That was really good
I didn't think I would like this, but was very well-written with fairly well-realized characters for such a short flim. Woo-Tae is an unusual character - sweet and conflict avoidant without being weak - far from it. I loved his honesty, including with himself.
Also, points for the total absence of homophobia, which is unusual for a KBL - by which I mean the very story and the way it's told, not the inclusion of homophobia as a plot element.
I could have done with fewer BL tropes, which I think weakened the overall effect, but almost everything about this is strong, and you will likely walk away from it feeling good. There aren't any real kisses in it, but i was fine with that - it wouldn't have made sense for where the characters are.
