This movie came out at such an important time. With the deepfake crimes and pedophilia happening in Korea finally coming to light through Korean feminists on twitter, this movie definitely helped put emphasis on the biased sentencing that sex offenders receive in that patriarch country. These sexual offenders get more protection from the government and aid through tax payers' money than most victims get support, it's insanely unjust.
I'd like to encourage everyone to watch this movie cause I had literal goosebumps throughout at how accurately they portrayed the dystopian reality of our world. Murderers & rapists roam around us carefree because there is no proper concession in place to hold them accountable. Hope we as a society will soon be able to make this a safer place for everyone by putting criminals behind bars for longer or better yet, bringing back the death penalty.
And can I please please ask everyone to show support to the Korean women raising their voice on twitter against the misogyny and assault they face in South Korea 🙏 My blood ran cold when I read about the deepfake crimes that are happening all over the country, involving MIDDLE SCHOOL girls, mothers, sisters and colleagues! Some of their testimonies are so heartbreaking where they confess to having caught their own brothers & fathers taking inappropriate pictures of them while changing or showering and circulating it in a second 'Nth room' group chat on Telegram!
That second scene was INSANE 😩My eyes were popping out of my sockets & I was screaming at my laptop like MY…
FRRRRR, no once can convince me otherwise 😭😂 His hand was already sneaking under Donghee's sweater 👀
Donghee got scared of taking it to the next level so that's why he stopped him 😭 Totally valid imo, Donghee was acting more on his feelings & love plus cared about not hurting their parents whereas Ho Tae was more hyper fixated on the lust portion of his attraction towards Donghee. Yes he did stay by his side all the time like a puppy but he treated that as more of a "things that best bros do" & didn't even entertain the thought of getting together romantically (from what I understood) until like the end (internalized homophobia I'm guessing). I could be wrong but that was my surface level interpretation of their relationship. I'll give this movie a couple rewatches before I do a solid character analysis for them 👀 (yes, I'm looking for excuses to rewatch, sue me)
And I can't wait to get started on those fanfics for AO3! 🙌🥹
It's gonna be released on iQIYI on Sept 12You need a subscription
It was originally produced with the format of a movie for BIFAN (a Korean film festival) & Korean CGVs but for the OTT platform release, they split the movie into 6 parts, each 20 minutes long. Now we don't know if they'll add extra scenes in there or not, but it's essentially just a movie split into sections which is quite inconvenient imo lol

A good post to get an idea of what's currently happening in South Korea:

The misogyny runs so deep that the father doesn't even care his son sexually abused someone just because he's a "male" and needs to take the CSAT, like what?
