what i saw, and how i feel about it. so it is what it is

first off Li Xiang just comes off as a stalker, he latches onto Xia Zhi the sec he sees him and just turns into his shadow - which i guess considering he already knows he is gay and is "struck by lightening" the sec he sees Xia Zhi... so i get it - u can't help who u r attracted too - but he is too forceful and i found it very uncomfortable to watch. plus (and here i donno if it was the translation that lacked) but Xia Zhi seems just naïve and very clueless - where his being brought to a gay bar, he is more worried if its age appropriate not even noticing that its only guys and what that means - so it felt like Li Xiang was manipulating the situation and Xia Zhi - and i didn't enjoy that feeling -
add to this Xu Chu and her crush on Xia Zhi, which isn't only mishandled but belittled and turned into a side joke by Li Xiang - which didn't make me like him anymore... if anything she was the one that handled the situation and the rejection like a mature adult, when she the same age as about both moron's.
and watching this what interested me more was Xu Yang- the kid that was being bullied and his side story - there was more there that held my interest and heart, then with what was going on with the leads - but everything was kinda rushed and wrapped up in the last episode - just cause it was the last episode and we needed a happy ending. it lacked logic or common sense and left me wondering WTF... this doesn't come close to being a good BL

maybe cause i've watched the drama, this fell short. the editing didn't do it any favors, there were parts missing that didn't flow well, a lack of info that would make scenes from one scene to the next - here were missing. so the only reason anyone would watch is (cause here the "sex" scene wasn't edited out ) which was erotic (i guess) to me it was kinda cringe, so skipped it. But after that (here) the morning after, Seung Hyun doing a runner cause he saw the ballpoint pen was a bit ridiculous IMHO.
1. the dude (supposed to be) a virgin, so when he finally does "give up his V-card", would one run out on the person u finally gave it too (?) when they were good to u & were being sweet?!? without any type of explanation. or hang around to clear the air idk anything but disappear (especially when u work together OMG, this movie was a glaring warning to why one shouldn't get involved in office romances - that's my main take-away from this...)(ノへ ̄、)
2. he finally got the hot guy he was salivating over - a guy that was out of his league (in his head). not to mention this time around it wouldn't be an unrequited love. so make it make sense that he tried to ghost Jong Chan, cause Yoo Seong didn't know he existed?!? \(〇_o)/like plz -
& after hearing out Jong Chan, talking it out with Ji Yeon (his bff) he's still passively waiting for Jong Chan to make the 1st move - why?!? cause he's the "bottom"??? i hate this b.s. trope, can't stomach it when we talking FL's in K-drama's, not gonna find a taste for it cause this a BL & we talking about an ML - like plz with this crap!
he was in the wrong, Not Jong Chan - so it was his mess to clear-up ugh with this toxic, passive personality that is the norm cause everyone else eating it up (╬▔皿▔)╯
him being cute, clueless, inexperienced, insecure, younger (or any other reason u can think of) doesn't make his actions the day after OK. & as an adult that wants to be in a relationship he should know better, apologize & work on his sh*t so people would want to be in a relationship with him (but this dramaland, so never mind~(>_<。))
on a whole this was ok - if i wanna revisit, would watch the drama - Not (!) this.

well this was different to say the least. donno where to start. hated Ki-hoon and Ga-hee, usually don't hate character's who r cheaters. but hated that they were so self involved they didn't give and f*ck who they hurt, and it was obvious by Ga-hee's showing up at Soo-hyun's recital with flowers, she wanted to "twist the knife" to make it clear to Soo-hyun she was f*cking her husband. which was vomit inducing... but the more u find out (towards the end) u get why this is a whole new level of f*cked-up.found and clicked on this cause of Han Seok Kyu - the beloved Master Kim from Romantic Doctor, his character is vastly different here - shockingly so... but guess he aint a "one trick pony". which, good for him. but this was to "raw" for me... hated the Detective character, he was a major f*cke-head, all the macho B.S. was/is annoying and not mildly endearing, so found the trunk scene hilarious (yeah evil i know), even though it turned out so gory... i smiled through every bit. usually don't care or "get" the bad ending cheaters get, but this one was justly deserved. and i really relished every bit of it. even if, after u know the whole story it may make u rethink things. i was OK with the outcome.
the only annoying bit, don't get why the wife of the murder victim walks free, when she isn't innocent?!? her husband wasn't abusive or a pervert pedo that deserved being put to death, the way he was. so that was a brow-raising moment. especially if there was justice meted out to one couple, why did she get off scot-free?!?

everyone is so hyped about this movie, and if ur only focused on the humans, then yeah very entertaining. but i can't - i get that in most if not all Asian countries let alone whales - almost every kind of living creature, can and will end up on a food menu. so maybe cause of that, the travesty against a "mother and its child", ain't no big deal to anyone who has watched this. And YEAH Get that THIS is ONLY A MOVIE - still not for me.as is this was one idiotic move after another, like Mo Hong Gap killing his subordinate cause he defended Jang Sa Jung, who's only fault was that he dared to voice his opinion, that contradicted the high commander.
then we have that f*cker that commanded the soldiers on the ship, carrying the seal. he is in the whales backyard and he feels affronted that the baby whale came up for air in the path of the ship?!? "oh what audacity". as if they're even a blimp on that creatures radar. of course the mother defended her baby. show me a mother who wouldn't?!?
from there the ball of idiocy just intensified. yeah there were funny bits and tried to ignore the anger and frustration. cause knew this sh*t would end up as a whale hunt.
even Yeo Wol "folded" after Mo Hong Gap's threat, all her talk about the whales being angels of the sea turning into B.S. - cause human life is worthier then an animals. can keep going but pretty sure whoever reads one of two line knows i didn't love this plot.
but have to say this - the end showing the baby still alive - what the f*ck was that?!? a sec before it was harpooned So Ma told Mo Hong Gap that is was a newborn, ain't no new born gonna survive alone without a mother in the vast ocean, with giant whites and load of other dangerous creatures swimming in the deep, not to mention the f*cking humans. plz that was a load of b.s.
not blaming the actors, everyone did a bang-up-job, but the story was SH*T!

all in all "ok" movie
first off - it wasn't hilarious, as i thought it would be (going by other commenters) maybe i don't get the Thai jargon or (Like in-house jokes that only a Thai person / Thai gay person would get) and yeah this was cute and had LGBTQ people in it, but to call this BL is far-fetched (in my opinion its a BL, when it involves the lead and of course his romantic interest - who is also a Boy. not the case here. well not specifically (again maybe i'm the one in the wrong, and enough that we got other gays character's to call this BL, what do i know)).anyway didn't know it was a thing in Thailand for the parents to just promise their children (adult - i mean, young children i know it even exists in China and other countries where Buddhism exists) to the temple - as in, that they will get ordained (which can be only for a short period - it not for life?!?). that was weird to me - maybe it was exaggerated for the plot?
cause get that Nong's deceased mother was the one that made that "pledge" and cause he wasn't intending to keep it, he was gonna lose his life(?) punishment for not fulfilling that "promise". and then in come his friends(?) as First was crushing on him hard - even though there was no romantic angle in this movie - no matter how hard both First and Balloon tried XD (side note - Got that was "eliminated" a few min's into the movie - what they could afford that kickass wig, that even i was envious off, but no need for teeth??? why?????? like WTF?!?)
there were a lot of loveable character's like Aod, the Novice, First and Balloon. of course the lead, Nong - but the whole plot was a bit unconvincing. get that the producers relied on the audience focusing on the funny bits - and as read a lot of comments about how" hilarious this was" they succeeded. as there is even a 2nd movie. and yet i was bored - cause for me, it was like WTF is this really the plot - and these clueless moron's r gonna figure it out, while more experienced monks either ran away or were murdered?? k well whatever - it was ok - fine had a laugh or two. if i'm extremely bored might check-out the sequel.
