Very beautiful!

What a heavy topic... but it's a very beautiful movie :)
It had melo vibes and a very great message. I have lots of thoughts about it and it also made me do some research.
What I liked the most were the characters and the story. The only thing I didn't like was that it was too short.

● I have a kinda splitted opinion on the HIV topic. It surely hits very hard getting this diagnosis. But I also think it's sometimes a case if irresponsibility. Just because you know someone really well doesn't mean you can assume he is clean and healthy. Thats got nothing to do with each other. And especially not with trust. !Please guys, always use protection! On the other hand I feel really bad for them... so... I'm not sure how I feel about this topic.

● The characters:
The MOM, OMG Jun's mom! I loved her and I wanna give her a hug. She was not like most parents in BLs at all. She clearly didn't like her son being gay... but she didn't say anything and just let him be. And this was also kinda sad. Jun is more the rebellious and impulsive character so he did his own thing and they didn't really communicate. And this of course makes it hard for the mom to understand. Her social environment wasn't the best either. Her friend still thought there is a cure for homosexuality. As we saw, this is all a matter of education and understanding. But looking at Jun's character, he probably didn't take the time to slowly talk with his mom. How can she understand then? So they were just living past each other, both not being happy.

And Michael was the opposite of Jun. Very kind and understanding. He took the time to actually talk to Jun's mom and treat her as family... this was so heartwarming! *sobs*. And this was what changed her... what she said in the last scene to Michael.. really brought me to tears. <3

And since Jun and Micheal are so different from each other - they match really well together. Giving each other what the other is lacking. :)

●The only thing I didn't like was that the movie was too short. It started more in the middle of Jun and Micheals relationship so I didn't really feel the depth of their relationship... like.. how serious, how far they are. I'd also love to see the whole story of them, how they met, etc. And also I would have loved to at least see some flashbacks of Jun's childhood with his parents. There seemed to be going on a lot. And in this movie the relationship between mother and son would be extremely interesting. So it's sad they didn't show any of that.

● The ending:
Very happy ending :)...under the circumstances that is. Showed a lot of tolerance and development.

And because I'm also just a simple girl: daaaang, Jun is so hot xD

● All in all it was a very beautiful and touching movie! Wouldn't have minded it if the movie was a few hours longer.^^ I'd definitely recommend.
