If you don't cry, you're not human
*outline*
[You may wanna wear headphones and/ watch this alone.] I usually don't swear and I'm guessing I'm not allowed to either because there may be some 10 year olds reading this but- f***.
Don't get fooled by the poster. Watch the trailer. But even that won't compare to what actually happens in the story. Both of them fooled me so well and now I'm crying at 3 am as a result of it. This movie was a real pain in the behind.
*analysis*
STORY : What the heck? I was expecting some crime, mystery, maybe even thriller. But all I got was beautiful pain. Before I knew it, the climax had come and I thought the climax had already happened. Yeah, I got fooled, I got that- but did the director have to do me so dirty? Now... I'll give a real analysis; if you consider what the ending is like, you'll end up hating all the characters and I don't blame you. The ending will also make you realize how slow the pace of the movie is. In the beginning, sure, you'd think the story is getting somewhere as soon as the first scene appears. And it is, until it isn't linked to the end much. The filler scenes just added to the heartbreak at the end. Even the confessions and rejections in this movie hurt. Beautiful. But it still hurt. I don't think I'll be able to get over this movie, especially considering how I won't be able to sleep and it's 3 am on a school morning. I wasn't expecting much from this movie from the very beginning but I didn't realize when it got so addicting. I was expecting something a little lowkey, something that happens between friends. But it didn't end there, there was definitely more to the movie than just that.
ACTING/CAST : Every actor did beautifully. There weren't many background actors, but even they acted well in their roles. Rather than fantasy, this movie was based off on reality and was more like a wake-up call. There wasn't much of a moral to the story but the characters acted so well that I almost feel like I missed what the moral is, and just cried over the movie instead. Kwak Shi Yang has come such a long way since 2014, clearly. I didn't know he'd also played these roles before and hats off to him for making it so big in the entertainment industry. He acted so well that it feels like 2014 Kwak Shi Yang is the same Kwak Shi Yang we find in 2021. I feel like a proud mother even though I'm not a BIG fan. I couldn't love his work more after watching this movie.
MUSIC : Okay, the background instrumentals fit perfectly according to each scene. But there was only one song dedicated to this movie. This movie does seem a little low budget but I also doubt it because a whole school must've been hired out for this, and all those students must've been paid for their roles too. However, I still understand. After all, even 2 songs are a bit much for a movie. It seems very unrealistic to think about unless you consider Bollywood. They're just extra anyways. The song played in the last scene really didn't fit, but I don't feel disappointed because as soon as I saw the credits roll, the waterfalls started again and this time I was sobbing over the unfinished ending. Really, I even went back to the MDL page for this movie but I didn't even see a Night Flight 2. Tsk, ruthless directors. They really left it to our imagination.
REWATCH VALUE : If I rewatch it, I'm still gonna cry and I know it. So I doubt I'll rewatch it for a while because now I have to find a light drama, and MAKE SURE it's INDEED light. And that it doesn't fool me.
*recommendations*
Would definitely recommend this to friends, but be mindful of the two mature scenes when watching. This is why you have to watch it with headphones/alone. Don't watch this with someone straight, they won't be able to handle it honestly. Actually, no one would. I'm practically married to BL and even I couldn't-
Watch more of Kwak Shi Yang. When I said his acting hasn't changed, I wasn't joking. However, I've only seen straight dramas of his; this is the first time I've seen him acting as a gay character. Despite that, I assure you won't be disappointed by his acting. It's beautiful.
