Despite all this, the film did have its charm, I guess. That's why it's a 6 and not a 5 or lower.

The music was lovely and fitting, the stories were marged together and every character had their own story so you could feel with them.
The relationships were sad and beautiful, the actions realistic.
Some things could have been clearer, especially the ending. But overall it was perfect for this movie.
There were some things I didn't like, though. Most of all how they portrayed a gay relationship as something horrible, but I guess that is how people would react.
I would have wished for a happier ending, but I really loved it anyway.

If you are looking for BL here.. Please skip this. Its very confusing. It makes you feel weird after watching it wondering what the hell did I just watch?
The acting was good I wont say it wasn't but the way gay is portrayed is an insult.
How do you go from oh this is whats happening to boom that change?
Its a 3 way romance in a sense. The girl loves boyfriend , boy ends up loving a guy and then girl sleeps with gay boyfriends boyfriend. Its the most confusing messed up thing I've watched. I wish I could get back the time I spent watching this.
Please spare yourselves if you can. If you want to watch a train wreck then this is the movie for you.

Had potential to make a statement, but didn't have the guts to do it
The acting and music is great. And it does hit you with a lot of emotions. However, I was unable to sympathize with the FL after the threat she made and carried out. I couldn't see her in a positive light after that and that affected the rest of my experience with the movie constantly trying to get me to like her and feel for her and framing her as a good and sympathetic person. I just couldn't.The actually in love couple (the two ML's) could have ended up easily and happily together if she had just done the right thing. And the ending we did get didn't satisfy or clarify anything. It's clear who Jon Wae was actually in love with. He said and constantly showed who he loved and valued more. See all the dates where he immediately went running to Dong Hwa afterward, etc, etc, etc.
I felt like this movie chickened out of the two ML's being together because of the year this was made in. I have no proof of this, I just suspect it. They couldn't actually have them clarified to be together, just the two of them, in the end because South Korean audiences wouldn't have been able to handle that. So, over half-way through the movie they made it a three-way relationship, but not really. And at the end they suggested that maybe all three were together in the end or just single and friends. This way things can be passed off as Jon Wae still having been in love with Ho Jeong (FL) the entire time and Dong Hwa (ML) was just an "experiment" that he wasn't serious about.
This wasn't like 3 Will Be Free which was a legitimate polyamorous relationship with a Bi ML at the center of it. Nowhere near its level. Not at all.
Basically, the movie should have ended about halfway through.
