Jan 2025 Recommendation Challenge

Watch this for my Jan 2025 Recommendation Challenge. Let’s discuss drama.

Story about Alex, who was given a ring of virginity by his mother when he was a child. The ring represents a promise to keep his virginity for the right one at the right time. Young Alex is confused about the meaning of the promise, but he keeps the promise.

Now Alex is 17 years old, he still doesn’t really understand what his mother means with the right one at the right time. Although now he’s quite eager to lose his virginity, he's afraid bad things will happen if he breaks the promise.

Come the faithful night. Jedi announce he will have a party in his house, because his parents aren't at home. Before going to the party, Alex got a present from his late mother, an old polaroid camera, & he brought it to the party to take pictures of his friends. That day, all the classmates had a wild party at Jedi’s house & Alex also snapped some pictures of his friends. The next thing that happens, we see Alex suddenly as a gynecologist doctor, who is in the middle checking out his patient & he passed out because of shock. Yeah, we suddenly jump fast forward to the future.

When wake up, Alex tries to digest the situation as best as he can. Alex finds out he’s no longer friends with his best friends at school, See-ew & Nim, instead he’s a best friend with Army. He goes home just to find out his grandpa was dead & his smart brother, Ice, is a rock musician. He finds the collection of the polaroid photo that he snapped back then and is surprised to see the pictures in the photo are not the result of the things that happened at that time, instead it is something that hasn't happened yet. For example, Army took a photo of Alex in the trunk of the car, but the picture is Alex in a doctor uniform.

When Alex approaches See-ew to ask what happened all these years, just to greet with anger from See-ew. After some convincing, finally See-ew agreed to speak to him. And that moment Alex learns a little about the bad deed he did back then…. Alex showed See-ew the polaroid photo, after some discussion they decided to track back the people in the picture to find out what happened with their life that led to what happens in the picture. They thought if they crack the mystery of the picture, Alex can go back to his own time. And after Alex solved the mystery behind Molly’s picture, they became sure that the picture indeed can be changed & that's the key for Alex to go back to his time.

Fortunately all the friends still can be intouch. Although there are some altercation in the process, Alex tries his best to crack the mystery behind all the pictures. So with that, let's the chasing begin…

Overall this is quite a mature and daring drama. It has a lot of mature scenes & daring statements. But every picture has its own story and lesson that we can learn from it.

Below I’ll write what happened to each picture in order they solved the mystery, not in order of the storyline. But that also means SPOILER ALERT!!! Oh and fair warning, my language is gonna be a little vulgar too, cause not all the pictures can be described politely. Read it at ur own risk.












==================================================
SPOILER ALERT!!!
==================================================

Molly:
The picture shows Molly in a desperate state, it looks like she’s about to take her own life.
Story: Molly has been accepted as the FL in Jean’s movie. But because she's not ur typical pretty FL, a lot of judgment comes from people around. And out of desperation, Molly takes a photo & posts it online.
Message: How to fully embrace who you are, don't let people dictate who you are supposed to be, just let the people see how bright & different you are…

Army & Jo:
The picture shows Army laying down in someone's chest.
Story: Army is Gay and he's open about it. Jo on the other hand, he still hides it, cause he trains soccer for boys & being gay is not a good portfolio for the parents. Army & Jo begin their feelings in highschool, but back then Army still wasn't open about him as gay & he insulted Jo in many cases, making them separated all these years. But when they want to start their relationship, they're having problems not only in bed but also in communication. Army loves sex but Jo feels uncomfortable about it, it's not about the position (bottom or up) or the gender of sex partners, but about something that even Jo himself can't put it in words.
Lesson: Love is not only about sex or how to please urself. But also about you learning about your partner… Respect each other boundaries

Kat:
The picture shows Kat in bruises after she’s beaten up by someone.
Kat is a sexually active woman, she's not committed to anyone and has several sex partners. Unfortunately for her, one of her sex partners turns out to want to control her & because Kat doesn't want to comply with his request, he beats Kat. After the incident, Kat becomes afraid & paranoid, but with the help of her friends, Kat finally is able to fight her fear.
Lesson: how to fight ur fear & live bravely of ur choice. The one who loves you will always stay by ur side back u up.

Jedi & Rose:
The picture shows them in front of the doctor's office, in not a good state, like they’re just received bad news.
Story: Jedi & Rose are dating, but they're having an open relationship. One day they found out that Jedi is having HPV disease & they blamed each other for the one giving them that disease. So, who's to blame in the first place…?
Lesson: How to be truthful and take care of each other.

See-ew:
The picture shows See-ew in black bondage rope, like the one used in S&M sex.
Story: See-ew like role playing with his girlfriend, Liu, he as the dog & Liu as his owner. But one day, Liu just fed up with See-ew who can't grow up & she decided she doesn't want to role play again. See-ew who doesn't want to break up comply with Liu's request, but deep down he still wants to be pet. So See-ew is looking for a get-away online, when he tries to fulfill his fantasy and meet with the woman online, by his bad luck the police caught them red handed with the accusations pornography. That made Liu furious & broke up with See-ew. See-ew feel depressed about it & tell Alex that to help him, Alex needs to help his relationship with Liu.
Lesson: To understand your partner more, not only want to be understood, but instead try to understand each other

Nim:
The picture shows Nim getting ready for giving birth.
Story: Nim is a lesbian, at first Nim thinks the picture is no way to be truth for her because of the fact that she's never gonna sleep with a man. One day, her girlfriend, Bew, makes crazy suggestions for them to have a baby, but since Bew can't be pregnant due to her health issue she asks Nim for it. And because of Nim’s love for Bew she finally gives in & goes through IVF. But something happens that makes Bew & Nim finally break up, when she receives the news that the IVF is successful & she's pregnant, Nim doesn't know what to do. That's when her ex, Molly comes back to the picture…
Lesson: U need to learn to accept the hands that offer you help.

Jean & Alex:
Jean's picture shows her crying & Alex’s picture shows him wearing his doctor uniform.
Story: Turns out the one that hurt the most because of that night of Jade's house party is Jean. Because she's drunk at that party, Jean dances frantically, someone snaps pictures of her wearing inappropriate clothes & posts the picture on the school wall, which makes her get suspended from school & her life only crumbling down from there. To make the matter worse she feels no one offers a hand to help her & she's also got traumatized by Alex that night. But what's it, u need to watch it urself, I'm not going to spoil it even more.
Lesson: To learn that every action has consequences.
