perfectly imperfect

know there r others that will disagree, but this movie exceeded my expectation's - first off reading the description was sure Toey was gay (cause this is a BL) and he had broken up with his gay-lover and was journeying to mend his broken heart, and meets Oat "...who is on his bachelor finale trip.." and presto he falls in-love as u do. boy was i wrong -

before anything have to say Toey's ex was brutal - like i get her breaking-up with him, but the sh*t that came out of her mouth - u don't demolish a persons soul just cause u want out of a relationship - and considering she already had a new guy. she could've just owned up to that and not annihilated his self-esteem on her way out. really there was no reason for it - other then to just be a mega-b*tch.

Oat - from the sec he set eyes on Toey, he was "hooked" - maybe it was his last chance to "sow his wild oats" or maybe he was just attracted to Toey, u could see it with his stealing glances - so his actually being gay isn't a shocker. if anything it's sad that in-spite of being gay he got into a relationship with a girl and has fathered a child, that he really doesn't want - neither the kid nor the wife. what a "happy family"?!?
but considering his father being a military man, him being intolerant towards anything that isn't "normal" is implied, so maybe it's not astonishing that Oat got himself a "beard" - and yet it's sad for everyone involved -

even though the story was pretty clam, it was turbulent cause of all the emotional turmoil going on in each character, and the conversations with Yumi were so needed - she is the clam in a tempestuous sea... everyone really did a great job - loved Toey the most - he brought his A game, the confusions, hurt, anger - let alone his starting to open up and even fall for Oat - he was so great - like an open book that was easy and very enjoyable to read - hard not to like and root for a character like this. donno what awaits in the sequel just hope Toey gets a happy ending - even though i enjoyed how this ended - and even if i didn't know that there is a sequel - i would've enjoyed how this ended, cause it was logical. its left open - does Toey delete Oat's friend request, breaking all contact with him or does he chance it and accept him and everything that may come by choosing that path?!? (well don't have to guess, like u usually do - as just need to check out the sequel).
