Twisted and Complicated, One-Sided Love!
This just joined GagaOOLala and while on sick leave, I thought to give it a try and what a thrill (especially for me as someone who is interested in Psychology and how minds work).
Please watch it first before reading this, then come back and see if any of the things I say make any sense. 😁
With a high school setting, it might be discouraging because how many high school dramas have we seen? but bear with it for a moment because there is a twist to this story,
We meet a young man with a complicated family history of a sick mother and a father he detests, resulting in him wanting to carry to the burden of the hospital bills. This leads to looking for work. Just his luck (bad or otherwise) that his new high school friend knows of a high paying job and can hook him up. What he is not aware of is that the friend is not only involved in nefarious stuff, but that he is also in love. I see the MDL tag calling this a bromance, there was nothing bro about this romance. Se Jun was in love, he just didn't express it verbally, but he expressed it in every other way. I believe this is because he wasn't sure if he could come out in that way to YJ. He wanted to know Yun Jae's life, needs, interests and wanted to be included in his life. Sadly, Yun Jae is straight as a ruler and interested in a girl who unfortunately only had eyes for Se Jun.
What I found intriguing was how in the end, because of his love for YJ, Se Jun handed himself over to the police for the last crime he committed but, refuses to say why. I would like to put it to you that it's because he fears outing himself. Telling the police that the girl was a proxy for YJ would sound beyond depraved and it really was.
Before the SA, SJ was involved in the underground club, but he drew a line on what he would participate in or not. He also didn't go into that motel room intending to SA the girl. You could see the moment he grew envious of her for receiving such an intimate and romantic gift from YJ and in his jealous rage, he made that awful decision.
In the end, this is a story about one-sided, unrequited love. The girl liked SJ, but SJ liked YJ and YJ liked the girl and nobody won, but everyone paid the price. Deeply unpredictable and gripping to watch. A high recommend from me.
