Single mom Claire and her son Pol have a very good relationship despite not having a father figure. But this is tested when Claire falls in love with Migoy, her son’s best friend. The feeling is mutual so the two decided to hide their relationship not just from the judgmental people, but even from Pol. This further complicates when it is revealed that Pol is also secretly in love with Migoy. (Source: SM Cinema) Edit Translation

Sensitive and gentle

The film is successful and very different. And you really need to keep an open mind and not jump to conclusions right away. All three characters were engraved in my soul, and not only because of the way the actors portrayed them, but also thanks to the fate of Pol, I raised the original rating of the story from 8 to 9.
The music was sensitively chosen and perfectly suited to the style and character of the project, the processing was very fine and its highlight was the scene of Pol and Migs making love. Beautiful experience.

The only "BL" series where I have cried all the way through the BL NC scene!

There is a BL element to this--a very important one--but there is also a hetero romance.

This is an affecting and heart-warming story. It's not for everyone due to the May-December aspect. But the emotions are so well-portrayed and the story is so well-written. It's a tear-jerker for sure. And I don't cry during most films/series that other people say affected them.

I loved all three characters. We could perhaps have done with a little more clarification about why May fell for December (other than sex)... had she not dated for years, and if not, why not? It's hard to imagine a much younger man providing enough interest for her--other than love and sex. I'm not at all saying it's not possible, just that we needed to see a bit more of her to understand why she fell so hard. I would have rated it 9+ if that had been included, even briefly.

May's wish for her son's desire to be fulfilled before he died was so moving. It was a brilliant lead-up and climax to the story. And this is where I couldn't stop crying, with sadness and joy.
I'm so glad I watched this even though it stills makes me sad when I think about it.
