an enjoyable movie, through and through.
“Why do you want me to fall in love with another guy?”This movie is a perfect example of what a ‘complete package of emotions’ in a movie looks like. It goes, literally goes, from absurd to funny to weird to confusing to heartbreakingly-sad to suspense to mystery to funny again and back to sad again and ending it with a heartwarmingly-powerful ending. Although I do feel like the movie is grasping too many topics to focus on, but I think they still nailed it. If some of you already watched Along with The Gods, I think this story is kinda the same to that. Well, except, Till We Meet Again is the romantic version of Along with The Gods, and its much more sadder than that (I used three sheets of tissues cause I was literally crying like 4 times and each time I cried was harder than before lmfao). Plus how dare this movie put their jokes in a middle of sad scenes? Like come on, the first minute I was laughing, and the next minute I was crying (so hard)—only to be invited to laugh again in the middle of crying.
And…. have I told you that the acting carried this whole movie? Kai Ko, Vivian Sung, and Gingle Wang are absolutely charming in this movie. I really love how Kai Ko and Vivian Sung are really expressive with their acting, and they successfully invited their audience to felt the same emotions like them.
I really love that Tao Ming Tse reference, plus that Harlem Yu song… Qing Fei De Yi right? I UNDERSTOOD THAT REFERENCE!!! *insert that one captain america in the elevator meme*
All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed this movie, it was funny and sad but powerful. I might consider to watch this again, who knows?

The FL is a free spirit and a warm-hearted person. I love, by the way, her tattoos. It’s almost impossible to find a FL in a romantic Asian drama sporting/showing tattoos; they just add to her character. The ML meets the FL when she mistaken his car for her friend’s cheating boyfriend’s car, and was in the act of vandalizing it. The movie has some funny, cute, romantic moments. You will also want to watch on a full stomach because there are a lot of focus on food. I wish this movie is a 16 episode drama so that we can see more of everything: the blossoming friendship and love between the two leads, the second love story between the ML’s secretary and the FL’s best friend, the ML’s relationship with his father, and fleshing out the interesting hotel staff. Although I waited almost two hours for a kiss that never materialized, I wasn’t too disappointed because the ending was so cute, romantic, and heartwarming. As a personal preference, I like this movie much more than the 2020 Chinese drama adaptation. Was this review helpful to you?
Is this worth watching?
The simple answer is... ABSOLUTELY YES!I wrote my spoilerless review here:
https://fanperspectivereviews.wordpress.com/2021/12/02/is-blue-painful-fragile-worth-watching/
In addition, I really love watching Hana Sugisaki. She's great, and would love to see more of her.
Also, I would love to read the novel of which this movie is based. I think reading it will somehow give justice to some of my thoughts for the movie. I just can't find an ebook version. I want to buy the actual book, It just happens the I have no enough funds for it.... hahaha....

MATURE Psychologial triller with a couple of great plot twists!
I saw this a few years after it came out, and BOY, was it a good movie!It starts out with Hyeon Ah (Jeon Cho Bin) plying her 'trade' and being exploited/harassed/assaulted by her 'employers'...
Out of the blue, while being 'harassed' by her 'employer', a quiet man , Jeong Ho (Heo Dong Won), appears and quickly 'ends' the conversation between Hyeon Ah and her 'employer'; followed by a taxi ride, her being drugged, and waking up in chains.
Heo Dong Won gave an excellent performance as an unwanted 'benefactor' to Hyeon Ah, since she initially protested his help and Jeon Cho Bin did an excellent performance, in and out of bed, and made the plot twists fabulous!
Both mail and female leads did a fantastic job on this movie. The support cast, Ji Jeong-woo, also did an outstanding job on this movie; especially in his last two scenes on the film! I would also like to mention the support couple who allowed us a glimpse into Jeong Ho's head (Their names are not mentioned at any film site I tried - Sorry!).
Nothing personal, but actress Bo ri isn't really needed in this movie, but she did put on a few fantastic bedroom scenes throughout the last part of the movie; her only real significance to the movie is her discussion with Ji Jeong-woo near the end.
The music at first is psychedelic, which help set up Jeong Ho's mentality and his actions throughout the first part of the film: it turns more 'normal" as the relationship turns normal as well. That, with excellent editing from the director and editor, makes great cimatography overall.
Not to give everything away, but major twists in this film, especially at the end, make this movie more than worth putting up with some sex scenes and topless women scattered throughout!
RE-WATCH VALUE, especially is you like psychological thrillers

FOR THE 1 % ; POETIC JUSTICE
I dunno what compelled me to watch this movie, but perhaps it was the poster.The name might suggest something of a controversial and absurd to an extent.
But the director's vision was way ahead.
Something so silly yet true for perhaps each and every one of us out there, where things don't proceed since we realize it's wrong at an early stage itself.
The whole movie is an art and reflection of poetic justice :
Falling in love with someone who's your cousin.
Indeed it's controversial but you have to accept that it's a poetic visionary.
It's a universal given that some people's first crush is always their cousin.
But things don't escalate further as you realize the sensitivity.
This movie takes it to a whole new level.
I loved each and every second of it.
The portrayal, the sexual tension, the side gazing, the talks.
It focuses on how things develop, slow and steady.
It's more about why you choose to love rather than who you love, how naturally it develops and how it feels when you realize it.
If you love movies to a true extent, you'll find this movie fascinating.
I'm still in awe, especially with the acting.
It felt so natural, I could literally feel each and everything.
Both the actors did a terrific job.
It's almost like this movie deserves awards, especially the actors.
Commendable acting .
I'm short of words, this needs to be applauded.
A must watch .
SPOILER AHEAD :
~ Maybe the closer you're to the answer the more of a mess you paint.
The irony is that they didn't even show them doing any act, just let the imagination to us.
Damn, it's more effective.
Until they did something, it develops to the point where you can't resist.
My fav scene from the movie is when she asks :
' How did you find me? '
He says ' Feelings '
The way he was nervous and tense while trying to find her but close his eyes, relaxed and tried to focus.
That scene is stuck in my mind.
Beautiful.
The increase in intensity on the last day was at its peak.
I could literally feel it.
That they want each other but can't
That they won't see each other for quite some time now.
And he decides to burst the bubble.
' If there are people who feel distant even after millennia,
there are people you can fall in love with within an instant. '
The ending scene is what makes you emotional, the director's aim to portray how much he loves her while not choosing to smoke and laughing realizing how much he does.
This movie invoked my feelings of how it feels to be in love

I'd say while this movie must have been praised back then, it's definitely dated now.
The vignette style was choppy and distractingly done. I like vignette style when it's done in a cohesive way- they do not necessarily have to be connected to each other or the main plot arc but each arc must be dealt with equal weight/attention and brought to full closure by the end. Like they should go round and round throughout the movie; 1,2,3,4-1,2,3,4, 1,2,3,4.In Tampopo, you get random arcs thrown in from here and there, and even after the movie had run half its course, it was STILL introducing new characters and I gave up. It went like this; 1,2,3,4- 2,5,4- 1,4,3,6
Also there were some scenes that would def not be palatable to average modern audience/would be censored or come with a warning: the gross egg yolk and oyster scene... also they killed an actual live softbelly turtle onscreen.
On top of that, the storytelling was simply too overdramatic at times.
Overall not an experience I enjoyed. If you want to explore Japan's food culture through a golden oldie movie... well, this is not it. I'd suggest finding another one. I'm sure there are plenty.

If South Korea produced a remake of "3 Idiots", this would be it.
This drama is just two knuckleheads running around South Korea and doing weird stuff together. I guess it was a little funny?? But what little humour couldn't even make up for the lacklustre and dry plot. There's nothing original or interesting about this movie. I suggest you save your time to go watch something else.In summary:
What i liked - Kang Ha-neul and Park Seo-jun
What i disliked - The entire movie
Star of the show: N.A.
Rating: 4.5/10
Watch if you want to be as stupid as the two characters.

A film that frustratingly never reaches its potential...
If I rate it as an action flick, it's a solid 9/10 because of the excellently choreographed action scenes and shots. Very well-made in that respect.However if I had to rate it overall, it's a 6.5-7/10. Occasionally it's okay to overlook certain aspects if characters or the world-building really shines. Sadly here, neither does and so it frustratingly never reaches its potential due to the lack of depth overall.
1. The Characters and Acting.
It's a bit hard to gauge whether it was simply bad acting or whether they were given very little to work with. Honestly, I've seen the actors in better roles. The film's setting could've been a great foundation to explore morally grey characters. Instead, we are given forgettable and oddly cliched characters. The female lead ends up being a damsel-in-distress. The male lead is a tortured soul. The antagonists are tough militants.
The attempt to make the leads a little more interesting in the second half falls flat. It just didn't work in the movie's favour to create these plot twists out of the characters' actions because it just highlighted the tonal inconsistency.
2. World-Building
The opening sequence was fantastic, sets the dystopian world very well. And that's all we see of it. It's frustrating how we never see more development because it would've helped us to understand why our characters are doing what they're doing. The visuals are a little jarring, especially when it transitions from the conflict into present day 2029. Although it's not far off from today, it would've helped if things looked more 'dystopian'. Similar to my comments about the characters, the lack of world-building shone a light on the movie's inconsistency in tone.
3. Music and Action
Best parts of the movie. I have no major issues with how the score accompanied the theme. The gunfights/ action scenes were excellent as the choreography/ direction here was fantastic.
4. Story/ Adaptation
I can't comment on how faithful this adaptation has been, although I've read that it's fairly respectful of the original source material (except for the ending). The story was simple and unfortunately the attempt to deepen the plot with a fairytale analogy wasn't executed well. The illustrative aspects of it was stunning, on par with the opening sequence (and I wished they used more of these visuals throughout)
And then there was the ending! It fit the eerie dystopian setting at all...
5. Conclusion
As an action movie, this is fantastic- the sequences and visuals are well-executed. If a little more thought went into exploring the themes, and world-building, then this movie would be brilliant. My score would go higher that a 6.5. However it's a shame that they prioritised action over substance. I'm not asking for a highly philosophical debate, rather it would've been nice just to give us a little bit more. And maybe I would've cared more about our characters and where they eventually ended up.

Simple and Humble.
This is one of those simple movies that is buoyed solely by the emotional appeal. It invokes us to think and I loved its quiet production.Mitsuomu, aspiring for a 'cool' job, moved to Tokyo years ago. He returns back to his hometown, now disillusioned and hopeless. Everyone expects him to take over his father's furniture craft (a job he had ridiculed before), putting him at odds with him.
However, he meets Yamato, an orphaned boy who was adopted by his Grandfather. His optimistic and lively demeanour soon changes Mitsuomu's view on life.
The relations between the grandfather and Yamato and Mitsuomu and his parents are the very backbone of the movie, despite not being strongly stressed on. Their rapport with each other was slowly built bit by bit. Romance is not a prominent aspect, but they were really heart-warming to watch.
I did wish that they showed scenes of Mitsuomu evincing his interest in Carpentry. It was told in passing and did not seem convincing enough.
Overall, it's a really pleasant watch.

“Nature or Nurture?”; The Ultimate Question of ‘ Hwayi:A Monster Boy’
Director Jang Joon Hwan and screenwriter Park Joo Seok’s attempted to delve deeper into the ultimate debate of “ nature vs nurture” with ‘Hwayi: A Monster Boy’ - a savage action-thriller that is expedited by its gratuitous fight scenes. Despite Jang Joon Hwan’s film bringing forward TV star Yeo Jin-goo’s first silver-screen debut, the film’s scant insight into the motives and drives of its odd ensemble of characters alongside shoehorned storytelling and dialogue, will likely test the patience (at times) of action-genre enthusiasts and casual watchers alike.
The movie focused upon the titular main lead Hwayi ( Yeo Jin Goo); a high-school boy who was kidnapped as an infant and brought up by a gang of sadistic thugs. From a young age Hwayi has been reared into becoming a perfect killer by his five “ dads”: Suk-tae (Kim Yun-seok), Jin-sung (Jang Hyun-sung), Ki-tae (Cho Jin-woong), Dong-beom (Kim Sung-kyun) and Beom-soo (Park Hae-jun). However after turning seventeen, Hwayi is soon forced to face the reality of his upbringing as questions soon rise towards his birth parents against his violent nurturing and environment.
Jang Joon Hwan’s 2003 success ‘ Save The Green Planet’ was a work that combined graphic violence, fantasy and social critique to create a daring result. In many ways ‘ Hwayi: A Monster Boy’ shared a lot of similar themes with its predecessor- bloodlust gore and themes revolving around captivity and humanity blooming to life in an attempt to hook and intrigue viewers. However, whilst ‘ Save The Green Planet’ was a movie that possessed tactful multilayered themes and topics, ‘ Hwayi: A Monster Boy’ struggled to sketch-out the same depth as Joon Hwan’s previous work due to a notable key issue; writing.
In theory, Hwayi’s complicated relationships with his five fathers should have been the backbone of the entire movie. However, their character-drives and definitive personality traits were so ineptly draw together at times in Park Joo Seok’s fictional and niche microcosm of convicts and killers, that it was often difficult to truly differentiate them apart. Aside from Suk-tae acting as the boy’s main rearer and as the leader of the group( who is revealed to have his own motives in a twist which whilst climatic, lacked pretension, )and doltish Ki-Tae who sincerely showed affection for the boy , the other men’s reasons and personal motives for bringing up the boy and corrupting Hwayi were rarely tackled or given convincing explanations.
Playing Hwayi as a character pushed over the edge, Yeo Jin Goo could admittedly often lack an air of subtlety by overstating his character’s angst. Nonetheless Yeo Jin Goo gives the main lead an edge of complex fragility, instability and sympathy for audiences. His budding romance for classmate and potential love interest Yoo-kyung (Nam Ji-hyun), one of the few female characters of the movie( who lacked definitive qualities) , acted as a lighthearted respite from the movie’s downbeat narrative.
Costarring alongside Yeo was Kim Yun Seok. The venerable actor added a running streak of brutality and viciousness to his onscreen persona Suk-Tae. Nevertheless despite the brilliant dynamic charm of Kim Yun Seok onscreen, tedious dialogue exchanges against lukewarm chemistry between him and Yeo during scenes rarely instilled tour de force moments when ambiguous feelings of love and contempt became apparent in their final conflict.
In terms of pacing the narrative is filled with adrenal energy- suspenseful and expedited by its violence, but given the myriad of action sequences and locations shown throughout the film, the pinnacle conflict of the movie was climatic yet slightly incoherent also . ( Especially due to sporadic editing at times.) A notable issue which should also be addressed within ‘ Hwayi: A Monster Boy’ was its presentation of female characters. Whilst it is arguable that Joon Hwan and Joo Seok may have been trying to present a critique towards the infringement of gender stereotypes within South-Korean society, the lacking scope for female archetypes aside from the nameless, abused wife of Im Hyung Taek ( Seo Hyung Hwa), and “ love interest” Yoo-Kyung, served little purpose or depth exploration aside from being plot devices to keep the storyline moving.
Of course it’s wrong to entirely critique the movie. Admittedly well-mounted cinematography served as aesthetic eye candy for viewers with inventive and intuitive choreographed fight scenes paired together with a subtle yet momentous score.
Overall ‘ Hwayi: A Monster Boy’ was a film which will likely appease and irk audiences alike. The notable cast lineup did not disappoint and whilst the polished and slick fight sequences and gruesome violence will likely appeal to many fans of the genre, the bogged-down dialogue against cliche-ridden characters and plot will test genre aficionados and casual watchers alike. However, whilst the ending certainly helped to wrap up several key plot points, the end outcome of ‘ Hwayi: A Monster Boy’ was a mixed-result of gory and hare-brained carnage against some insightful delves into nurture, crime and parenting along the way.

Uncle Vanya after a nuclear disaster.....!
That must have been the most overrated, over hyped, unjustifiably long and pretentious film I've ever seen. I don't know and I can't even imagine why this film got so many awards.For me at least was an unsuccessful attempt to convey with some beautiful cinematography and pretentious moody acting some very questionable ideas.
BE AWARE SPOILERS AHEAD
Fukaku Yusuke a stage actor and director, who is repeatedly cheated by his wife Oto , feels cheated. ( how original!!)
The messed up by the death of their child wife Oto, cheats on him and has sex with her lovers even in their own home . Having sex with her husband and other men is a very inspiring process for her though, because it makes her create stories that made her a famous screenwriter. Fukaku Yusuke's wife dies at some point from natural causes and he feels, - on top of being cheated- guilty because he wasn't able to save her.
Two years later, Misaki becomes Yusuke's driver for the duration of his stay at Hiroshima, where he is assigned to direct a stage play, ( Uncle Vanya by Anton Chekhov), In the process we learn that she feels anger and hate for her psycho mother who brutally abused her when she was a child. Her mother dies in a natural disaster accident and Misaki feels guilty too because she didn't want and probably wasn't able to save her.
Takatsuki Koshi a young idol actor and one of Yusuke's wife's lovers is cast to play Uncle Vanya in the stage play that Yusuke is directing, a multilingual adaptation of this stage play where all the actors and the actresses of the cast speak a different language. Japanese, Korean, Chinese, and even sign language ( I don't know what could have been the purpose of such an adaptation. If the concept after all was to make the audience of the play read over titles then it should have been a more valid option to play Uncle Vanya in Russian!!).
Takatsuki's career is messed up too after being caught up to have an affair with a minor.
During the rehearsals of the play, assaults a guy who photographed him without his consent and afterwards he is lecturing Yusuke about how truthful in her ideal was his wife, how much she loved her husband ( !!) and how inspirational and deep was for her to f@ck with other men (including himself of course!) The guy he assaulted dies after a while at the hospital.
And then we get to the point ( at last). And the point is that Yusuke shouldn't feel angry and he shouldn't feel wronged because his wife was after all true to herself, ( even though she wasn't true to him) that Misaki shouldn't feel this way about her mother, because her mother was also true to herself (even though she had a multiple personality disorder !).
But the same absolution doesn't apply in the case of Takatsuki who ends up being arrested even though he was probably equally true to himself and his intentions when he assaulted and eventually killed the guy who took the photo.
And that's what the movie is all about. Almost three hours of beautifully filmed but completely pretentiously acted attempt to persuade us that everything is fine as long as we take other people's shit as they are, hoping perhaps that things will get better in the ... afterlife... ( ??) ha ha haaa
4 out of 10 from me just for the sake of the cinematography.
The plot sucks and it's intentions are at least questionable.

forgettable
This was a bad movie . The story was super bland, the characters were not likable. The only redeeming quality about this movie is Mr. Chen Feiyu. That man is an angel and deserves more than this movie gave him.Story: Never once during this movie was I anticipating what would happen next in this movie. There was no story at all. The plot was very very bland. This movie supposedly tells of a high school romance and what happens 10 years later but there really is not much to tell. I can barely remember a thing that happened in this movie it was so boring.
Characters: The main character Geng Geng was super annoying, I did not like her one but. She just yelled a lot and would heavily breath afterwards for an absurd amount of time. Her friends were forgettable as well, every character peaked in high school no character had any development whatsoever. Yu Hai was just there, I can’t remember him doing much either. None of the characters did much of anything. Chen Feiyu played that role though and he looked really handsome during the time jump.
The chemistry was not there at all, this is because the script and the plot was so lacking. I was rooting for them to not end up together.
The would not recommend this movie to anyone. Only those who are fans of any of the actors present maybe I would recommend it to. For me I watched this for Chen Feiyu and I was not disappointed in him, I was disappointed in the story and script he was given to work with, he did the best with what he was given but he deserves so much better. Hopefully Immortality will get to air soon so we can see him in a role that deserves him and one that he is passionate for.

On her first day in high school the FL meets the ML and provides him direction to their high school. The boy turns out to be handsome, outgoing, and popular. Although she’s been bullied and made an outcast since a child, the FL never lost her kindness, cheerfulness, or innocence. The ML sees this side of her, beyond the girl people call “Sadako,” and starts to like her. She doesn’t have the confidence to believe that anyone would like her, or would like to be her friends. Her goodness, however, wins over two girls. These two girls are great friends, and people she much needed in her life. They don’t give up on her and defend her from bullies. I love her BFFs. The ML, too, is kind and sweet. His actions, to any other girls, would certainly convey the message that he likes her, but for the FL, she’s confused and cannot believe that the ML would like someone like her. When he finally asks her out and to be his girlfriend, she panics and turns him down. Her friends convince her to tell him the truth about how much she likes him but just panicked. The homeroom teacher counsels the ML that he should see beyond the FL’s words and to understand why she turned him down. So, the end we have a love confession and the two ends up together. This drama is so cute and innocent. I love the most her two friends. I love that the ML never wavers in his love for her from day one, and I love how he is so sweet and kind to her.

irrational and unbelievable
I know that this movie is a remake of a show, so you’d think that I’d wish it was longer? Yet- this movie feels /so/ long.I don’t like romances that are just about two people falling in love. They have to have something that sets them back, something that they are going through to make it interesting. This story doesn’t.
It’s about Geng Geng and her attatchment to her desk mate (Yu Huai). The reality is, this is supposed to be a romance between the two, unfortunately I only believe it’s Geng Geng and her infatuation with Yu Huai . Why do I say that? Well Geng is the main character and you see this through her, and what I see is her character lying to find reasons for herself to hang out with Yu Huai . He is supposed to like her, I see what the story is supposed to be- but I don’t believe any of it.
It’s like this is a recap of something, going back and forth between the past and the present. The past takes up way too much time and is uninteresting as it’s just Geng most of the time either thinking about Yu Huai or talking about him, and when Yu Huai is in the story she is just looking at him. I don’t see any reason why he’d like her, other than her just being the main character so it’s a default. She isn’t rational, she is annoying and unrealistic and does things she doesn’t have to. She expects Yu Huai to like her after one meeting and reads into things, and the most frustrating part is that the story does that too. The story wants to make up something that isn’t there and plainly doesn’t make sense. Why does Geng Geng like Yu Zhuhai?Why does Yu Huai like her? I’d love to see more backstory of him but it’s not there. What is interesting with the dynamic between the two at all? Her life seems to revolve around the fact that she likes him, she studies for college for him and doesn’t have anything for herself at all.
Now talking about the future. I couldn’t pay attention to any scene other than Chen Feiyui being on screen. He is the reason I watched this because he is so handsome and my all time favorite. As for his character Yu Huai.. since his backstory hadn’t been fleshed out I don’t care for him. I found him to be arrogant as a kid and able to do so much because he was smart, what made him likable was the pressure he was given.. since that wasn’t developed enough in the end he was a character I was frustrated with. The motives for him- I couldn’t find any. These characters are together just because they have to be, because that’s what the source material was. They were together there, so they are here
This movie is boring, not a linear plot. It leaves a lot to be desired. BUT Chen Feiyu is such a handsome guy, he’s putting the effort here and has so much charisma outside of what character he was given. Waiting for HYX to see him with a more fleshed out character that’s worth the effort.
Story/Plot: not paced well at all. It goes here and there and to every place but the ones you’d want to see. Focuses on the past too much, I understand it was from the source material but that was a show. Since this is a movie something else should’ve been done, or maybe not have been done at all
Acting/Cast: Chen Feiyu gets all the best with the rating. It would be higher if I cared for the characters.
Music: pretty generic, not too outsourcing but it does it’s job.
Rewatch Value: I was checking the time to see how much was left thirty minutes in, and then an hour in also. It’s a pretty movie, but I don’t care for it. I won’t watch it again. Only would to see Chen Feiyu, that is when he’s on screen.

too short
i get this a short film - but u blink and this is over - so really donno how i feel, after watching this. how can u judge and come to any conclusions from 7min's (if that) of film?!?u get a rough idea of what is going on, but how can u judge the motivation behind their words an actions?!? is Jung Soo really the bad-guy (a load of commenters r calling him) we forgetting he's gay and probably in the closet - deep in the closet(?) so maybe his indecisiveness and breaking up with Ho Bin, didn't steam from him not loving him, or being a player. but by his inability to live out in the open as a gay. this Korea we talking about, it's not just the public's reaction but the parents, family and friends and as far as i know, it's not(!) that easy to live 'out and proud' in Korea.
so looking at this, with that in mind - i saw desperation in his actions, yeah he manipulated the situation even forced Ho Bin to admit that even though he's saying "no", he really isn't over Jung Soo or their relationship. not mature way to deal with the situation, but when the heart is concerned r any of us capable of acting rationally?!? here we go back to ex's (that we Know r bad for us) knowing they playing us, and nothing good with come out of resuming the relationship - just cause our heart can't "stand strong" against them coming back for a second or third chance.
so this was interesting, but left undecided as to what i feel about this film as a whole. thinking positively, i hope that this time around Jung Soo has decided that he will stand tall and fight not only for Ho Bin to take him back - but for them to make it as a couple and live out and proud.
considering in life nothing is definite - Jung Soo could get cold feet and after a while again (cause of pressure from his family) break-up with Ho Bin to be with a woman. and the only way Ho Bin could have a relationship with Jung Soo was if it was a secret. not unheard off.
so this leaves a lot of food for though, let alone avenues to how this could develop. but as it's left to our imagination - i feel let down by how little we get to "chew on" and that's why it only got 3.5 stars.
