Over complicated
*outline*
The only reason I decided to watch this is because the first story (Night Bug) seemed interesting and that someone was going to happen between the boys. In the end, I was quite disappointed with the whole movie.
*analysis*
STORY : The whole thing, Night Bug and One Night, seemed like the director had ideas for like 3 chapters for some book and just attempted to cram both in one whole movie. And failed. The whole thing over all was really confusing. I got what was happening by the end of the story but as soon as it ended I got so confused, thinking "wait... that's it? nothing else?". Then again, it felt like nothing much was happening between the main characters for that story anyways. The second story was way more disappointing than the first. I got the overview of what was happening, and yeah there was an ending to the story (a sad (?) one) but it seemed so bland and it didn't really feel like anything was really happening except for some flirting here and there and some blushing. The only reason I understood the context of both stories is because I read the description.
ACTING/CAST : Okay, although the plot was too complicated in a very short amount of time, I've got to give creds to the actors for their acting. They did brilliantly in acting out their parts and didn't fall out of character. But, of course, because it's a gay movie written in 2014, it was quite amateur in the sense it didn't seem like the love was there in the first story, and the acting felt a little forced for the second.
MUSIC : Was there any?
REWATCH VALUE : I personally wouldn't come back to this story. It probably wouldn't even live in my memories. And I doubt many others would want to come back to the movie either because both parts have no plan, are too complicated to understand, and have sad endings. This is probably one of those BLs that will enter my subconscious, knowing it didn't make me feel anything.
*recommendations*
I wouldn't really recommend this to anyone, especially not to someone who's just entering the BL field of dramas and movies.
I don't have any recommendations to give either, because I can't think of a movie that is in any way similar to this one.
However, if you want something of a lighter mood to make you feel better after this movie, watch either 'To My Star' or 'Color Rush'. Both of those movies did exceptionally well.
