talk depressing, everyone is going on about the forbidden love as if this some sordid animalistic attraction. this was more about Yoon Ha, he was a lost soul all alone in the world, who found solace in a kindred spirit, Jung Bun. she didn't treat him like a kid & was as lost as him - like she said "...just cause she was older, didn't mean she wasn't as helpless & lost..." just another disconnected human like him, that had lost everything & was doing the best to survive & even though their interaction was only as street vendors, he helped her as much as she helped him - they were equals.
when she suddenly disappeared from his life, he felt abandoned all over again & meeting her again by chance a decade later "Felt like kismet" & as a young adult man, with all those hormones flaring it was natural that he felt attraction to the women who was his other half in suffering, loss & pain.
just now as an adult, he could shoulder her pain & help her as a man - add the hormones & he wanted to be more then just a comrade in suffering. but given her daughter's infatuation, let alone societies norms, she knew she couldn't encourage him in any way, that's why she ran -

personally i just felt sad for both - for different reasons. i don't see this as cheating - maybe forbidden love & the ending was depressing. but what other outcome could there have been. i don't agree with the daughter's commentary at the end - she was being petty, like her mother acted petty by taking the power box. it was cause her ego got hurt, when her daughter told her a woman her age couldn't were power, as people would laugh.
sorry, but just cause u r a mother doesn't mean u lose ur sense of self worth - u push it to the back putting ur children before urself - heck u put ur whole family before ur self, like Jung Bun did. mothers can be jealous of their daughters & vise versa, & being human they can be selfish too, doesn't mean Jung Bun was a bad mother, it for sure doesn't delete all her hard work or the love she had & gave her daughter. if anything she tried her best to safeguard her daughter, without breaking her heart, moving the 1st time & then she tried to make it clear to Yoon Ha that if he didn't love her daughter, he should stop what he was doing.

the fact that Yoon Ha was too desperate to have Jung Bun in his life, even if that meant using Mi Soo is a sad decision he came too, but he also knew that there was NO other way to keep Jung Bun in his life otherwise.

the end was Jung Bun knowing all was lost & choosing suicide by In Bun's hand. she was tired of being her sister's caretaker, watching her daughter have what she prevent herself from having. maybe keeping up the act that all was ok had become too tasking. maybe she couldn't live with Yoon Ha being near but knowing she could never lean on him, cause now being her son-in-law it would be doubly forbidden & it weighted on her soul that she wanted too, but would never dare.....
this was well written & acted, but OMG depressing.

watching this i think if the timeline was different, then it would hit harder. i get that we supposed to see this from the POV of men that can't openly love, cause society isn't open to it. & yet given that the 1st Thai BL came out in 2014 (let alone the fact that the mains r playing actors that r in a gay romance) even if the majority of Thailand wasn't OK with anything LGBT, there was enough acceptance, in certain parts. so if someone really wanted too they would fight for the right to love!

from where i sit, it seemed like more of a choice, Tul didn't want to rock the boat - he had a vision of his future & even though he loved Kan & is attracted to men, he wanted the facade of normalcy - whether for his family or just in general idk (as we didn't any back ground). but the out come was him hurting 3 people, cause of his selfishness - u could justify it & yet it is what it is. cause if u r gay, u will always be tempted - so even though Kan isn't around. Tul will stray & then what off his daughter & wife?!?
cause we have seen that when push comes to shove - Tul has no problem hurting the one he loves - cause his wishes & feelings come 1st.

& anyone mentioning the child - 1 there surrogates - sadly in a country like Thailand there enough poor people that it wouldn't be hard to find a woman (married or widowed) that would take on the job. 2. instead of marrying a normie that was duped into thinking she was being married for love, he could've seeked out a woman that was A-sexual that wanted children & more of companionship then a true partnership - guess i am over thinking this - but heck cause of this Tul's tears did mean a thing to me. i felt sorry for Kan, the unsuspecting wife & even the sweet child...

this was fine for a 1 off.

must say left feeling flat - the acting was good, but the plot wasn't my cup of tea (& not talking about the same sex attraction issue) i don't come from a devote back ground, so seeing someone this addicted to religion is foreign to me.
& yet get that as Yoo Han was all alone / an orphaned, he turned to god for comfort, as he turned to the church & the community it gave him, to be a substituent for the family he didn't have.

Joo Won to me was the embodiment of the serpent in the garden of Eden, u never got who he was or what his ulterior motive was - u just got that there indeed was one (not to mention he was shady as f*ck IMHO). he was quick to pick-up on how he effected Yoo Han. he kept getting close to him without actually crossing any boundaries, cause he suspected Yoo Han would run for the hills the sec he did.
but he kept finding ways to be in his vicinity (tempting him), kissing that girl - maybe she was another soul he needed to corrupt - one that took a bite of the apple. same as Yoo Han eventually did. also the reason he disappeared afterwards without a word - his job was done

also the reason i thought of this was cause of the girl in the prayer meet & her weird / scary dream of a serpent swallowing Yoo Han whole - considering what happened it indeed did....

the reason am left "flat" after watching, is cause this was depressing to me, Yoo Han's brainwashed attitude with religion - his lack of life & being open & vulnerable to bad people leaves me feeling depressed. so well acted but a one off

talk about surreal, OMG this was a trip & yet am confused. did any of what i saw happen? or this just Vita reading Jan Wen & Xu Axing's online web comic 🤷‍♀️ either way this Not(!) Horror (& this not the only pace it's tagged as such). get that anyone randomly shooting people is scary, even horrifying. but when u see a "Horror tag", it means something super nature, this psychological -

on a whole it was depressing & gloomy. the movie was separated into 3 acts.

the 1st half bored me out of my mind. Jan Wen walking around like a morbid, robotically depressed entity didn't arose my interest - heck i was bored out of my mind - zoning out, not even trying to bother & figure out WTH was going on, even though it was pretty straight forward so wasn't missing anything major (heck the 1st few sec already knew Xu Axing was infatuated with Jan Wen...) even before we find out he's gay.

the 2nd part was even more depressing, but at least wasn't bored - u got more of why Jan Wen walked around defeated (but for the life of me, i don't get how he goes from depressed bordering on total defeat / submission to despondency, to lets just randomly shoot people). isn't it more logical to shoot ones self & put an end to the suffering?!? u usually go shoot people cause u hate a group of people u think done u wrong - so this bit bothered me till the end.

the 3rd part was almost a rewind & re-figuration of the 2nd part - everything started off a bit different & Jan Wen chose a different path which is so much more optimistic & hope inducing until that bitter end (which makes u wonder; if someone is gonna have a bad end, is there a way to change that ultimate outcome or u doomed no matter what)...
*had to add, that i did feel sorry for Xu Axing who wasn't just infatuated but in-love with Jan Wen - after the lengths he was ready to go in the 2nd part. so even if he was ready to never admit this fact to his best-friend ever, it was all the more heartbreaking watching him long for something he would never have.

then come the after credits which left me "scratching my head" wondering WTF... so maybe i need to rewatch this a couple of time to get all the nuances / clues i missed the 1st time around. or need to understand Taiwanese let alone know more about the culture, but as this depressing & boring that wont be any day soon. ✌

1st off the subs aint good, sadly that makes it hard (like, got the gist. but am sure there minute details that went over my head). regardless, must say enjoyed this as much as i did "The Witch: Part 1. The Subversion". which comes as a surprise, not just cause of all the negative feedback this has gotten. but cause been put off watching this, as wanted the 2nd part, to pick up where the 1st left off (as is this took 4yrs in the making) & seeing how the 2nd part was described, cooled my curiosity - thus not rushing to watch when it came out, but am glad finally checked it out.

this a slow burn for sure, think 30 mins in there almost no dialogue & what little there is, isn't enough to clue u in on what the heck is going on. for 1 didn't get who was against whom & why. get Dr. Baek & her twin where the main scientist, but who were they working for and why where they killing people left right & center even their experiment's?!? needed clarification on that, & who let Mi Young go at the start, who raised her?!? even if she got a tracker on her, how can they know she's pregnant & it's time to "collect" her? maybe this & more will get answered in the next part - for now these "hole's" r frustrating.

weird or not the one i really loved was Tom, dude a breath of fresh air - every one else was walking around like the freakin grim reaper (which, get considering their power, let lone how they were brought-up) but that still a downer to watch. also ironically enjoyed Yong Doo (he totally deserved how he died) but while he was alive, he was a fun character - especially when he was scared sh*tless lol.

would've loved if Kyung Hee & her brother survived (like the couple who saved Ko Ja Yun in the 1st part). but then (i doubt) Ko Ja Yun's twin would've willingly gone with her & doubt Ko Ja Yun has reached out / searched for her, cause they family. bet it's cause unlike Ko Ja Yun, her sister doesn't need to get medicated on the monthly for her brain not to combust. like i said, a lot of plot-holes not explained / left open, so i unlike others am looking forward to the next part, just to get answers.

like mentioned above this a slow burn, but it's well acted & when the action came it was remarkable, heck IMHO even better then the 1st part - showing that the twin was stronger then her sister. so i for one think this was great & will happily recommend + can't wait for the next part.

side note: everyone going on & on about Lee Jong Suk, he almost didn't have any screen time. maybe in part 3?!?....

too short

i get this a short film - but u blink and this is over - so really donno how i feel, after watching this. how can u judge and come to any conclusions from 7min's (if that) of film?!?
u get a rough idea of what is going on, but how can u judge the motivation behind their words an actions?!? is Jung Soo really the bad-guy (a load of commenters r calling him) we forgetting he's gay and probably in the closet - deep in the closet(?) so maybe his indecisiveness and breaking up with Ho Bin, didn't steam from him not loving him, or being a player. but by his inability to live out in the open as a gay. this Korea we talking about, it's not just the public's reaction but the parents, family and friends and as far as i know, it's not(!) that easy to live 'out and proud' in Korea.

so looking at this, with that in mind - i saw desperation in his actions, yeah he manipulated the situation even forced Ho Bin to admit that even though he's saying "no", he really isn't over Jung Soo or their relationship. not mature way to deal with the situation, but when the heart is concerned r any of us capable of acting rationally?!? here we go back to ex's (that we Know r bad for us) knowing they playing us, and nothing good with come out of resuming the relationship - just cause our heart can't "stand strong" against them coming back for a second or third chance.
so this was interesting, but left undecided as to what i feel about this film as a whole. thinking positively, i hope that this time around Jung Soo has decided that he will stand tall and fight not only for Ho Bin to take him back - but for them to make it as a couple and live out and proud.
considering in life nothing is definite - Jung Soo could get cold feet and after a while again (cause of pressure from his family) break-up with Ho Bin to be with a woman. and the only way Ho Bin could have a relationship with Jung Soo was if it was a secret. not unheard off.

so this leaves a lot of food for though, let alone avenues to how this could develop. but as it's left to our imagination - i feel let down by how little we get to "chew on" and that's why it only got 3.5 stars.

even though knew what i was "walking into" this was a sad watch. having watched similar movies (my favorite; Sarah Polley's, My Life Without Me 2003) this concept isn't new to me. maybe cause of that could keep a cool head, in-spite of cheating being the main issue everyone is "up in arms" about (usually am the first to condemn cheater's, and think it's never justified. rather people just break-up with their partner/spouse, then cheat on them) but considering the main topic - which is Dying (Not cheating). u can't look at this type of movie with a black an white - rigid POV.

this was so much more then - cheating, it was about how people deal with this type of situation - think the only one i can't figure out is Jung Hyuk - first if he so devoted to his gf, why it seem he not even interested in her? and as she has friends, why only he helping her? where her parents at? she had major surgery after all. and as they not even sleeping together (which symbolizes more then just being horny) it means they r serious, that they committed to each other - then his being her guardian makes sense. but his attitude was distant - as if he had to be there, not wanted to. it would go to explain his instant attraction to a beautiful woman, while he was just suffering his spoilt brat of a gf.

the rest is pretty easy to get, Sin Ae was vulnerable, scared, tired, thankful and angry ironically all that was not only directed at her husband, but at herself and Jung Hyuk gave her freedom - not only to cut her husband lose, but to live the rest of what life she had, the way she wanted. even though her husband loved her, he inadvertently made her aware that she should be grateful - his words when she told him she wanted a divorce - just emphasize what they both subconsciously knew. that he though she should owe him for making this grand sacrifice. what started out as love turned into duty and a burden. him acting/filling the role of martyr. so she gave him an out, where he wasn't the bad-guy. where even her death would be sad, not devastating. she accepted the role of bad-guy. even though she did that more for herself, cause she was tired of being a burden and feeling guilty and sorry towards him. nothing here black and white - it's so complex - like human's r. same with her leaving Jung Hyuk even if there was an instance where she fantasized about being with him - she would Never repeat the life she lead just this time with Jung Hyuk, not when she was this close to the end. and her collapse just strengthened her resolve to leave him. her heart breakin in the cab wasn't just for what she could've had with Jung Hyuk, but the end of everything -

found it very ironic that she chose to end her life, in the same place her mother abandoned her, when she was a kid - all alone...

this was so bad, it was good!!!

it was ridiculous - over the top crazy and yet so much fun!!! i enjoyed every minute of this crazy ride - and there a ton of character's to love, like Ozaki's subordinate's, the President who it totally extra and Tsuburaya's fan-boy. the friend and the crazy stalker, ironically weren't that funny just crazy.

but i have to say for me the dude that kept stealing the spot-light was Ozaki - he was hilarious - donno him (the actor playing him) from Adam but he really took this character/plot and ran with it... he was everything fun and good - animated and wild - from one scene to the next, he dominated - even though donno if he will "land" the Seme position, given how hell bent Tsuburaya is to dominate his ass - literally lol - but this is hilarious and for sure a multiple rewtach...

btw i get this a whacky comedy, but Ozaki gets freakin stabbed by Tsuburaya's fan/stalker - Tsuburaya get's choked out by Ozaki infatuated friend and everything is just brushed off like meeh no big deal... get this is "out there" but still those were WTF moment's - that weren't as fun.
but other then that, this was really good - highly recommend for anyone looking for something light and fun that will keep a smile on ur face, cause of the absurdity u see - a while after the viewing.

considering some of the movies i've watched and dropped, this was a balm to the soul - it was so cute and endearing from the word go... liked both leads - well loved Togawa from the sec he stepped into that elevator, with a devil may care attitude. also never knew i had a thing for the constant half smirk/smile - totally added to his charm.

but what i loved more was the fact that he wasn't the typical ML - he didn't cater to his partner, just cause he was the Seme so he was supposed to let the uke use him as a psychological punching-bag to vent all the wrong's he has suffered up to this point in life. that not the type of relationship i like or am looking for in the romance genre (straight or gay) so loved that even if he was the pursuer and pushed and prodded Shima into admitting his attraction, let alone him being gay. he also made him confront his demon's and didn't go over board and left Shima to figure out what he wanted at the end.

personally i didn't like Onoda, yeah he had good intentions - but i felt that he was too intrusive in a relationship he had no part in. but that's the minus in getting involved in ur work-place, there no boundaries and everyone in the workplace makes it their business to keep updated in the couple life - so was kinda shocked that Shima having been burnt once, still couldn't distance himself from Togawa - but u can't help who u r attracted too so i didn't blame him. but it was plain to the eye to see and kinda funny.

really enjoyed this and really connected with the character's and this for sure a rewatch and happily recommend to all

sugar sweet

this was the most endearing, heartwarming, wholesome BL i've seen in a while - from start to finish i couldn't stop smiling cause both the mains, r just adorable - even though Taiichi's dennis the menace personality was just enchanting, i couldn't get enough of him and i "got" why Sugihara fell, so hard and fast for him. doubt anyone could be unaffected by his charm - he was a ray of sunshine and not only cause of his sparkling personality and loud voice, but cause he was a man that stood up for what he though was right and good and he wasn't scared to (literally) fight what he though was wrong/bad. not a lot of people got a back-bone made out of steal, let alone those kind of morals and high standers...

this was a joy to view and see how everything unfolded, i could feel when Sugihara's intrigue turned into wonder cause he was hooked and then he "ran/" cause he didn't want to be hated - not by the one person that brought some light into his dark isolated world.
the fact that Taiichi was as infatuated was all the more touching - even though he still couldn't comprehend what he felt was love and that same thing Sugihara has confessed to feeling - he just knew he cared for Sugihara and wanted to be in his life. if that's not a positive ending - idk what is.

and yeah there loads of serious issue's dealt with Sugihara hearing loss - which was getting worse as the time went by. his isolation and segregation by his peers. let alone Taiichi's back-story (which WTF is wrong with people that decide to bring a child into the world and then ditch him cause they want to move on with their lives?!? sorry but people like this need to be castrated, so they can't bring any more children into the world and toss them aside the sec they had enough) and that deep down even though he doesn't seem so, he is carrying a heavy burden - which ironically is also isolating him as he acts like everything couldn't be better, when he is really hurting. so them finding each other felt like kismet, cause they just "fit".

side note: idk where i've seen Tawada Hideya (playing Sugihara) but the dude is beautiful in this movie and was tempted more then once to stop the scene and just stare at his face, he so beautiful - and not even gonna mentioned when he smiled. so having gotten that off my chest - this was a gem - lovely and sweet in the most organic, soul cleansing way - wholeheartedly recommend and for sure a rewtach!!!

talk traumatizing

idk how others r just fine with the content - cause this blindsided me like a MOFO, as is the whole pageant scene (fun and games aside) seemed shady and sordid, and i know as much as beauty pageant r made to seem glamorous, the behind-the-scene's isn't that much different then what we got in this movie - just the girls (cause its publicized) aint as vulgar when they address the public or judges - also they have to up-hold some false image of propriety. here everything was in ur face - literally... and everything was mischief and horseplay, until they got in the car with that disgusting Mayor.

as is the sec he walked into that place with his bodyguard and he carrying a gun - i was like where he a Mayor off?!? perv town in a wild western?!? like WTF - and then the way he was fixated on Ace and Mico made my skin crawl! so when i "got" that Ace's babe was that pig (bad joke i know ugh) my stomach turned, wondering how the hell these two boys got mixed up with that f*cker. and then everyone around that depraved old man knew these were "his boys" aish i wanted to projectile vomit all over the screen.
so from the sec they got in that car i might as well have been watching a slasher/horror flick, this was that distressing - seeing them being verbally pushed and prodded into doing Fernan's bidding - even though they young adults, and meant to be rebellious they were so docile it was shudder inducing and yeah for me it was a hard watch after that - even them "sticking" him like a pig (well deserved) wasn't enough to revive my enthusiasm in watching this - felt like a train wreck and i really wanted to avert my eyes - so afterwards more or less fast-forwarded the rest...

but have to say, in-spite of this being brutal - it was well acted and played out - it showed u how depraved the world is and there was no sugar coating of this mess. all the joking around - lighthearted atmosphere turned dark and ghastly half way through - the end was fitting considering they didn't plan any off what happened, they were desperate, inexperienced and in-over their heads. they were basically just thrown around by the situation they found themselves in, and just had to hang on and push through - so logical ending..

so if u not softhearted (like me) and have no problem with this type of depravity - recommend it to u - and even though this sooooooooooo not my cup of tea, i admit - good movie!

sorry but i don't get anyone giving this a high rating - to each their own of course, but watching this i didn't find anything likeable in Jun - who is the MC. his attitude is reckless not rebellious, and we taking an adult here, not a teen - so rebellious really? against whom?!? his dead father or meek browbeaten mother?!? or the worse - a loving understanding partner that didn't and doesn't deserved what he got, in return for his love or trust.... so nah this not worthy of 5 stars, let alone 7 or more

if this was supposed to serve as a cautionary tale, to everyone not using condoms then good - cause the "i like to feel closer..." argument is moronic - closer to death more like - even though as the nurse pointed out, with medication nowadays u can control the disease and live a normal life - but lets face facts, if u sick no matter what u have once u have to live with it for life, it wont stay the same - it morphs and effects every aspect of ur life - let alone when u consumed medication regularly its side effects (that r usually warnings) take effect after a decade or two - that's unavoidable - so "normal" is subjective....

also i really felt sorry for the mother, who is not a mean - bad person that deserves her son disregard and disrespect - he staying with her and treating their house like a love-motel and i don't care what ur sexual orientation is, if ur not married and u bring every tom, dick and harry back to ur home to shag while ur parent's in the other room, that's down right disrespectful and deserving of u getting kicked out, let alone getting a scolding. but she did neither - just kept quite and suffered in silence, no matter what her son did. and she the bad guy?

but Jun's logic is off as he the one who went to meet his ex and then brought home trouble, making a show out of the whole family from the neighbor's to talk about (any Asian's worse nightmare), and if that's not enough he gets mad at the mother and runs off - even after the test he doesn't think it's right to contact his new bf - here Michel the one running around looking for this spoilt ass - why? heck Michel was a better son to Jun's mom then Jun and he understanding on top of it all, considering he also infected?!? this was sad, not sweet or lovely. Jun is selfish and undeserving of Michel's love.

he might hate his dead father but he off the same mold, and the mother had to suffer one when he was alive- now she got another version to take care off in her old age - donno this was kinda depressing and still can't get all the positive reviews regarding this movie.

the only positive i found - dude playing Michel - hella good looking - and i guess the acting was good. so one off

ironically i watched this cause of a comment by Synchonicity - whose recommendation did wonders for this movie (it got me to waste my time) something the movie itself couldn't do - as this is Bad - like everything - acting - plot - editing.... is bad. watching this it felt like Andy Wang (whom i don't know from Adam) was throwing himself a party - rich spoilt dude thats being funded by his parents, who have spoilt him rotten and his new "toy" is not only acting, but making a movie - it was the 'Andy Wang show' from start to finish - he was the writer, director, maybe editor and of course staring - so little wonder we got what we got.

the plot wasn't that unique - tried and true rich kid that's got a gf, but in the closet or didn't even know he was gay, until the new kid comes along and entices him out - he ditches the gf for a bf and as the gf can't get over the loss, she starts plotting ways to break the couple apart and get back with the ML. of course need drama and a heartbreaking moment of conflict, so add the sick dying parent whos hell bent on grandkids, even though her kid is still studying ¯\_(ツ)_/¯¯

and it would've been another ok BL-movie if the acting was good - it wasn't(!) You Xi is a condensing ass from start to finish, he got one emotion going - looking down on EVERYONE as if he doing them a favor for gracing them with his presence. that's how he treats everyone, so if there were emotion's of attraction, interest conveyed by him i blinked and missed it - i guess. but all the other actors didn't do a better job either - heck donno who did the casting (guess Andy Wang) cause even the side and back ground character's didn't seem logical - its like there were kids - children and adults not only teens, that were all mixed up and nothing looked or felt logical - so a train wreak it was - the end scene was freakin hilarious and pretty sure it wasn't meant to be - but we had to get out the sprinklers, so all 3 moron's could stand in the "rain" and add to the water-works as they each be posing and crying Aish plz, i couldn't for the life of me take that serious

what's left to say - if ur bored and looking for a laugh - which will admit there aren't many (laughs) cause You Xi narcissistic attitude aint charming or fun to watch - heck the only other hilarious scene was when his ex-gf slapped him. the way he reacted, it felt like in his life he has never gotten slapped and it looked like he was seriously contemplating punching her (how dare a peasant touch him lol) , but remembered the cameras (¬‿¬)(¬_¬ )

this is a surreal mind-trip that i have to say, donno if i figured out right - as until the last moment it kept me guessing, if the conclusions i came too were right or i needed medication to "get" this movie.

ironically a while back wanted to watch this cause of the loft scene, though this was the original, to a remake i saw (The Loft 2014) made in the US. and watching this - it so isn't! it might have started out similar with the paranoid Hyun Woo, wiping down his loft that had evidence of bloody violence's on him and in that place - getting ride of evidence while the cops were at his door - but that's about it.. everything else goes off the deep end and u always wondering "is this really happening" or is everything in Hyun Woo's mind. slowly started to wonder if the original gf he couldn't get over - did she exist? did Jun Hyuk, who seemed to disappear into thin air never to be heard of again (well his body - idk just confused)¯\_(ツ)_/¯

this is ok for a one off and nobody does crazy better then Jang Hyuk - so acting was stop on by the lot. i could care less about the erotica / nudity / sex-scenes as the psychological mind-f*ck was enough to not make it even register. plus it went to further Min Suk's character and justify Su Yeon's action (which aint justifiable, but the whole group was just messed-up. and there was no real backstory offered, to explain everyone psychosis - so left confused).

lets start with the bad - and there a lot here - yeah the actors r newbies and inexperienced, but seems so is the director - writer, production etc... cause its not only the bad acting and directing - even the "plot" isn't smooth or coherent. sometimes it just felt like "we" r jumping from one scene to the next and u gotta use ur imagination as to how it fits - sometimes its logical - others not so much. and have to add maybe the subs also were done by google translate, as they didn't help easy the viewing or understanding of this ..

also getting scene after scene of topless, toned bodies without rhyme or reason (with tons of "boob" close-ups), makes me cringe considering the age of these actors, words like exploitation come to mind - like a flashing warning sign - given both these young actors no matter how good looking, haven't been in other movies or dramas (well that were noted on this site). but and *plus point here, in-spite of the amount of naked skin we got to view (thank-god) there was a lack of intimate scenes. i.e - it was clear that even when they were kissing of consummating's their love, it was sexless. and i for one am thankful - rather this then see two teens force themselves into situations they not comfortable portraying.

plot wise like mentioned it wasn't smooth, but if u ignore the majority of glitches and focus on the relationship between the guys, from the sec Chai walks into that messy room he gonna share with Aek - he is infatuated. and that's more or less how this whole story goes - Chai loves more and gives more and Aek the typical partner that loves less, takes and takes without a second thought. until Chai gets attacked and that's his turning point - its cute how the get close. but why they part is a mystery to me - cause they graduating? would think if u really loved someone u would find a way to be together - but that scene where they part, was like it was a given that when they finish their schooling their relationship will also come to an end.

their meeting where Aek is in a relationship and moved on, while Chai is alone and still yearning for his first love is indicative of their personality - same with Aek having no problem trying to "get close" to Chai, while his gf is next to him - to me it seemed more lust then love and that's why i got Chai decision to be the bigger person and walk away. i would've preferred he leave that wallet on the bed with his letter cause the dude not only needs to move on. he needs to stop yearning for something and someone that can't give him what he needs. so to me this was a good conclusion to a so so plot - a one off
