STORY: This is a fantastic and funny buddy comedy. Some parts were downright hilarious. There's also a big sex scene in it, no doubt the reason why it's rated MATURE, though there's no frontal nudity. I liked that it had a very realistic ending and yet was still a happy one.

ACTING/CAST: I'm always amazed at how actors can bare it all for their parts, and this is especially brave of them in the LGBT Korean climate. Bravi!

MUSIC: Good

Rewatch Value: Sure, I'll watch it again. It's fun.

OVERALL: I loved that this was a fun view into the lives of a group of gay friends in Korea.

Silly and more fun if not taken seriously. *Not a romantic story! The twist at the end was unexpected and somewhat humorous; it felt like a lot of build up for one big joke though. 29min. I was expecting a little more depth (with characters and emotions) in this longer short film since it's produced by Strongberry and they can do so much with 10 to 20 minutes. If you don't expect that, you may enjoy this more.

The comedic style didn't really work for me (didn't make me laugh) but it was consistantly applied throughout by the actors and director. There was a lot shown for the sex scene, but it’s also done in a comedic vein and I didn't find the way it was approached very enticing.

Edited: The Hangul that shows up by each person at the end are not speech bubbles (as I originally thought) but the names of the character / actor.

I won't rewatch.
