Reviews
"If obsession isn't love, then I have never loved before"
The film stars Kim Go eun as Jae hee, a bold and free-spirited woman, and Noh Sang hyun as Heung soo, a young gay man struggling to accept his identity in conservative Seoul. The story revolves around Jae-hee and Heung soo, who form an unlikely friendship after Jae hee discovers Heung soo's secret. Despite the societal pressure and homophobic attitudes, they support each other and navigate through the complexities of love and acceptance. Jae hee, often misunderstood and judged by others, finds solace in Heung-soo's company, while Heung soo learns to embrace his true self with Jae hee's encouragement.The film beautifully balances heavy themes with lighthearted moments, all thanks to the strong chemistry between the leads. One of the standout scenes is when Jae hee asks, "How can being yourself be a weakness?", encapsulating the film's message of self-acceptance and the power of friendship.
Comparing the movie to its series adaptation, both versions stay true to the core storyline but differ in their execution.
•The series, delves deeper into the characters' backstories and provides more screen time to explore their emotional journeys.
•The movie, on the other hand, condenses the narrative, focusing on the pivotal moments that highlight the characters' growth and their bond.
•The series shows his bold lifestyle and his journey towards love, heartbreak and acceptance, on the other hand the movie emphasizes one of his important part of life i.e Jae Hee and his friendship. We did see a bit part of her in the series but just because movie only revolves around them and their friendship, it was heart touching at times.
Both Lee Soo Kyung/Nam Yoon Su and Kim Go Eun/Noh Sang Hyun are different genre of same kind. Please don't try differentiate between the series and movie as both has its own charm. I enjoyed both of them very much.
Overall, it is a touching tale of friendship, self-discovery, and acceptance, making it a must-watch for fans of heartfelt romances.
Love Wins All
I really never expected. The producers of this film made this movie sharply. South Korea is now one step ahead of others. They are not only making BLs but also making so many unique dramas/ movies about LGBTQ+ society.Firstly the actors just nailed their characters. As I already read the novel so I was worried at first but now all the thoughts of mine are gone .
The actor who played the male character expressed the emotions of his character completely. The sufferings, happiness, sadness everything will attack your heart directly. This drama tells us love has no boundaries.
Talking about the female lead , she is mature, strong and also supportive. She understands his emotions with her heart .
The story is funny and emotional at the same time . When the ml and fl fought with each other ( cat fight) , I really can't hold my laugh. Sometimes I felf they are lovers or besties . There is nothing which they couldn't do like throwing slang words to each other , kicking etc etc .
If you want to watch a good movie with your family members then don't hold yourself back . Definitely worth watching.
