A cute, warm story that you should check out.
This is gonna be very short but sweet, just like the kiss scenes in this movie.I haven't watched the series yet (I thought that I would watch the movie first to see if I liked the production) but I probably will do that soon.
The story was a nice change for once. I, who have been watching around 60 BL dramas just enjoyed the fact that there was an openly queer character already at the start of the movie, and I loved the fact that we gays got the "typical" straight triangle drama, where they actually say that they like someone and that everyone in the triangle was guys.
I definitely recommend this movie for a cold winter evening where you feel kinda shit. It will lighten up your mood immensely with its cuteness and warmth. It really showed that you can bring a lot of drama with only a gang of five people.
I'm kinda sad over the lack of kisses tho, but the story was cute and a nice change for once.

A quick feel good fluff
This movie is really sweet. It's a quick watch that will leave you feel really fuzzy and warm inside. Not a lot of people seem to know this show/movie, so production wise I was rather impressed as it is shot really well. Also, the acting was really good. I read some reviews on the drama entry here, and people were pointing out awkwardness. I personally didn't feel this at all in the movie version. Though it is Cha Woo Min's first acting role, his character seemed natural. As well as Kim Yoo Wan.With these short productions I find that the romance usually gets rushed and we don't really get to root for them. But the relationship and feelings between the two seem to develop at a rather normal pace. Also, for a Korean BL, the amount of kissing scenes we get really surprised me. Their chemistry wasn't off the charts, but I felt a few butterflies here and there.
If I had to critique something about the movie, its that the conflict fell a little flat for me. We didn't get to learn ENOUGH about the relationship with Eun Kyu's and his father as well as with Ji Soo to really understand the conflict that happened. They scratch the surface, but we have no emotional scene between these characters - except the conflict - to make us understand what they are feeling.
Overall, the movie had a standard storyline, but I enjoyed it. There were no surprises, no unexpected plot. It simply portrayed a sweet romance. Sometimes, you really need that.

it's like a very cute but small purse
the crash hello in the beginning was Very Cute, i actually had to go back and replay it the first time i watched this because i found it so charming. on the other hand, it foretold what the rest of this movie was like: cute but lacking substanceit's something to be expected from k BLs, so i'm not upset about it, although the conflict here does feel really....overblown and dramatic for how it developed or turned out lmao.
the pacing was actually not rushed, which is a rarity for what we tend to get in BLs from South Korea, but actual development of the plot? wonky. We sometimes jump around places without any much sense of where stuff actually is or...why the characters are there (or How did they get there, like can anyone just walk into Haewon's place without anyone stopping him? is there no locks in his room? lol), nor do you really ever understand why a 15 year friendship gets threatened so severely over Haewon...I mean the characters do tell you but you don't ever get the sense that it was ever THAT serious, even when they're legitimately fist fighting over it.
it IS still quite cute, Haewon in particular reminded me a bit of a calmer but still adorable puppy, (his smile is also very Luminous, it's unsurprising how the two friends were instantly attracted to him), but substance? nope, not here. I was already somewhat aware of this when I watched it but yeah, do your best to turn off that brain lol. is otherwise pretty okay considering the entire movie is literally 1.5 hours and the original series was only 10 minutes long per episode.

this is my comfort show
no words can describe how much i love this show, while i know its not perfect and there is plotholes i still love this serie soo much. first the chemistry of the leads is so goooooooood i need to see them in another bl serie please :( the chemistry and the kissing scenes are so good, i was looking for the movie after watching the serie because i missed it a lotand the ost? perfection, i saved the song in my phone i love listening to that type of music
Cha Woo Min has a perfect smile like a sunshine, the actor is so pretty and cute and he reminds me of someone... jimin of bts maybe? i dont know whats about it, probably his eyes or his smile, as jimin also give a bright vibe as he also has a beautiful smile.
i will say definitively that this korean bl serie is my comfort serie and im glad i watched it, its underrated so im really glad that i find it out accidently, i highly recommend it, it feels like something that lift your mood and make you naturally smile
