I watched a fmv, and the story looked so mysterious to me, so I decided to watch it. I didn't have many expectations. Before I started watching, I prepared for a typical BL series. But it wasn't at all.
I was very confused when the story started with a girl, named Love, while I was expecting a boy (because of the fmv I watched). The series went on and it was clear that none of it would be predictable.
All characters were introduced and I fell in love with all of them. They absolutely chose the right actors. First I didn't like P'Vier (Paris) and Sean (Captain), but at the end I could empathize with them and with the others.
About the story: I have no words for it. But I try to explain it as right as possible.
I've never thought a story with a unicorn could be so realistic and compelling. The love between Love and Tangmo wasn't forced at all. The love triangle was put nicely together. The sudden personages that popped up didn't bother me at all.
About the last episode: I kind of thought it would be predictable, like the most series and films. But I call the last episode the best episode. What they had to do in the final contest was shocking. The scenery was on point. The very end was both expected and unexpected. You can only agree with me if you watched it.
Honorable mentions: I think JJ deserves an Oscar for his role as Love. How hard mustn't it have been for him to play a girl trying to act as a boy while he's a boy himself?
Put it on your ToWatch-list and you won't regret it.

I watched this film two years ago and I still could remember a lot of it, because the story was so captivating. Yesterday I rewatched it and the film now has even more value. I understood better what was going on. Partly because my English improved since back then, but mostly because I finally know how to watch and interpret films. It's as if you have to reach a certain age to absorb it.
I can't say too much about the plot. I try to be as clear as possible.
'Method' was captivating, because the gap between reality and acting (in the film itself) was almost nowhere to be seen. Jae-Ha and Young-Woo acted as if they were Walter and Singer, and sometimes they acted as if they were Walter and Singer looking for Jae-Ha and Young-Woo. It's admirable how an actor can act that he's acting. That's the best thing about the entire film. They change their mindset all the time, but it never gets confusing.
There are also some things that need attention, like the book that Jae-Ha keeps with him all day. The director of the play tells Young-Woo that he always write things in it when he is preparing for a play, but later you can see that there isn't anything in it. The wife of Jae-Ha knows it's a warning for Jae-Ha's behaviour.
Now I watched it again, I don't want to watch another movie, because now I want to maintain my feeling about it.
I found out that the director of this film is a Bang Eun-Jin, and I can't wait to see more of her works. This film needs an Oscar for sure.
