OK...now I think that the link I found on my own to the second half of the film was the one that YOU had made, but that someone else on Reddit or somewhere had re-posted. :) :P

It's all so confuuuuuuuusing.

Hi again! :) Our answers to each other are overlapping. :D

So, you did the subs I saw from some other version with Chinese subs? Does that mean you were translating from Chinese, not Korean? Wow. Do you know Korean? Is this related to why there are no subs for the phone texts and chats?

Thanks for the clarification on the back room scene.
Your summary is pretty much what I had deduced, even though I remained confused. That confusion stems from the fact that the guy giving the lead the BJ stands up BEFORE the lead says "sorry."

Oh...so it just occurred to me that it must have been the case that even though the schlong-sucker was down there doing his best, the protagonist was not getting hard, is that what you think? So, it would make sense that the dude on his knees would stand up first, and look at him, like wtf?

What threw me off was that after the dude gets down there to start sucking away, the lead throws his lead back with his eyes closed as if enjoying the hell out of it. Thus, I assumed he was already hard, which made it weird that the other guy would stop and stand up first. But if he wasn't responding, what I saw makes sense.

So...hope you don't mind if I bounce a couple of other things off you for clarification: There are the important matters concerning the "love letter(?)" that is mentioned a few times, and some texting/chat/group forum stuff that remained unclear to me all the way to the end. It wasn't until the failed-blowjob guy confessed at the very end to doing/writing something online to mess things up between the lead and the "mother duck," that I got a hint at what went down between the three of them in that regard. Can you shed light on that for me? It seems crucial.

Which leads to a question: First of all, let me again express my massive gratitude to you for doing the subs. You have no idea how much I appreciate it. I love this film, and without your hard work, I wouldn't have been able to watch it at all. That said, I'm wondering why you did not sub the texts and group chats that were shown on the phone...? Is it accurate to say that if I knew what was shown on the screen, I would understand all this a lot better? Again, I am not complaining. :D I am asking, because at those moments, I was like "whaaaaaaaaaaaat the fuck does it say on the phooooooooooone?!!!" hahaha

If you are still on and happen to see this, I would be thankful if you answered the above questions. After getting some clarification from you, I am planning to rewatch the movie after a football game I'm watching. Going into that with your responses on my mind will, I know, make that experience even deeper than it's already going to be. :)

Thank you!

I've been searching for at least three years. :P Thanks for the update on a sequel, though knowing that only makes the search for the original more frustrating.
I found it on dailymotion a few minutes ago, but no subs.

On edit: The info at your link sounds more like a remake than a sequel. Maybe someone will sub the remake!

Oh, thanks. :) No insight on the scene I am confused about?

Thanks!
Actually, someone, somewhere online, had posted the link with the second half and I found it. :)
Did you do the subs? If so, thank you so much. I love this flick.

What is "tgt?"

Define "bad."

The lead actor's name is Cho You-hyun.
A talent to watch.

When the lead and that other, handsome member of the friend group went into the "back room" of the nightclub, what, exactly went down there?

I thought the other guy was going to give our lead a blowjob, and the lead seemed to be enjoying just that, but all of a sudden, our schlong-sucker rose up from his knees, said something to the lead, and the lead turned and left.
What was that about?
There was not nearly enough time for the dude to reach orgasm, but nor did the BJ-giver seem annoyed or frustrated...?
There was no subtitle for the one or two words spoken right before the lead left the room, so that made my confusion worse.

Help please?

Exceptional.
Best gay-themed feature out of Asia in a long time.
This will def end up in my top ten, as soon as I watch it a time or two more to pick up on all the things I'm sure I missed.
That said, while I'm always thankful to anyone who takes the time and trouble to sub a film, the subs I saw for this are hella confusing at times, plus there are times the subs disappear altogether, which is, of course, frustrating.

It was refreshing to see a gay friend group presented as something other than a collection of annoying, predictable gay stereotypes. I'm looking at you, "Love In the Big City."

Second lead Kim Hyun Mok is a gifted talent to watch. His characterization is rich and full. He drove the film nearly as much as did the lead, who is not listed above, but who I'm going to try to hunt down and add to this page. He too is excellent, plus being extremely attractive in a unique way and having a rocking bod.

Great acting, direction, production values, cinematography; now if I can get clear on some plot elements... :D

I did not get the ending I was aching for, but that's OK. A lifetime of Hollywood flicks tied up with a perfect bow at the end are the source of that ache, but seven years of Asian films, especially Korean, have taught me that not getting what I want can deepen the viewing experience. Even as I pined for the ending I wanted, I somehow masochistically liked that I didn't get it. :P

Highly recommended
9/10

Big question: I am confused as to what exactly happened in a crucial scene at the halfway point of the film. If someone could help me out, please read the spoiler below. I would be most grateful for some help on this. :)

What is "BE?"

wth? Subs just stopped at about 1:00:00, and no more after that...?
Majorly frustrating. I was really enjoying the film, too.
I'm not one to watch without subs, so I will have to wait for another version somewhere.
Please let me know if you learn of one.
Thanks.

Next time, just put the link behind a spoiler button and there will be no problem. :D
Thanks for sharing, btw. I was hoping to find this somewhere.

I don't have any "favs" in this show.
Consider raising your standards.

Big credit for the idea.
Execution is rough, due to low budget and inexperienced actors.
I blame the director, not the actors, who clearly were committed and willing to do whatever.

Big credit for keeping the message simple and direct, and not letting us off easy with some contrived, bullshit happy ending.

7/10

Why does that stupid TikTok award thing require changing the cast of this show?

bravo!

Oh lord...

"Potentially fascinating tale, boringly told..."

I got so sick of that mother that I felt zero sympathy for her.
I have felt more so for serial killers in Korean thrillers than for this pos person with no redeeming qualities.
Worst of all, as I mentioned above, this got b-o-r-i-n-g.
