Confusing till the very end
*outline*
Honestly, the title of the movie really didn't fit. Even looking at it metaphorically, I couldn't see any link between the movie and its title. The movie isn't even as sweet or as blissful as the thought of transitions between seasons. It's probably the exact opposite. The title and the poster really had me fooled. However, in one way the story did fit the title. The transitions and skips will tell you how.
*analysis*
STORY : I have never rated the story lower than everything else, no- anything else, in any drama or movie before. However, the mass amount of time skips going back and forth just confused the heck out of me. The skips explained what was happening and all but it wasn't even clear that a skip in time had happened until I noticed some things that seemed weird and out of order. If only the skips hadn't confused me so much, maybe the story rating would've been a ten. The overall story was really good too, and definitely well-written if you ignore the time skips.
ACTING/CAST : The actors did so well in playing their own parts. That is one of the things I'm most confident of. No scene was over dramatized and it really felt like the main leads knew what they were doing and how they were meant to play out their characters. Usually BLs in Korea aren't 'normal' or, at least, what you'd find everyday. Especially because it isn't widely excepted yet like it may be in the West. But everything between them felt real, except for the parts where they seemed more like friends rather than lovers. There was only one scene which made me realize they are actually in love but that can't be blamed on the characters. That was really all on the director or the playwright.
MUSIC : The two tracks I remember were so good. The fact that they were very subtly placed into the movie was so well done. It's just really unfortunate I couldn't actually find the tracks but I'm sure if I looked hard enough I might be able to.
REWATCH VALUE : Because of the large amount of confusion still playing in my head about the movie, I was wondering whether to give it a high rewatch rating. However, it was definitely worth the first watch and rewatching it would definitely explain each scene must better so I gave it a 9.5 anyways.
*recommendations*
I personally think Thai BLs about couples in college and stuff would be a good watch but that totally depends on your own liking. Visit my Custom List "Asian BLs" which includes Korean, Thai, and Taiwanese BLs to see some of my watches. I don't actually give very low ratings because I believe every story has a moral and that every love is shown in its own way which may be what romance directors attempt to portray. If you're like me then definitely check them out !! ^.^
