I wanted to like this more than I did. The main problem is that the story has been told so many times, in so many other movies and TV shows.

There are a lot of long pauses between lines of dialog. It makes many of the scenes drag and in a few cases allowed me enough time to say out loud what the next line would be. I was right about 3/4 of the time, which should tell you how predictable the script is.

I didn't care for a scene where it looks as though the ML is going to kill himself. It turns out that he doesn't, but we never learn if he never actually intended to commit suicide or if he changed his mind about going through with it. I think the answer is important to our understanding of the character.

The acting is generally excellent and there's really nothing else to fault with this production. It's just a little too much of a re-tread, which makes its slow pace feel even slower, and even though the ML's "coming out" is ultimately successful there's still something a little joyless about the outcome.

Underrated

Such an underrated movie for me. The rating should be higher. There's many lessons that can be taken from this movie.

Story :
I'm getting emotional when watching this movie. Usually this kind of story will be having a tragic ending. But I'm glad it doesn't have it. Thank you writer-nim. ^^

Acting/Casting :
The casting was pretty good. It match with the character. And I haven't complain about their acting.

Music :
Soundtrack at the ending was good.

Overall 8.9/10 :)
