I bought and read the manga years ago (digitally on amazon kindle). Very messy but it was entertaining for the most part. I will need to re-read the manga as I watch this.
When I first read the synopsis my mind didn't read the "he" so it registered this as a woman cheating on her boyfriend from back home with a married woman. I was so disappointed that this wasn't the case. It would have been extra escandulo.
I watched this a few years ago and never thought about it again until very recently. I remember the movie vividly. It had such a slow start for me. This will sound a little fucked up but the murder-suicide is what made this movie for me; the way it ended is what made it enjoyable.
The movie was fine. I wouldn't rewatch it. I feel like I was to blame for what happened to Jun's mom. I really didn't want a romantic a relationship to form in this movie. I love platonic relationships which would have been so fitting but I did not want my wish granted that way damn. They really wanted Jun's mom to suffer and that she did and then some. I had to rewatch the club scene where Mr. Long was got/bested after seeing the scene where Mr. Long beat/killed every single one of those guys in the end. It was a surprise to see compared to the beginning. I loved how comfortable the town/village people were. They were so nice and I loved seeing how Jun helped Mr. Long as soon as he seen him; their growing father-son relationship was nice to see. The ending did seem random. It was too coincidental that they would have seen him in the cafe BUT I did like how they were crossing the street. This is a solid 7.
This sounds good! I never got through even one of Riku Mukai's other movies so I am glad this one seems like it'll be cute. Very interesting to see an actual av actor take on a movie role of an av actor.
I just finished it and idk how I feeeeeel. Mobu is getting the triangle AND the age gap tropes. Let him live. HE PRETENDED TO BE A HORSE TO MISS A FLAG. But it truly is No BL, No Life.
I am only writing here cause of a moment in episode 4 has me dead af. Mobu always acts a certain way to avoid BL moments but when he started to do horse noises WITH THE GALLOPING NOISES. I cannot contain just how much I love this show and how much I appreciate Ki Reh for translating (where they've done an immaculate job at translating).
I watched this the year it came out and only watched it once. I still remember a lot of the movie. I finally came here to give it a rating. This movie could has been a 10 for me (and I personally think it should have won an Oscar), BUT the ending of the movie always rubbed me the wrong way like it didn't make sense. I give it a rating of 8.5 cause of the ending that was added for the male's gaze.
This was disappointing. Such a good premise but the dialogue, humor, and where the movie was heading made this hard to finish. It was predictable and not in a good way (I usually like spoilers and when I guess things right).
Recently rewatched this movie after watching it back in 2020 and it is still such a great movie. I have seen several movies with Park Sung Woong and he is phenomenal with all that he does. Just seeing this Korean male actor of his caliber that has performed some gangster-ish villain roles doing this movie really well, along with those kissing scenes was refreshing. I feel like many actors from Korean BL shows/movies need to watch this since some seem to be blase or afraid of embracing their respected roles which shows in their acting. Personally, I do feel like that is what is holding them back since they seem uncomfortable (again this is just my opinion). My standards are high for shows and movies that focus on mlm relationships which is why I do not watch most Korean BL shows/movies.
I know this may sound pervy but....it would be HOT if this was a BL...LOL! I mean that gangster is really hot…
I mean that is a pretty large age gap but there is pixiv fanart of them where he is depicted to be in college (which is what he is in the sequel manga).
