So I guess when Koki turned and looked at us at the end, it was because he forgot to put his van in park and it rolled over him, which then leads to the final scene?
Total cop-out. Are we sure this wasn't written and produced in China? I ask because the GAY was certainly banned from the screenplay of this series.
On the other hand, we knew from the start how this would end. I just thought it would be a BL before it got there. Which it's not. I made the mistake of assuming a show starring an actor as talented and established as Uesugi Shuhei, would have the balls to go heavy and deep with the gay. NOT.
There were a good number of heartwarming scenes and a few laughs, but due to the cop-out ending, Koki being older than his mom, and the lame way the angel's wings disappeared when he put on a hoodie, 7/10 is as high as I go with this one.
But you knew this going in tho. So why disrespect them now?
Are you talking to me?
How was I to know it was embarrassing gay-bait without watching at least part of one episode? Why would you assume I "knew going in" that it stars low-tier idols from some K-Pop group I never heard of? I don't research most BLs, I just, you know, start watching. Why disrespect them them now? Because I watched and it sucks. What would be a better time to disrespect them? Before I watch?
I do not get the hype about OhmNanon... I still never completed the show either.
I consider this one of the worst BLs of all time. Fluff, rainbows, unicorns shitting ice cream cones, bad acting, terrible writing, lame direction and more, wrapped up in a glittery, pink sequin bow for the Little Girls of MDL to slobber over. I come here once a year or so to read comments and sort of freak out at how many standard-free people there are on MDL.
Kang Dong is a gifted actor. This is a quietly wrenching film that snuck up on me.
Murder is never OK, even if it's a government that's doing the killing. I think of all the good a rehabilitated, truly repentant, smart, personable, and loving prisoner like Yoon Soo could have brought to the world had he been allowed to do so. But the death penalty is never OK. It turns us, the people, into murderers too.
So Ji Sub has it all: presence/charisma/star-quality/good looks/acting talent, but what he lacks in this movie is a good script. It became tedious about halfway through. I can watch an actor, even So Ji Sub, light cigarettes and act cool only so many times in one movie before it gets boring.
The weirdest part is the on-set rape that no one seems to think is any big deal. Made no sense at all.
How does Ohm keep getting lead roles? He is a terribly amateur, boring af actor with zero range. He always looks pissed off and drugged. Wonder if he has a BF among the Channel 8 suits.
Because 99.9% of the time a rotting corpse would have more energy, emotion, etc. on camera than Ohm does, either…
The commenter above probably works for Ohm's agency, and it's their job to run around the Internet telling people who notice what a bad actor he is to STFU.

You are ridiculous. BL watchers like you are the reason Thailand puts out so many terrible, lazy BLs. The producers know people like you will watch absolutely anything put in front of them, no matter how lame, and be grateful for it.
And THEN go in comment sections and tell people who dare to criticize what needs criticizing to STFU.
Please keep your STFU comments to yourself next time.
I agree with a lot of what FrothyMix wrote below, but my rating is 7/10.
This film had a great many moments/scenes that were engaging and powerful, but as a whole, it felt meandering to me. No through-line to follow. Every main character became unlikable to me so I didn't much care what happened to them.
I just rewatched this film after years but care to explain where did they try to normalize r@pe or domestic abuse?…
What you saw in the movie is what happened IN the movie, not in real life. The people who did nothing in reaction to bad actions did so within the context of the movie, not in real life. You've seen this movie. Do you now feel like going out and raping anyone because it seems "normal?" No, you don't. Do you think you're smarter or more perceptive than other people who saw this film and who are now running around raping people? I hope you don't think that because they're not.
The fact that you left your comment proves the point: You don't feel rape is normal, do you?
Someone said it was just a crew member or random person so that they didn't have to pay an another actor by showing…
lol I bet that's true, judging from the lack of extras to make the exterior scenes look like an actual, real college. Did you notice how deserted the campus always looked?
the episodes could have been longer, but was really good nonetheless, I just wish they had a longer kissing scene…
Typical of Korean BLs starring an "idol." The guy playing Dong Wook is a low-level K-Popper, which means this is his management company riding the BL wave with a gay-bait, mostly tease version of a BL. That said, there WAS actual lip movement after the initial fish-kiss in both instances. But that stupid thing where we get three or four, repetitive shots of two actor's faces moving together from different angles, accompanied by that weird, "whooshing" sound, is a way of making a short, fairly passionless smooch look like more than it is.

Let me know if you have any more questions.
The usual cardboard-cutout BL characters.
This even managed to make cross-dressing boring.
Dropped
