The WTF value

DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED THE MOVIE YET. I'M WARNING YOU NOW BECAUSE IT CONTAINS A BIT TOO MANY SPOILERS.









Before I get into the actual review of the film, I'd just like to say this really quickly; I must be a really messed up person to enjoy this movie as much as I did... This was a 10/10 for me. I'd also like to point this out: I didn't read the manga because the film is the way I found out about the story. Forgive me for getting loads of stuff wrong, please.

The plot of the movie was a whole lot of wtfuckery that I can't truly summarize into a few words, so with that said, here we go:
The start of the movie made me so goddamn confused at first because of the whole Makoto being tied up already on the bed when Ryoji walks in as if seeing the guy tied to the bed as a normal situation. Yes, he is the one who had captured and tied him up but the fact that he doesn't show any amount of an expression upon seeing Makoto awake and being scared out his wits has me questioning things. 8/10

One thing is for sure, I did in fact enjoy the film. Not only for the story line, the music or just the actual thing as a whole, but over all, I enjoyed it a bit too much, I'd say.

The actors were a bit iffy at times but I can approve of their acting skills. They're talented in conveying what is going on just through their actions alone. I'd even go as far as saying that I liked Watanabe Sho's acting over Kitadai Takashi's more. 7.5/10

The music as far as I could tell was enjoyable. A bit of mystery filled tunes but also an eerie type of feel to it, too. Haunting and enjoyable, at the same time. 10/10 for me.

Would I re-watch it? Maybe once just to see if I can clearly see what it's truly about even though it is already laid out in full. A man, who has lost his parents to an accident, feels like he doesn't have the will to live, tries to commit suicide only for another man to save him just before he even gets the chance to. Being kidnapped basically instantly afterward, used as a sex slave(as a way to make him feel alive? WTF) and then being released as if it didn't happen; only to then have sex at the end of the film again after the man who kidnapped him tried to kill himself, too. HUH. Instant mindfuck. 5.0/10

Total waste of time

I just finished after binge watching it and I have to say that I have a love-hate relationship with the entire thing.

Love:
On the other hand, the music, the setting, and the good looking guys are the only things that kept my attention all through the entire show. The only things that saved it, in my honest opinion.

Hate:
Stereotypical new guy joins a place where two guys like him; one of the guys get the new guy and the other is a jealous asshole who deems it his right to claim the new guy as his own without doing anything about it. NO telling the new guy about his feelings toward him, no ASKING him out on dates, etc. It shouldn't have had a love triangle at all, if that's how things went down! Geez, I had high hopes for this one and yet it disappointed me. Truly wish I didn't watch it; as cruel as that sounds.

And the kisses! Geez, it's like every single K-drama BL has a one peck thing when it comes to kissing. I know that they're uncomfortable with it, but you guys are actors! You should know that acting is just that! ACTING.

I didn't like any of the characters at all, however. The actors themselves were okay but the characters they played; SO bland, SO annoying, just.. ugh. I'm disappointed.

Music was a 9/10, acting 5/10, story 1/10, Rewatch value 1/10

It's truly sad that I had to rate this one as low as I did but here we are.
