When putting on a play on a lesbian’s suicide attempt, Yun Jeong, an open lesbian in school who plays a leading role in the theater production accuses Ji Won of writing the play without having a better understanding of homosexuality. As such accusation hurts her feelings, Ji Won intentionally approaches Yun Jeong’s ex-girlfriend, Min A, and revises her play script that gradually begins to resemble the story of a real-life ex-lesbian couple, Yun Jeong and Min A. At the same time, Ji Won gets carried away by her growing feelings for Min A. (Source: Letterboxd) Edit Translation

Way under rated

This was such a roller coaster of emotions from beginning to end. It was pretty short so there's not much to say, except I'm incredibly impressed by the people who made this happen. I have watched this so many times trying to figure out what happened at the end and coming up with all sorts of theories and each time I'm even more intrigued than the last. If this were made into a full-length movie or even a short drama where the character's emotions and thoughts could have been explored more, I would watch it religiously.

Korean gl cc. 2017.

A RANT
A high school story, not really a romance, about three girls and secrets and the consequences of betrayal. The story is well written, the actresses are excellent, the cinematography, all in the cold grays and pale blues filmes with a shaky handheld camera which conveys urgency and doom! There is no music whatsoever!

I loved it until the last 5 minutes ruined the whole film for me! Teens are impressionable but here it was taken too far for my liking! The girl is ostracized by the whole school because of a scandal, she bravely comes back and accepts to give an interview which goes haywire. So she cannot deal with a stupid little secret being revealed when the first time around it was even worse?

Why oh why oh why do they keep doing this? Why do we need to have things end tragically like this? Because real life is like that I guess but can't we just have a little bit of optimism in entertainment industry? Because queer stories are not the society norm so they should have the appropriate ending as a warning to those who veer of the right path?

Oh, give me a break!!!!!
