i tried to watch this movie a few years back but got piled up with uni work. picking this back up was a good thing. besides the hilarious moments, there were hard-hitting scenes that fully grips your emotions.

a part of me is happy that an lgbtq+ movie like this remarkably shows the deeply rooted feelings and struggles of internal homophobia. even though the real world is slowly becoming progressive, we can't deny there's still a long way to go. the wounds from words and abuse that lgbtq+ community face is very much present to this day.

min soo and hyo jin both deserve their lives free from discrimination. what i loved from this movie is seeing them standing up against the world and telling them, "if you can love, why can't we?" i liked kim dong yoon's performance during those powerfully emotional scenes. he truly knows how to deliver. hyo jin's scenes with min soo were fun to watch and the serious parts were done well.

what i was a bit bitter about was that i wanted to see more of hyo jin and seo yung. it's already a rarity to see a lesbian couple so i was bummed to not get much of an insight into their relationship. i mean, c'mon they're also main characters so why didn't we see enough of them? however, i do appreciate the actresses for playing their roles well though they didn't get enough screentime. despite it all, the ending does make up for it

one more aspect of this that i side-eyed was that there were gay characters that seemed to be stereotypes. even then, despite the acting being a bit over the top at times, g voice had a lot of comedic moments.

overall, this was a movie that aims to not only make you laugh but also open your eyes. with a great balance of comedy and seriousness, i'm not ashamed to recommend it.
