So what does "your vulgar nature" refer to?
There is no "girlfriend/fiance." Get real. Are you sure you don't work for his agency?
In your scenario, his family and friends would have known what was happening for a long time. How would he be isolated and alone in this? And then he just decides to kill himself one day, which solves nothing, especially if he had this imaginary fiancee waiting to marry him.
Nope...there's more to it than that. Not that it will ever be made public, because Korean society values nothing more than "saving face" regarding something it deems shameful. All this useless shame needs to be done away with. Half of Korea is still in the 19th century regarding several major issues.

It's not that simple. Stalkers are everywhere, not just in Korea.
A harsh light needs to be shown on several other aspects of Korean society that so frequently lead to tragedies like this. If I'm reading between the lines of this and several other news reports correctly, the "secret" this horrible person was threatening to expose concerning his "vulgar nature," shouldn't have to be a career-ending secret in the first place, not in a civilized country in 2024.
Along with that, you have the Korean phobia of mental health issues, which still have a powerful stigma attached to them. Shame is far too pervasive a concern in Korean society. This talented, still-young man felt he had nowhere to turn, no one to share this with, and no authority to go to for help without destroying his life, so he left
Because its the government thats homophobic not people. Not saying that theres no homophobic people in china tho…
Yeah, those horrible Westerners are responsible for every negative thing in the entire world. Before Christian missionaries came, they loved their gay folks. Got it.
No.She already had severe cirrhosis of the liver, showing extreme scarring, lesions, and fatty buildup, which…
"Weak liver." lol Yeah, weak from her heavy drinking. Her father died of alcohol-induced cirrhosis of the liver also. His liver was weak because he made it that way.
I've done my research, Noface. Her liver was in such bad shape the head doctor who did the autopsy said there is no way she was not having severe pain and other symptoms, and for quite some time. Someone who continues chugging booze after they know they are sick from it is, yes, passively killing themselves.
Korea has the highest rate of alcoholism and alcohol-related deaths among all developed countries, just as they are #1 by far in suicides.
Most importantly, I just noticed I don't care what you think of my list.
Pls remove Park Boram from the list. She didn't take her own life, she died from alcohol poisoning.
No. She already had severe cirrhosis of the liver, showing extreme scarring, lesions, and fatty buildup, which indicates she had been drinking heavily for years. She drank herself to death. That is passive suicide in my book. This is my list so I decide who's on it.
To claim this as a BL or gay romance, you have to really work to see and imagine things that are not presented…
" but the characters simply do not get enough time to pursue those feelings."
You mean the production ran out of money and cut the film short, which prevented the characters from getting together? lol If the writer/director wanted them together in the film, they would have included that. Them getting together was deliberately not shown. Nobody ran out of time. :) That's why it's a censored BL.
Maybe, just maybe, this was supposed to be a movie about an unfulfilled love between two men. The love that just…
It checked every freaking bl trope box there is. You weren't paying attention. It's a censored BL like out of PRC, but for some reason made in Taiwan. The plot and all the cliches are VERY Thai BL. You saw what you wanted to see.
"...a movie about romantic love between two men." You have to work hard and squint to pretend that's what's on the screen during this film.
I'm a little confused over why people are saying this is bromance.In my opinion, it would be easy to look at this…
To claim this as a BL or gay romance, you have to really work to see and imagine things that are not presented on the screen. It's worse than a bromance. A real bromance is two straight guys who love each other platonically, not romantically. A censored BL is what this is, and it could have been made in Beijing. What is Taiwan releasing this crap?
Just watched this on NF. Major disappointment, even though I wasn't expecting much, given the comments here. We do get to see a lot of Fandy Fan's face, given to us as a gift from God, along with an extended scene where he is clad only in tight boxer shorts. Works for me. :)
This felt like a censored BL right out of Beijing, with high production values but stupid plotting, worthy of an assembly-line BL out of Bangkok. Something about letters traveling through time and ghosts or something...I don't care enough to figure it out. As for the "romance," which it very much isn't, we get a few BL vibes and longing glances, but it doesn't go anywhere.
Even worse, it includes every trope and cliche out of BL World, from scuffling that ends in a face-to-face exchange of fluttering eyelids, to a embarrassingly contrived car-on-pedestrian collision; you know, the kind where the soon-to-be-dead person hears the car and instead of running, STOPS in the middle of the crosswalk, arms/hands raised to shield his face, and waits for the f**king car to hit him. Naturally, the driver of the car lays on the horn but does not stop until the character lays squished on the pavement.
I have no idea why this was released as a feature film rather than a TV special or something like that, because that's what it feels like.
At least it had a happy ending, though by then I didn't care. I thought Fandy Fan would have come a lot further than this sort of thing by now.

Heartbreaking, and so unnecessary.

Can't believe this came out of Taiwan.

Don't listen to Berliner. She watched it with queer-colored glasses.

Pretty lame. 5.5/10
