talk about a mind-f*ck. first off what kind of wrapped play did that Won-ho dude, write?!? one freaky weirdo mind he's got. and Hee-won, why do females put up with this kind of sh*t, as she said - this wasn't the first time, why she surprised that his counterpart being male would stop him?!?
as is actors need to be gender-fluid, especially if they want to do all kinds of roles to get awards and be recognized as "great". they can't be uptight about roles. so the title and the acting was apt.

i think Yeong-woo's character was indeed in love, maybe he's bi or even if he was straight, i think the turning point was at the start where Jae-ha forced him to get into the role by physically pulling him out of his chair and then acting out the scene with him, his tears were real.
i think cause of the accident or maybe the life of an idol was getting old, he was apathetic to it all. but when Jae-ha took a hold of him physically, that was the start for him, from there on everything he did was not only to get close but to tease and awaken the same attraction in Jae-ha.
in the play - his acting as if he had really acted out the plays storyline on Jae-ha and his gf, was to punish Jae-ha for denying his feeling and acting as if his confession and the time they spent together affirming their love, was only acting. this was sad but also showed a side of acting that most know about, but gloss over. this was well acted and an interesting watch -

total fan-service

this was a lengthy commercial more then a short movie - the plot was explained in the description - if u saw this without reading it, u would be wondering what's going on (well at the start). as the Ghost didn't seemed apparition like, he could touch and seemed real - so what was ghost like about him? other then Singto's reaction?

yeah Krist was having a ball and he was enjoying his role - where he was the assertive, playful one as opposed to his role in Sotus, and Singto was more subdued. it was cute and fun - wasn't a boring moment - and as the leads have great chemistry and know how to act, it was a fun watch - but to give it 10 stars, is a bit of a reach - as much as i love the couple - nah. sorry.

get the point of this drama was to educate people, about being prejudice towards other people or issues without really knowing what's involved - let along judging and condemning them - but this is where things fall short - lack of information or the conclusions people jump too, can be cleared up - but why not talk about how not to do whack sh*t to begin with? and for sure everyone needs to get that actions have consequences - its not about freakin Stigma, but logic!

we have Lei the main character who is by far the best of the bunch, not cause he is flawless - but cause he is a caring, loving, big hearted, individual that is capable off putting his friends before himself. even when he has a load of personal sh*t to deal with... yet he can be selfless and considerate, just cause they r his friends and they need him at that sec. not a lot of people r capable of that. so yeah great guy - but for a person who can't keep going on and on, about the lack of privacy and how fans and the public at large, tend to butt-into his personal affairs - not respecting his privacy - this whole drama starts off with our main lead airing pretty personal sh*t about his 3 best friends, (and himself) on his Vlog - talk about hypocrisy !? this whole plot line is one big contradiction -

all of the friends and their problems, r things they caused with their own hands - actions and now they have to deal with the consequence's - as u do in life. but we r getting lectured not to judge - Harry is a tease and a conman that gets money out of gay guys while flirting with them online, or meeting up and allowing them to pleasure him - where and if he draws a line, is unknown. Kian is in need of money and loves sex, so presto why not offer his service's as an escort, as u do - pleasure and income all in one - the fact that sexual workers r treated like garbage - is news to whom? that they get abused and used, news to whom? u need to work in the industry to know how vile it is?!??? so that's what happens, only "cherry on top" he gets infected with HIV - and last we got Nick (who have to say, still don't get what his beef with his dad was) but he an addict - so these 3 guys walking on the road of life, see an open pothole, kept walking on and now that they r deep in sh*t - they r astounded that they can't levitate???

i personally don't get the point of this drama - u can't stop people from coming to conclusions or wagging their tongues - but if this drama was about finding out who ur true friend was, and that they would be there in a time of need and stand-by-u no matter what, then yeah great cause they all had each other, or basically they all had Lei. i won't re-watch this or a second season - well maybe if i'm hella bored - they didn't enlighten me in anyway - it was whatever...

well this was a really disappointment - but i think given the plot what did i except?!? a miracle maybe - yeah that's what i hopped would happen, that the writer was a magician who would "pull a freakin unicorn out of their hat" so it fell short or was predictable, as i was the moron who expected miracles...

first off if u got a plot where the bf is double timing with siblings, do u except a good ending? so my first paragraph makes sense?!? cause that's basically the plot - and yet we get a good ending - so calling B.S. - cause Nah! and thats also why even though i was watching the last episode i just stopped cause i couldn't sit there and keep watching total crap -

yeah its also about self-discovery and acceptance... but also of being messed-up and coming to wrong conclusions - not to mention being so self involved, u don't consider or care for others feeling u r so involved in ur own. and there really isn't any redeemable qualities to the mains.
so the brother choses escapism, instead of manning up and enduring the punishment and anger he deserves, the other moron choose to burn the bridge and everything else around, cause he has final realized who he is and he can't "go down" alone - so everyone must suffer as much as he is - why? no rime or reason - sorry this was a load of crock!
everything was just off - there was no common sense used, no logic between action and reaction... so this is a just NOPE

side note - yeah the actor playing Barry is HOT - but i really didn't why "they" had to objectify him so much, it was getting gross -

even though this is tagged, comedy and yeah its funny- but its weird funny and the exaggeration is fun when it breaks up a really monotone scene, or its unexpected. but there r character's that r just "out there" and then their ability to be funny falls short and turns annoying. like props to the guy that plays Miss Becky (as took me a sec to even "get" that it was a dude playing a woman, just felt she was a bit off - but thought more, she a weirdo not a man in drag) but dude was having too much fun, and it got tedious watching this moron prance around supposedly cleaning the house, heck Cinderella never twirled around as much as Miss Becky - it was bordering or ludicrous. so much so that i just skipped scenes with her.

and if that wasn't enough the product placement is ridiculous - like i get it's every drama's "bread and butter" - but here we had Ken, Sky's brother who only existed so he could promote sh*t on his "youtube channel" and he and everyone else found even more opportunities to plug more sh*t - so yeah another character that i just fast-forwarded..

the reason a lot of viewer's r going a bit bonkers about this drama, or this couple (i think) is because of the "chemistry" between the leads - and they certainly had no hang-ups, about being two guys in intimate situations. it was hot and looked natural - so much so everyone was Sure they a real life couple - cause there's no way they could perform the way they did (endless kissing scenes, let along total erotic make out sessions) without be really being into it or each other - and considering the other BL couples, an how they usually balk instead of commit to a kiss, this was hmmm "refreshing" XD...
but i noticed both actors were mirroring each other, so i think they just choreographed the hell out of those scenes - just like a dance or fight scene - which is logical, and little wonder everyone had steam coming out of their ears and other orifices XD...

all in all this was good and fun (heck lasted until episode 12) and there were great character's that added to the plot but when the ending is basically a copout - where everyone needs to play Jesus, cause that's the right thing to do and a person that wasn't just bad, but down right evil and a very unstable mentally basically got away with murder cause.. well i didn't get the logic - just lost the will to keep watching for even a sec more - this was a disappointment..

this was bitter sweet - really really wish there was more, cause this was Really good. 1st off the actress playing Hikari is just beautiful - not in the conventional way, cause her looks r totally androgynous, from head to toe and that's what makes her unique - the more i looked at her, the beautifuller she became. heck felt i could look at her for hrs. she did a great job (looks aside).

from the start, the tactlessness of people was disturbing, considering how aware we all r of the different/diverse people existing on this planet. and the fact that, cause someone is not a carbon-copy of u, doesn't make them "less" or abnormal. so an innocent trivial request to use the restroom, shouldn't make people uneasy and yet it does. always reminding her that she isn't seen as "normal". and as this is the start, the tone is set and thus i goes from one moronic encounter to the next. where curiosity get's the better of a customer asking if she really is a man "...cause she got big hands." (like seriously). but Hikari keeps rising above. so little wonder the only place she really is comfortable in her own skin, is around other trans women and "their" pub.

as the plot is Hikari reuniting with old classmate Takashi an unrequited love from high school. business takes her to her hometown and as she feels ready to face him and "come out". she decides to agree to a meet-up, ironically the one to get the surprise is Hikari. as Takashi might have made the date, but the moron invites the whole class and u can only guess at how tactless that group of moron's was (considering it was an all boy's school). and again Hikari sufferers in silence, the tactless jokes and rude remarks, always smiling and ignoring - rising above...

so i needed a 'happily ever after' for Hikari. but i guess her walking tall, not letting small minded moron's get to her, is a positive end - loved this (yet need more) for sure a rewatch.

this more or less the same as the 1st season, just this time u start to see more of who Hin really is as a person. not that likeable - and now i get why he connected with Yiu, as the saying goes "like attracts like", Hin is all about Hin, and that would be fine. his only priority in life is his music career and finding a way to get recognized - that's fine. everyone has the right to prioritize whatever... but what i really dislike, is the constant pity party he keeps throwing himself, with that hang-dog look - like he the injured party that has been wronged. he hurt Hugo by giving him false hope, that maybe this time he would be open for more - considering they were bff's.

i get when he was a teen, getting kissed by a guy he considered his "brother", spooked him and as he didn't know how to deal. he just ran and pushed Hugo away - wasn't nice, but when u don't have the tools = maturity to deal with a situation, u run away and try to avoid it. but that was then - what is his damage now?!? especially after Hugo cleared the air - he still unsure of what he wants? of how he feels?!? and lets face facts - he keeps saying it's one sided and he can lie to himself and everyone else. but watching the interaction between him and Hugo at the end of season 1. u could see - clear as day(!) he was lusting after Hugo and Wanted Hugo to kiss him. when Hugo stopped, apologized and left - Hin was the one, floundering - looking around like he "lost". cause He wanted to be kissed by Hugo! now he telling everyone it's one sided and he doesn't feel a thing - b.s - but fine

this whole drama was Hin going from one person to the next, getting an ego massage - and as most of the people he turned to were guy's that were sexfriend's - they were interested in getting off, so they placated him, telling him whatever he wanted to hear. just so he would stop playing "hard to get" and get with the program - plus he was as into "getting it on". that's the whole problem - he isn't looking for anything permanent - he just doesn't want to seem "lose" so he puts on an act, as if the guys he's with manipulate him into having sex. but he wouldn't go to meet them in secluded places, let alone hotel rooms if he wasn't as into getting down and dirty with them. cause when push comes to shove, not the one had to "shove" that hard lol...

and the cherry on this selfish cake was him telling Hugo he wanted him as he was, a brother that took care of him - bottom line he wanted someone who gave and never expected anything in return. cause his soul focus is on his career - which again fine, but then don't act like no body care's or worse everyone unappreciative and ignore u - u can't take and take without giving anything in return - and that is what he wanted from Hugo. so glad, again Hugo did the right thing for himself, wished Hin well and walked away.

keep reading in comment sections that Hin should end up with Hugo - sorry Nope. Hin first off needs to mature and prioritize, when he knows what he wants let alone what is important to him in life, then he will be ready to go after it, work hard and fight for it. here he doesn't' have to do a thing just act cute, clueless and passive letting the more dominant guys have their way - he doesn't have to give anything (or the minimum) no one wants his heart of anything then the minimum. he not in a place to appreciate Hugo or anyone who is looking for a committed relationship so i personally hope Hugo finds a better worthier love interest. Hin can keep doing Hin

Yes this is that bad - if i could, would give this minus 10 stars!

like WTAF was this plot and i get that in manga world, Everything goes - but when ur adapting it, shouldn't u rewrite this mess?!? i should've "listened" to other commenters warnings, not to waste my time on this - but laughed at their comments and curiosity made me watch - wondering "...how bad could it get..." - Oh it was as bad as everyone said, heck it was worse -

i donno in which universe, infatuation and love is an excuse to rape - even if Tonoin for a sec though Yuuki was gay - is that the go-to(?) gay guy's just force themselves on the person they find attractive(?!?) and that's how the relationship starts? - really? like WTF is wrong with Tonoin that he comes-up with this kind of logic, and then he not ashamed, but calling Natsuko - why? who she too Yuuki, talk about adding insult to injury - considering how she acted -

as is from the start the over-acting was hilarious - yeah Bad acting - but it was funny and wasn't taking this seriously, as also found some of the character's likeable - not Natsuko (who just went from bad character to worse!) but other character's in that orchestra where quirky and fun to watch. and then that out of the blue rape scene where Yuuki's acting was killing me - like come on, he not serious - its not like he a teen girl that can't over come the body-builder Tonoin. and yet he can't cause that's how its written and then he actually falls asleep in his rapists bed?!? and the morning after he still lounging about in his underwear instead of legging it?!?
guess someone should rape the writer, so they get how illogical that whole scene was (let alone how insulting it was to real victim's out there and the trauma they have to live with for life) - but the idiocy was just starting - of course after u get raped u fantasize about "getting it on" with ur rapist - and then the cherry on-top, a drunk Natsuko taking Yuuki out for drinks and telling him "so what if u got raped once" saying "he won" i seriously would've slapped her sober, if i was in the pub and not just looked on shocked like the other patrons -
a woman talking this kind of crap and down-playing rape - telling Yuuki he was making a mountain out of a molehill was infuriating to watch - Yuuki actually taking Natsuko's words to heart and acting on them, just added fuel to the raging anger in me, watching this crap -

of course it doesn't get better... and seeing Tonoin side doesn't exonerate the f*cker and Yuuki (at the end) making some grand sacrifice for the orchestra, makes this a total disaster of a movie - that i wish i had never wasted my time on

every comment i come across keeps referring to Dangerous Liaisons or Les Liaisons dangereuses book by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos, which as been a while since i've seen/read so remember the plot vaguely.

the korean take is interesting, more f*cked-up as they r family not ex-lovers who r bored and a bit narcissistic - who for the fun of it make bets about seducing people. making them family has its yuck factor for me, and both of them were equally messed-up, doing anything for the fun of it. treating others like pawns for their amusement, which given the time period was befitting, as usually rich people didn't have many ways to entertain themselves - so a twisted mind "helped".

didn't by the love story, not between the cousins, neither the young lovers who just exchanged letters, or the widow and Jo Won. that was kind of a hard-sell and left me feeling it was either rushed or lost in translation.
don't find this better, just different, even the sex/nude scenes weren't overly R-rated, yeah it was needed to tell the story, but as opposed to other movies i've seen, it was moderate. not vulgar.

still good, not a rewatch, but interesting (as someone who has seen other adaptations of this movie from other countries, quite good).

the movie was good, sad (hard to find a korean movie that hasn't a sad or depressing ending, rarely u find one that ends on a positive note, the maximum u get is an open ending where u use ur imagination and create in ur mind a positive out come for the characters).

thought i knew what i was getting into and it would be a love story where (as written in the description) the servant falls for the masters girl. so though the master would be ugly and the girl would be a new bride who is seduced by the servants good look and kind manner, as opposed to a oppressive, insensitive husband. not the case. there is a promissory note but no actual marriage. want to write there is love, but it's complex and not cut and dry.

the plot is - a story tellers angle, where the servant Bang-ja is telling his story, about how he meet and fell in love with Choon-hyang to a writer, but his objective isn't autobiographical, but a rewrite and glorification of his love Choon-hyang - who in the story will get her happily ever after with nobility, as opposed to reality. so in a sense this is the ultimate love story.

btw i tried to watch the movie CHUNHYANGDYUN (2000) that is the folktale that came out of this movie and after a few sec opted out as it was too slow paced and i was bored out of my mind. but after seeing this movie kind curious how the "story" came out. may give it another try...

side note - yeah there r nude scenes so if ur sensitive - skip this. as u can see that ain't the main factor, this really is well written and acted. otherwise the nude comment, wouldn't make just a side note in my POV.

Just No...

the plot was whack the acting same, it wasn't funny or that interesting, there was some nudity and a bit of erotica but nothing ground shattering... let me indifferent - and to call anything that happened between the leads as love is a reach.

Khao runs away from home to house-sit for an older female friend that's like a sister(?) in the hopes of finding a job to making a living - but other then the first call to a friend - the "job hunt" ends there.. heck other then going out (we don't see it - so assuming) to buy himself better boxer briefs, he doesn't really leave the house - one that he loves to leave wide-open, and if we were talking about a private residence, would say ok. but this an apartment in a freakin building and the door is wide open - all the time, WTF??
the big romance also fizzes out, they have like minimal interaction and only cause Khao picks up a passed-out Pete and puts his drunk ass to bed, wiping him down cause he pukes on them both - so then Pete is nicer to Khao and still there isn't much interaction shown, for anyone to conclude - love. or even for either of them to end up in bed for Khao's B-Day. unless that was a birthday special XD

have to say watched 1hr 14mins of this and nothing is note worthy. yeah only the fact that when Khao's mom drops by to "read him the riot act", she's accompanied in the elevator by a ladyboy client and finds out that her son is now prostituting's himself - so after going on about sin and purgatory. he puts the only money he has, in her hands, promises her that he will give her more once he gets a job - she happily takes the money while still trying to act high and might? really? then she no different then a pimp - pssh plz.. that's the only bit that got a reaction out of me - the rest meeeh whatever...

might be the odd one out as i haven't read all the comments, but this was OK, i have seen better shortime-BL's from Korea for sure. the whole premise was a WTF is going on & personally i think it was illogical.
they could've just kept it as an office romance / triangle where Tae In feels for Yeong Won, seeing him get assaulted by his bf/ex or being humiliated by his ex's new gf/fiancé. there were so many opportunities where anyone would want to intervene & come to the defense of Yeong Won. even someone as stoic & aloof as Tae In must have a humane side - he didn't have a side quest when he agreed to let the woman (his father set him up with) hold his arm on the way out, as a last goodbye. so he couldn't find compassion in his heart for someone that worked under him for 5 yrs?!?

the whole Yeong Won programed the scenario in the game he was working on & it applied to him - somehow? even though i have to wonder, can one get shocked via the mouse?!?? seems far-fetched.

& who was the dude with the mullet?!? if he was Ha Yeong "brother" (as they both grew up in the same orphanage), then why he f*ck her over?!? for money? the mains weren't offering him any, so why suddenly help them?? also he suddenly pops up & helps Yeong Won solve the programing glitch - who is he? a god? like the Greek gods as they the only ones who wanna seduce humans & he kept trying to lure Yeong Won.

if u ignore all the game quest crap this was good. it was well acted & interesting. would've loved if Yeong Won stood-up for himself more & didn't let Gyeong Un gaslight him, let alone abuse him. yeah love makes u stupid & u let people walk all over u, but there were so many red flags & at what point does one say enough is enough?!? & Tae In came to Yeong Won's help in the stairwell when he got punched, that should've been the end of that relationship, in that moment IMO as no matter what ur going through in ur own world, when an outside intervenes that's a sobering moment.

& given the moronic quest i don't fault Tae In for ghosting Yeong Won after he achieved his goal; 1 he wasn't gay. 2 he might as well have been A-sexual & 3 he forced himself into interacting & coming to Yeong Won rescue... when sh*t is force on u, even if u have a change of heart ur knee jerk reaction is to retreat to what u r used too the sec u r free & to him that was distancing himself for Yeong Won - going back to working around the clock. as he needed time to figure out his own feelings. so if u ignore the quest crap this was good, but cause of it, this was just ok.

wanted to watch this ages ago cause of Ray Chang, since seeing him in We Best Love: No. 1 For You & warming up to him in We Best Love: Fighting Mr. 2nd, Meow Meow Boss & I Am Sorry, I Love You - wanted to check out more of his work & found this. but had a gut feeling that this would be sad, so put this off for yrs... & this had a very gloomy atmosphere from the get go IMO, even as kids there was this somber undertone to everything. by the end everyone was crying & i am sitting here wondering WTF.

from the one sentence description, i assumed Shane & Jonathan already were attracted to each other, but cause of "society" didn't act on it... Carrie showing up, falling for Shane allowed Shane to distance himself from the person he loved or some such... not the case - 1st off Carrie moved to their town cause she "met" Jonathan via the school news paper & i guess they fell in-love. but when they were together & tried to consummate their love, Jonathan realized he wasn't attracted to women. maybe he always knew he was attracted to boy's/men & specifically to Shane & (ironically) Carrie was his attempt at forcing himself into being "normal", but that attempt made him face reality.

what i don't get is why Carrie, who understood that Jonathan didn't just reject her cause he was gay, but that he was in-love with Shane - her then turning to Shane, cause she was hurting. was that a subconscious way of hurting Jonathan for rejecting her?!? bitchy move - sorry not sorry.

also ironically i usually hate the trope; where one friend falls in-love with his bff & then cause the bff doesn't feel the same & never will, said friend decides on his own, not only enough is enough, but it's time to cut ties without consulting or giving their bff a heads-up. but this time around, i got Jonathans pain & he did try to tough it out... but given how he was physically losing it, i get his need to end things.
what i don't get (again) why the frack Shane f*ck Jonathan?!??? did he always know that Jonathan saw him as more then a friend, but as he didn't feel the same he ignored it/played dumb. but now that he was gonna lose Jonathan, he slept with him to keep him by his side?!? if so, another douche move cause 1. he is in a relationship with Carrie & 2. what he gonna offer Jonathan? the mistress role?!? or his taking them to the beach, was him trying to find the words to suggest an open relationship, a throuple??

either way i aint as impressed as others watching, cause this was very confusing half way towards the end, all 3 crying instead of talking, didn't help & then it just cut off - like is that supposed to help me understand this plot any better?!? idk i guess i needed clarity & more dialogue between Shane & Jonathan - this wasn't satisfying or enjoyable to me.

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

this isn't LGBT...

donno why there's an LGBT tag - the fact that the male leads got close, automatically means sexual attraction? if so i missed the signs - cause there were none to be found.

if i didn't read the description, wouldn't have guessed that the reason Xiao Fang ended up in Surfers' utopia, was cause he just broke up with his gf. from what i saw, it seemed like he was just a man lost in life, with no direction that held on to the only life-line offered to him - that came in the form of a job, to run the surf shop by the sea that Dong Bin owned. a job opportunity that opened up, cause the previous worker had to go back home, cause of family issues.

all of the people who ended up in Wan'an, were either running away from something or were lost & needed a place to call home & that's why they all became "family" - under Uncle Dong Bin guidance. guess hurt people can recognize kinder spirits & he welcomed every new comer into the "family".
everyone who came to Surfers' utopia & stayed were lost in some way, everyone carrying their own baggage, Xiao Fang & Yuan Yong just connected. given the fact that Yuan Yong reminded Xiao Fang of his childhood bff (& what happened to said bff), it was logical that on his part, he wanted to get close to Yuan Yong. that doesn't make them "closeted". people can have chemistry with other people of the same gender or the opposite gender & it can be totally platonic.

if anything, there was no romance to speak off in this movie, even though Yuan Yong & Yu Ling came as a couple, they didn't interact like one - other then when they were making out lol. but they were more like friends with benefits. even in the scene where Xiao Fang & Yuan Yong were shirtless & Xiao Fang was tending to Yuan Yong wounds, the one that was effected by the scene, that was aware of the picture they both presented & how appealing it was, was Yu Ling. the guys weren't effected in the least - cause there was a platonic connection between them - nothing more.

this was a depressing movie - the MC, Xiao Fang - who was running away from the world, maybe cause of what happened in his teens, seeing Yuan Yong felt he had a chance to redeem himself, to regain what he once lost. but the tragic turn of event with Yuan Yong made him realize, that he couldn't redeem himself or save his bff - again. thus what he chose in the end was sadly, tragically logical.

hella depressing... well acted by all & not a boring moment, even though it is pretty slow-paced - but so freakin sad.
