This was genuinely funny and felt like a creative spin on the typical short length series. The FL is genuinely smart, fights back and wins, and protects the ML even though he may have more business power. They're a great power couple where the FL takes the lead and the ML is just happy to be there even if people misunderstand him as a kept man.
It is a slow movie, but that's very reminiscent of its time. It's genuinely quite intriguing with layers of mystery throughout the dramatic romance. It had a very surprising ending as well. It holds up well and the fun beach setting with the sun tribe time period made for an interesting watch.
I absolutely hated this. SA is a terrible thing that destroys and this movie does exactly that. There's no nuance,…
This could've been a meaningful story with two broken people bonding over their trauma, internalized hatred, and healing. Instead it's just a a gross depiction of SA over and over again with no real sympathy or care for actual SA victims.
I absolutely hated this. SA is a terrible thing that destroys and this movie does exactly that. There's no nuance, sympathy, or sincerity in this. The graphic gratuitous SA scenes perpetrate exactly what the story is attempting to go against. A viewer can feel disgusted and horrified with way less than they showed. Instead the directing seemed to enjoy such scenes and I hated every second of it and had to skip so much of the runtime. I finally dropped this with 30 minutes left after the FL "goes against" the assaulter is the dumbest and unrealistic way possible.
The height difference was so adorable. I loved that the ML still bought her heels and she continued to wear them even if they made her even taller than the ML.
The plot was so unique with complex characters. I would've loved to see this have a full-length adaption where they showed their friendship more and developed the complexes more. The casting was perfect with the leads fitting their characters really well. The actor for the ML definitely had some pretty stiff acting, but he fit the character really well.
I loved the ML's unreliability. I guessed quickly that the brother wasn't real, but I assumed he was telling the truth that he could see ghost. Then the twist just goes crazy from there. The ML went from realizing he couldn't see his brothers ghost to recognizing that he needed to face his trauma. He is able to finally recognize that his brother is truly dead and let him go after keeping him company for 10 years. Then he learns that his brother is alive, but is not the same man he knew when he was alive and nothing like the ghost of his brother that he had by his side the 10 years after. He trusts his brother only to be hurt by him as their morals have gone down different paths.
His last time seeing his brother alive is when he beats him and leaves him on the ground. The next time he sees him, he's dead. The ML has to watch a childhood video and see what he lost before his brother leaves him a message saying that he needs to get his body from the same place that they had warm memories.
The poor ML had to pull his body out of the river and carry him on his scooter to leave his body to be found... His dead body behind him on the scooter was the closest he'd been to him in 10 years. His alter brother has happily rode with him, yet his real brother only rode with him once he was dead..
