What a moment!
Now THIS is what I want to see come out of Asia more frequently, as a Westerner (New Zealand/Australia) it is so refreshing to see an LGBTQI+ film so well done outside of Europe or the trashy crap that comes from the U.S..
And an LGBTQI+ film this certainly is because the normal BL series/film doesn't even come close!
I loved that the focus wasn't on sex or the characters being conventionally "hot" (even though they are very handsome). Gay culture revolves far too much around that rubbish. Even the one sex scene it did have was done so well you felt conflict between what felt wrong yet so right in their minds, instead of it just being steamy sex for the sake of it. They had great chemistry throughout.
Probably alot more I could say but I'm not a film critic, my heart broke for both of them and in the end to me it was a bitter sweet ending.
There's not a lot of gay films I would watch again but this is certainly added to the list.
