Funny and sad how some people are totally fine when in some series they turn the completely straight person into…
There's this thing called "the closet"; there are many people who identify as straight but really aren't. They don't "turn gay," they just choose to live more honestly.
That really doesn't happen the other way around- LGBTQ people who choose to live LESS honestly (and they do exist) is a real depressing thing.
Actually i disagree with your statement, Christianity doesn't drive LGBT people to suicide, it's the bible that…
I'm glad your particular brand of Christianity has been such a positive experience for you. You have to admit that most Christians are not so affirming of LGBTIQQA people though. Please do your tribe a big big favor and speak to your fellow Christians.
I'm trying to figure out that disastrous ending. The only thing I can think of is that the movie's trying to show how Christianity drives LGBT people to suicide, or turns them into emotionless, love-denying zombies.
To everyone complaining about the sad ending: unlike 99% of BL out there, this movie has a gay lead character. Chai is presented as gay from the very beginning. Most BL, like Love Sick, 2 Moons, etc, the leads are not gay, they usually say something to the effect of "I'm not gay, I'm just in love with [name]." (Which is totally not how male on male romance works IRL.)
And whenever a movie has a gay lead, it cannot end on a happy note. That's simply the way the world is biased.
Enjoyable and cute. NOT BL, but it's sort of meta-BL. It pokes fun, in a general sense, at the BL scene, taking jabs at other BL works like "Love Suck 3," "Waterman," "My Brother."
As the story is about a 'fake' BL couple, this movie was in a perfect position to make some social commentary about LGBTQ rights and social acceptance, as I'd hoped, but it didn't.
And that final scene on the bed, when the two leads hold hands? Unlike most of the Youtube comments, no, no, they DON'T finally become a couple. That's kind of one of the subtle social commentaries this movie does make--why can't two guys be good friends without everyone making their friendship into a gay romance? That attitude just perpetuates homophobia.
So I think I understand the ending. Kim was in a coma for several months, but he regained consciousness and remembered his friendship with Tum. Is that right? What does the translation mean about not being any winter there?

The last 2 trailers have been horror themed. I wonder if that means Soulmates will be released in time for Halloween?
