I cried.............

I haven't been writing in a while but this film sets out just the right mood to write a review. Perhaps I’ll start to write reviews on series/dramas again because of this film (If you are wondering, yes, it’s THAT good).

If you are reading this review because you are still contemplating whether or not to watch it, I suggest you to stop wasting your time and go ahead and watch it. My only regret is that I didn't watch this drama when it was first released.

To be honest, I had the intention of watching this movie because of the BL moments (which in my opinion, is very subtle and not as straight-forward as you’d expect it to be). But like I said, I have no regrets watching it because it just blew my mind away. The plot is very intriguing and interesting. It’s not a cliche at all. I had some predictions when I first watched the movie but sadly, none of my predictions were right (kudos to the director for keep on making surprises for the audience).

I am truly amazed by how the film portrays the character Se Jun, to the point that I pity him for getting caught in his obsession and uncontrollable desire. Most of his actions were accidental, driven by his anger, jealousy and lust. It wasn’t obviously stated but you can easily deduce that Se Jun really has a strong feeling towards Yoon Jae; he even bursted out at the end of the movie, not what I expected from the dependable Se Jun.

This movie is just sad (in a good way); it makes the audience start having a lot of what ifs and could have beens. It’s just so good that it made me want to know what would’ve happened if Yoon Jae picked up the calls or if Se Jun was being direct about his feelings. I just wished it had a happy ending, but then again, if that’s the case then it wouldn’t have left me in this state.

Believe me, it’d take weeks for me to completely move on and accept the ending. During that period, people would just have to bear with me telling about how good this film is and how it’s worth every minute of your time to give it a watch. I’d definitely recommend a rewatch (I might just be doing that in the nearest time to really get into the feelings of the characters).

It's such a short story but nothing really falls short

I have to say that I was skeptical at first when I watched the first episode, since it was just about 11 minute long. But turns out that 11 minute was worth every second and I was immediately glued to the series. It was short, but satisfyingly sufficient. Nothing really feels off, although it was not a huge blockbuster.

The plot was simple yet complete. The story was there although it didn't even have to dwell so much in the lqbtq+ world. It was just telling a story of how two person eventually fall in love with each other. Unlike other bl series I have seen, this series focuses more in depth on the back story of the main character and the complexity of his family. It didn't really focus on explicit intimacy but oddly enough, I find it very adequate.

The chemistry between the actors, including the supporting actors, were splendid too. Not only Si-Won fell hard for Da-Won's innocent acting, but I too, found that I was caught in the same situation. It feels realistic to the point that I feel like this series must have adapted from a true story (yes, It's that good!).Supporting actors played their roles perfectly without making us viewers feel annoyed; it instead adds more value to the series. The things that were going on in the family feel real, the issues were well addressed too.

All in all, I enjoyed the series in every aspect; it's simplicity, great acting, back story and everything. I'd definitely recommend watching it as I too, would probably rewatch it soon :>
