I am trying to identify what it is, that makes me so disconnected with this drama. Like its visually stunning…
Totally agree. There is nothing attractive about the diminutive, elf-like Jira, who wears culottes, and is surly and pouty in his best moments, weepy and self-pitying in his worst.
why recently there is so many comments about lily Alice
Well, I would be enraged by that, except that it is exactly something that MDL and Lily Malice would do.
If Lily is an actual person, I bet her own personal life is a wreck/scandal/controversy for the ages. She's likely an unattractive, pregnant, alcoholic, crack/Propofol/heroin-addicted prostitute with three starving kids born out of wedlock, who picks up tricks on the side from Seungri (I love him though :)), and shoplifts a lot.
Maybe one day she'll quit MDL after posting one last massive "controversy!!!" "scandal!!!" article about herself.
Wow, what a bunch of delusional psychos, especially whoever wrote this mess.
For about half the film, I was actually getting into the messiness of it all, but then things became absurd, and the vibe I got was that I was supposed to believe that these choices were organic to these characters. No.
I saw the word "controversy" in the title of this article and immediately knew Lily Malice would be the author. And here she is, trying to stir up some shit again.
Wow, Sim Hyun Seo is an exceptional actor. Hyun Woo Seok, too.
The subs I watched this with were only about 10% coherent, so I have only a general sense of what went down, but it was damn well done. So much of what I saw here is exactly why kids, including me, stay in the closet for so long, if we ever gather the courage to emerge at all.
I'm giving this a 9/10 for now. Looking forward to seeing it again with good subs, at which time I do not doubt that rating will jump a bit.
At the end….he lies about the poison… during the dinner…the wine

Goodness, this was a surprise. I stumbled across this at 3am and here I am after 4, having binged the whole thing. :)
First things first: Phenomenal acting from both leads, far above and beyond 95% of BL acting. Restrained and realistic. Kudos to both actors and to the director.
As a lover of angst, pain, and suffering in my stories, I enjoyed where the story tried to take us, but a lot of Yeuwen's behavior after you-know-who showed up was sloppily written and incoherent. Again, I liked the darkness, but the way it was handled left me unconvinced.
Awesome ending.
I will def check out more offerings from this studio. Recommended 8.5/10
It strikes me as extremely reductive to label Yuewen a "villain," which is an easy, black/white way of looking at a complicated person having a complicated reaction to an unexpected situation; first his first gay experience and then the fiance showing up.
Much of Yuewen's behavior after the fiance showed up was sloppily written and clunky to the point of not making sense, but I liked the intent of the storytellers.

Good acting, but terribly stupid plot.

Sim Hyun Seo is not only a phenomenal young dancer; he's also grown into a remarkably talented actor. Check out "404 Still Remain, Our 5 Minutes"

He's all grown up! :)

Thanks for the joy. :)

If you like things realistic to dark af, dive in.
This is far from perfect, but the acting's top-notch and I loved the messiness.
Hitv wanted me to download shit to get episode 7. Forget that.
