It's much better than I thought, honestly...

At first, I only watched this because of Junho, and hearing that he has a double role intrigues me because i haven't watched a lot of medias where the actor plays double roles (and more Junho!!) But other than that, I know nothing about the other actors and all and thought that it would be like a love triangle between two Junhos and the girl. The typical story line but you don't know which Junho is gonna end up with the girl. But it's not and even turned out to be much deeper than I thought, and the message hitting close to home made me like it a lot, and I'm sure there are many more people that will also relate to this. It makes me like and appreciate the story a lot more.

In their own different ways, I can relate to both Nero and Daewon. As someone who loves art and thinking to turn that love into a career, now currently studying design, I can relate to Nero. I can tell Nero genuinely loves art and wants to paint whatever he wants and likes, but as he studied he learns that he can't just paint what he wants and has to follow the teacher, the curriculum. Honestly watching that as I go through it myself hurts and it feels sadder, it feels like I was looking at myself. While Daewon is different from Nero, I relate to him a lot too. At first he seemed like a happy go lucky guy who doesn't have anyone or anything that can tie him down. But, when he felt happy because he was for once useful, and someone needs him for something, my heart hurts. Both Nero and Daewon just feels like two peas in a pod (the pod being me)

well wow this review is so personal... But yeah... I also really like Junho's song for this movie titled "Nothing But You". It's a really cute, nice, soft song, pretty sure at one time I had that song on repeat because it was so good.
