the sister was a jackass, yeah loads of people r infatuated with their bosses / coworkers / teacher etc and someone follow through and send sms's or try to chat-them-up. but building some fantasy relationship in ur mind and then cause - imagination doesn't turn into reality u try to kill ur self - when the one ur infatuated with doesn't even know u exist?!? like WTF. how chemically imbalanced is this b*tch???? and if she is so messed up, why she roaming around and not locked up in a padded room??? especially after trying to self-harm, she needs observation, medication and professional help. don't get this.

then there's the sister who goes to get "justice" for her nut of a sister. when she is confronted with his proposition, she as a lawyer can't come up with the main reason dating/starting a relationship with him would be a huge mistake not only a bad idea?!? i.e. her freaking nutter of a sister, that brought them together in the first place?!???

the way this starts already predicts how its gonna end, all the crying and going on, on Yi-fei's characters part is idiotic. story was trying hard to sell a grand romantic saga. didn't buy why after he asked her on the beach - if he could buy her, and then her finding out he frequented the coffee shop awaiting her every morning, was what flips her switch. hard sell for me.

Seung-Heon is as gorgeous as usual, so if ur only looking for eye-candy, both leads look gr8, but story wise - meh...

this is the 1st time i watched a K-Movie, that was basically the drama that i watched a week back. and Only cause in the last ep of the drama, a commenter mentioned that Maybe in the movie we would get "more" plot wise - that would satisfy 'us' more then in the drama - and as i was majorly disappointed with the ending i got in the drama - thought WTH when saw this uploaded...

have to say, nothing new here - this is the 8 min's of "meat" without the starting and ending credits - stuck together, nothing more nothing less - and for sure nothing new... ah yeah - there is one hell of a french-kiss between Ki Jin and Young Woo (initiated by Young Woo) after the yr long disappearing act Ki Jin pulled (still call b.s on how that whole situation was handled. cause no one disappearing on my ass and then i take them back like nothing happened - there would be hell to pay). so i didn't 'get' it watching the drama, and i don't get it here - yeah one could say "love makes u stupid" but still calling b.s. - there aint no "...apologizing once is enough..." plz

the only reason i aint miffed that i rewatched this, was cause of Yi Bin - or rather scenes between him and Young Woo. cause the translation in the movie differs from what 'we' got in the drama, and here it makes sense, as opposed to the drama where it left me confused. not that i got a clear picture about the past between the 2 - and yet think they should've ended up together - it would've been a better ending IMHO, but it is what it is.

not me ugly crying. OMG - half way through & it's goes from sad to sadder in a loop & as sad / heartbreaking / heart-rending as this is, it is also Beautiful(!) & i aint talking about the leads (who r really good looking) or the acting, which is stellar on all accounts. the story is just wow. the way this plot unfolds, touches ur soul. even if u haven't experienced loss or love, u know what it means in both cases, watching this movie.

both leads (recognized for other movies & drama's, so) i knew they can act - they had banging chemistry & the plot just takes this to the next level. i am jaded, so my mind went to different places when taking into account their age difference; one being jaded not believing in love. while the other being an innocent all pure & trusting, read to fall at a drop... but this has layers & every scene we see more about both leads, seeing that the jaded one might be more trusting & innocent, while the younger more innocent one is really jaded. so however i thought this gonna unfold, as the plot progressed, so did my conclusions change about where this will go. but from the get go, had a bad feeling one will die, and yet that wasn't the end of the others suffering.

find the title of this movie ironic, as neither leads (or any of the character's for that matter) can be characterized as egotistical. yeah when Kosuke got his mask on, he is the epitome of an Egoist - but that is nothing more then a mask, that hides a pure heart that has suffered so much pain OMG but my heart broke for this dude by the end - really beautifully poignant

the title can mean 'never forever apart' or 'never forever together' - confusing but very Korean, as we got an open ending. i enjoyed this movie - read a lot of mixed comments and considering the topic (that's a bit sensitive - to put it mildly) i get why. but all in all i enjoyed this very much - more than i thought i would...

first off Vera Farmiga is a great actress, so didn't expect anything less then what i got from her - seen David McInnis in a load of Kmovies and dramas, never found his acting lacking, but here it was a bit off, maybe cause his strong points r action(?) not emotion. or maybe his character was a bit lacking in general - bottom line we need his character's POV.

we start off with Andrew's fathers funeral and his 'attack' on his wife (heard that there r people who get horny at funerals, its a need to affirm they r alive or something along those lines). as i have never felt this way (only depressed and sad) will go by what i've heard. and from there to him standing on the roof and looking below, was scene after scene of his silent personal "drama" - which considering the only thing i had to go by, was the description - i guess his reason was his low sperm count. he never verbalizes much.

Sophie on the other hand gives u tons to "work with", u know what she is feeling not only with words - the desperation that makes her do something unthinkable. her humbling herself, when surrounded by his mother and those weird cult like believers, preaching at her (her need to pray in order to conceive, cause she is obviously the one at fault) her taking it quietly - cause of her love for her husband. his suicide attempt, fueling her hopelessness and despair, swallowing her pride into approaching Ji Ha - with a bold unthinkable "job offer"... let alone going through with it - u see that its abhorrent to her, and when u get that she did conceive in the past and aborted the baby, without Andrew's knowledge - how guilt is also playing a huge hand in her desperation to convince, this time and make amends to her "suffering" husband, that she feels she wronged cause of aborting a baby when they weren't even married or committed in anyway.

Ji Ha has his own problems like any illegal immigrant, he is working around the clock to make ends meat and find a way to become legal, plus bring over his gf. he is basically living in isolation. so what starts off as "look at the money" and just do it.. turns into jealousy when he finds out that Sophie's husband is also Korean, plus them being well off and happy - him seeing everything he wants, already in the hands of another - like him is what makes him belligerent - but that blow-up also brings them closer - ironically.. what at the start was mechanical, after the fight turn's emotional - they connect, treat each other like humans.
as will happen when two desperate people find each other, they cling... is this love? hope? guess with the ending we get, it is... at least that's what i chose to believe - she needed to forgive herself and let go of a man that was depressed, and a baby was just a band-aid (she finds that out when Andrew finds out that it aint his baby). and no person tries to kill themselves just cause they can't conceive - there is much more that's going on - that's why i keep saying - Andrew's character is lacking...

the open ending according to a lot is her answering Ji Ha's call and them both moving to Korea, considering the beach - but then i ask, why the kid talking English?!? her being pregnant indicates Ji Ha is the father, not cause of the beach but cause of the choice of wool she is knitting with - the red was the shirt he wore in her "day dream" (when she was having a party and missing/fantasizing about the man she "missed"). personally i think as she left Andrew and comes from money, she had the ability to keep Ji Ha from being deported, plus he Is the father of her baby. (lets not forget Ji Ha said he never felt connect to Korea) that's why i think they still in the US. but the important bit is that everyone agrees that they remind together - so happy ending - so enjoyed this, for sure a rewatch and would happily recommend.

happy ending and yet i aint a happy-camper. first off will admit, i clicked cause of Yoo Teo, dude smokin hot and he for sure didn't disappoint - what with the visual eye-candy, let alone the sizzling scenes. but other then that, this was totally depressing as All the character's (the mains in particular) r damaged people, walking around with open wounds. so little wonder the vibe in this movie is pretty somber and sad.

Seo Young is this weird off beat character that is in a world of her own, even though she may suffer from vertigo, that aint the only thing she suffers from. there were moments that she just zoned out and it seemed like she was having flash-backs (i.e PTSD) and considering her biological father abused her (not astonished). also seeing her mother in "action", little wonder she got into a destructive relationship with Jin Soo (who was basically using her). on her part it didn't just seem like she was "in love" it was like he was her world, he was the center of her universe and the sec she understood that she was nothing special to him, that kinda broke her.
the fact that she didn't have a safe-haven or a place to turn too, just more burden in the form of her mother. (who OMO what a piece of work. it was like the world owed her something and other then b😡tch and moan - calling just to guilt trip her daughter and of course leech off her - she offered nothing, until the last sec).
so little wonder her daughter was spiraling downwards, cause what good did she have in her life? even the delusion of love burst in her face - so what was left?

Jin Soo was an interesting character, when u see him u think typical boss that abuses his power and good-looks, to get everything in a skirt (that's to his taste) under him. and as Seo Young is a contract worker that's even more of a safe bet, cause he can get rid of her when she gets tiresome. but the more u see, u get he might be bi and then u understand that he didn't divorce his wife cause he bi, but cause he's gay. and i'm sure of this fact cause of the scene where Seo Young and Ye Dam witness him having an argument with another male - and the other guy calls him a coward. if he bi, that wouldn't happen - it's cause he can't commit and "come out". also after him noticing that Seo Young witnessed the whole scene, he started ghosting her. it was cause he was worried she knew and could confront him about the truth. think the only reason he was with Seo Young was to prove to himself that he "normal" and that's kinda sad -

the romance with Gwan Woo was almost nonexistent or one sided, until the last few secs. he had his own burden with his (not all there) father to support and dead sister (which took a sec to figure out that she was dead (let alone she was the chick who's channel he kept watching), that he was still grieving over - and maybe seeing Seo Young, he recognized another suffering soul. was that love? dependency? idk cause i feel this needed more or just to be cleaned up (plot wise) so it was clearer. like how did the sister die - cause of how he reacted to seeing Seo Young post assault by her boss - it was like he saw someone else in her stead - maybe his sister ?!?(who died while being raped?!?) cause with a cooler and logical mind, he should've radioed his boss to call the cops or security and then climbed back up. but he lost it - makes one wonder...

all in all i didn't get the slap or the impromptu bungee jump (like talk dick move - why give a person who is good to u a heart attack?! if that was me i would pull her up, just to punch her in the face), same with the kiss - like why?!? just for the visual - oh plz, (titanic that was not - more moronic) this wont be a rewatch

i'm the odd one out ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

maybe i'm the only jaded one here, but this wasn't all that.... not talking about the acting - it was good. the story was meh.... so a player wants and has a one night stand, then decided he wants more... this a grand love story?!?? ok....

from the start he is like a bee hopping from flower to flower, does not mean - a bad guy - he is looking to enjoy the moment, and as everyone involved is an adult - this is legitimate. even with her he was straight up, no playing around the bush. she changed her mind not cause she fell in-love, but because she was unhappy in her current relationship.

her talking to her friends was a front, anyone with eyes could see that. why she have to apologize?? she didnt know he was eavesdropping. he on the other hand was very chuffed, when she said the sex was good, but when she said she wouldn't contact him cause it wasn't memorable, and it was just a one night stand, he got butthurt - why? his fragile ego got hurt?? she was kind stating a fact. no?!? when he says it - all's good?? but when it is thrown back in his face - not so nice to hear = be on the receiving end. makes u wonder how all his other female partners felt, when they wanted more - nope????
but cause he got hurt, he waited for her, and asked her to be his f*ck-buddy, i.e. purposely insulted her, which pissed her off. logically she told him off - she have to apologize, why? cause he left her a note?!? and who's to say that they r gonna have a happily ever after? maybe as he isn't into relationships they may last a week, a month or a year...

so the note and the end, were mehhh... writers "tying a pretty bow on it" so it can be sold as a romance. in "drama land" everything goes, and loads of viewers (going by the comments here) r gobbling it up, so whatever...

first off as someone who has watched the drama - u Don't need to watch that in-order to "get" this, u can treat it as a stand alone, and any info taken from the drama is more or less explained. the movie was fun and great as a one off, but i can't agree with the hype - it's anticlimactic -

So Jin was turned into a minor character, and Jin Hee was the MC here - which is mindboggling as she didn't carry shit in the drama - but that's the problem with viewing the drama - i am among the few that wasn't blown-away by it, it had its good points but Jin Hee was not one of them. so if i had known this whole movie was gonna revolve around Jin Hee - think i might have passed...

the only scene that was freakin cool was the taxi scene in the tunnel - that took me back to Train to Busan, the dead having one objective and that's getting their target - so loved how that whole scene played out, that was cool - but everything else was meeh, load of clichés... sad considering the "evil" shaman was justified in bringing down the wrath of god on the asses of those money hungry pharmaceutical company executives - so So Jin's intervention was unwarranted (IMHO) and yeah i get its so the innocents (cops) that got hurt and were suffering's would recuperate. but it felt counterproductive - idk

again - a fun one off. and got to see So Jin smile at Seong Jun, took her a whole drama and a movie to be able too lol, heck of an achievement considering he a really good person - totally selfless and giving. but So Jin had her own baggage in the drama so it was understandable - but that's another story...

wished for a "happy ending" - jokes on me. if Close-Knit left me sad idk what i feel now, just know i'ma carry this depressed feeling for a while. this aint for the faint hearted. this was a rude awakening, considering i was looking forward to something along the lines of Close-Knit - which in comparison is light and has more positive heartwarming scenes - this is gritty, dark and raw from start to finish (which ironically is positive - kinda). even if there were light spots, they were overshadow by the melancholy character's.

must admit didn't like Nagisa at first, got that she was suffering too much, to notice the other's pain, let alone help. that's why their first meeting wasn't heartwarming. and even made me hate Nagisa, cause Ichika was a blameless, defenseless victim that wasn't any better off then Nagisa - she for sure didn't deserved the treatment she got from her. so thinking that she would find a safe-haven with him/her and seeing how abrasive Nagisa was towards an abused child was angering. even their getting closer wasn't a slow burn, it was stagnant - the breaking point where Nagisa "got" that Ichika was a kindred soul, suffering as she was, was after the whole "private room" incident - outing the fact Ichika was doing it so she could afford the dance lessons. Nagisa seeing her break-down and self-hurting, bringing home that just cause she looks fine doesn't mean that she is. that broke down the wall Nagisa built around her heart.

the rest sadly goes from bad to worse - cause Nagisa thinks she needs to change (physically) in order to be a worth parent - while Ichika doesn't care - she just needs to be loved and cared for. if this point would've been driven home, maybe Nagisa wouldn't have done what she did - letting things spiral downwards to that sad freakin end.

wont say this was perfect as there were bits that i didn't get cause Ichika's character relied a lot on facial expression's - well not even that, so guessing when there was no dialogue or even facial expression's from her - ur left wondering what does it really mean. and not even go to mention Rin, another poor soul aish this movie did my heart in 😶 great acting and story but aish a one off

WTAF (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

this is the type of movie where after watching - i wanna hurt everyone involved in making it - like WTAF!!! i was so delighted when i noticed "baby" Saitoh Takumi at first as Noeru, but pretty fast this train goes wayyy of the tracks - dives straight into whacko territory...
like Noeru been a promiscuous teen - in the description its watered down "...Noeru decides to hit on Taishin..." hit my ass, he just assaults him, and gives him a BJ in the restroom - like hello?!? and here Taishin keeps telling Noeru he too young to drink - ugh what a joke. plus this made in 2006 not 1996 where Aids was a "new" disease and people thought it was made-up propaganda. so seeing Noeru getting "used" by any tom, dick and harry was nauseating to say the least, and his supposed reason was anticlimactic - and i guess everyone can react differently to any given situation, and he an extreme personality, so he went over-board. but where the parents at?

even Taishin that was kinda normal, was off - like when Chidori the psycho just rushed into his flat looking for Noeru - that wasn't a sane moment - and Taishin as an adult should've known something was very off with this kid. being that obsessive about his friend after telling Taishin that he loved Noeru . anyone else would've seeked out Noeru to touch base and make sure he was ok, let alone inform him that his bff was nuts. Taishin just ignored the whole situation as if nothing happened and only when he saw the add (in the papers) about Noeru being brutally attacked, did he go look for him - like WTF was wrong with these people - its like warning signals r going off and they deaf, dumb and blind...

so everything that happens after isn't shocking, but u start with Taishin and Noeru on the train, blood smudged fingers intertwined and after everything that happens, my head went every which way, as to what could've happened but the reality of Taishin taking Noeru's dead body to the sea, cause that was his wish with his childhood bud Ken - so Taishin could then walk into the sea together and i'm like f*ck u very much - but this a crap ending - this love?!? plz - so Chidori got off scot free? or his punishment is his guilt - like plz with this poetic b.s that amounts to nothing -

i'm sorry i watched this as this was crap, a lot of quote's about love, friendship etc that want to give this movie gravitas that it lacks in spades , basically this amounted to shit all - plz

was sure the reason for the negative comments, that this wasn't action packed. sadly this turned out to be a waste of time, as the plot (the summation) is whack. i don't think this is boring, but it is a frustrating watch.
this a drama more then an action flick. n reading the description u get the main picture/plot. But Doo Hyeon isn't an innocent man, he might not have murdered his n Yeong Min's boss. but he got blood on his hands. so whatever the reason he chose to keep quite - he not innocent.
like IMHO Yeong Min isn't that much of a bad-guy (not any worse then Doo Hyeon) he a gangster that wants to be boss, of course he gonna go around killing, robbing etc..(whatever gangster's do). the fact he got a spoilt brat isn't shocking either, when this movie starts we see him rushing baby Eun Joo to the emergence room cause of heart problems. that also explains his following the Big-bosses orders to kill "the Goblin's master" or his then murdering the Big-boss (he desperate, n having a kid with heart problems costs money). that make him extra bad?!? same with pampering the sick child n turning her into a bully (u could blame him), but it's also very understandable.

on the other hand, i didn't get Ji Yeong (Doo Hyeon wife/ex) pretty sure he didn't hide the fact he a gangster, so why the act after she had Ye Na?!? why throw a tantrum n make him feel like sh*t. as if leaving the mob is so easy, no logic. (btw her leaving after he got convicted was logical, not cause of the set-up, but cause of how murder's families r treated in Asian countries).

this was fine until that end, liked the irony of fate pushing these 2 guys at each other, even when they chose different paths. yeah it wasn't all smooth sailing n could find plothole's throughout, but on a whole i was totally enjoying how this was unfolding, until that end where Doo Hyeon turned moronic; him asking Yeong Min if he did anything to his daughter (after he got ahold of Eun Joo), and i'm like ￣へ￣he already has endangered ur daughter, she's just out of freakin brain surgery. she in a coma and was moved by thugs ( ˘︹˘ ) her chances of waking up, went down - no?!? n u still wondering if "anything was done to her"?!? like make it make sense¯\(°_o)/¯Aish (ノω<。)ノ
then his not stabbing Yeong Min at the end, but begging to know where his daughter was. the frustration (╬▔皿▔)╯ really wanted Doo Hyeon death at that point (as he knew she was in that location). that whole scene was stoopid n it didn't get any better. the cherry on top, showing the scene of Doo Hyeon helping an injured Yeong Min from the start of the movie. what the frack was that meant to symbolize? don't care, as it really just annoyed me ＞﹏＜ n was really looking forward to seeing Jo Dong Hyuk, so not recommended✌

the initial idea was good, but after watching, feels more like a miss then a hit. (if i'm not wrong, this among the longer movies that STRONGBERRY has produced and yet it feels unfinished. while the shorter ones, weren't as plot-holey for want of a better word).

did Mrs. Kim know Bum Soo was gay? was that why she contracted Hyun Woo to fan-boy over him? not a female?!? and if that was meant to be some kind of weird motivation tactic, WTF she treat him like garbage? Hyun Woo was the good cop, while she was the bad?!?
1. there's no logic in spending money on a guy that u don't believe in.
2. not to mention, ur distracting him with another guy and then getting mad, he got distracted?!?
3. why invest so much on someone, u don't even have a contract with?!? and if all this wasn't enough, get Hyun Woo was desperate for money (why idk). but he took on a job that became more then a job, then he developed genuine feelings - ok - fine - understandable. but Why not come clean? Why hang out in the same place where u might encounter the person that hired u in the 1st place, that might get u caught and then(!) WHY run, and ghost someone u care for???
but the biggest WTF to date, is Bum Soo giving up everything for a guy that ghosted him with no explanation and they end up together - what i miss - why there no continuity from one scene to the next - no logic - yeah i can guess. but there things u leave to the audience's imagination and then there r times it feels like a copout - so yeah this a miss IMHO

this plot wasn't that complex and yet somehow the end product is complicated - or a mess. pity

the acting was hmmm ok in parts, on other's - needed work. bottom line, u could see they newbies. maybe that was also the case with the productions crew?!? either way plot is very simple. more 3 guys that r gay and had feelings for each other meeting again, then "Three young boys, who were high school friends...".

we got Hin that's the MC, who is dreaming of making it big, as a singer - for now just got some fan's online. A'Yao his ex who is a total douche, that is more interested in hooking up then "doing"/finding anything permanent. not really likeable, even though there was a scene where he's with a hook-up and having a nightmare, about his ex after Hin (Sheldon) that cheated on him, which doesn't go to explain the over reaction in the form of a nightmare - but this so short there was almost no time to really get into the nitty-gritty (i guess?!?)...
he and Hin reconnect in more then one way. (u have to guess and assume a lot, as there is no "how they meet again"). as A'Yao doesn't follow Hin online and doesn't even know he has a channel, not to mention Hin's breaking contact with all his high-school buddies according to A'Yao. btw A'Yao wasn't even in the same school as Hin - so there is a bit of a mix-up - like i said there is a lot left for the viewer to 'connect the dots' to make senses of everything.

Hugo on the other hand was Hin's classmate and friend, who also had a crush on him and after confessing and getting rejected, they drifted apart (guessing). as Hin is going to the same collage, he run's into Hugo and on their second encounter (that Hugo initiates, cause he want's to clear the air) he asks Hin if they r still friends, making sure that even though he got rejected that doesn't mean they can't still be friends.
Hin reassures Hugo and even invites him to his place for drink's - which Hugo takes as a sign that maybe this time around Hin is ready and more receptive to the idea of them being together. Hin either obtuse or idk what, cause he surprise's Hugo with A'Yao - who walk's in all attitude, ignoring Hugo, making him the third wheel and bursting his illusion.

as we got alcohol, A'Yao drink's to oblivion turning belligerent knocking Hin down - who was trying to take him to "sleep it off", Hugo come's to Hin's defense and A'Yao get's into an altercation with him. Hin intervenes and take A'Yao out, coming back only to berate an apologetic Hugo (as if he was at fault - like WTF?!? that's the moment i wanted Hugo to walk out - heck the sec A'Yao showed up, i would've made and excuse and walked out on HIn's ass. but i digress...) Hin that until that moment showed little to no interest in Hugo - well only the platonic kind - offer's to massage Hugo's injured shoulder, ordering him to undress - while looking around to make sure that no one was watching - dude wanted Hugo (!) but Hugo is the smart one, who knows he deserves better then to be a one night stand, that happened cause they were drunk and then he could be brushed off - "wakes up" from the fantasy, apologizes and walks away. leaving a very flustered Hin wondering WTF lol that was really a good end - and even if i didn't know who i was rooting for, in that moment - Hugo became the one ! cute one off that really doesn't go anywhere.

the movie itself isn't bad plot wise - but the acting isn't good, very amateurish and makes one wonder about the directors experience, cause everything is more student movie, then artsy short film. also seeing a few of the cast that were in another short movie (Broken Youth) same type vibe, i think this very low budget - using drama students, with little to no experience. again the plot was good, so i didn't think it was boring. subs could've been better, as a load of the times i felt like there was something getting lost in translation, which is a shame - but it is what it is.

ironically the description is spot-on in one aspect, Qin Nian does grow-up in the blink of n eye lol... one sec Chen Min (about to give birth) is rushing to her dead husbands body and the next it's 17 yrs later - that was "funny". this like Broken Youth might be tagged BL but that isn't the main plot point - the relationship between mother and son, his own self-hate cause of how, "...on the day he came to the world his father died, so he a bad omen..." - so yeah we got gay character's but it aint Only about being gay. his opening up to Liguang as he's pretty distant from his peers , but he opens up to Liguang and they become fast-friends pretty quick. he even opens up about stuff i doubt he talked with a soul. and Liguang is all understanding and accepting. they get close pretty quick which could be kindred spirits or soul mates - but it felt like Qin Nian finally found someone who would accept him warts and all. maybe that was also what touched his heart, as u notice that Qin Nian has fallen for Liguang.
Liguang i couldn't read - yeah he cares and is a great friend, but i never felt "more" and then when he accepts Lianxing's confession rushing to date her, while denying having any affection towards Qin Nian other then friendship - left me thinking, maybe it's was one sided?!?

but that's not the case, as Liguang admits in his sleep - which makes Lianxing go ballistic - unjustifiably so she spews venom around her. taking out her anger on anyone and everyone - lashing out at Qin Nian as if he trying to take her man - but it screamed insecurity - as everyone her, Xiaoyanjin - everyone in that group knew(!), that Qin Nian had feelings for Liguang and that it wasn't one sided. so just to get Liguang she manipulated the situation(?) as she put Liguang on the spot (when she confessed to him), either he admit he has feelings for a guy (i.e he gay) or date her. so her every move after that, was to push her relationship in Qin Nian's face and insert herself between the guys. but when she heard Liguang true feelings, she lost all control - (would've been great to know how that was concluded, but left blank...)
but the instant Liguang didn't come to Qin Nian defense (after all that venom she spewed his way, even going so far as trying to slap him - all this on his B-day), idk i wished Qin Nian turned to Xiaoyanjin (who i felt from the start had a thing for Qin Nian all along). but that like the conversation between Liguang and Lianxing goes nowhere and we just get Liguang trying to get back his friend. which i get and yet after everything that happened, wasn't satisfying in the least -

the rest is a bit rushed but this ending was interesting, well it's positive so that's a huge plus - as it leaves enough time for both guy's to grow into their own, and as Liguang asks Qin Nian to "wait for him" - it was great. so yeah, not perfect but considering a load of other movies this wasn't boring or frustrating to watch - for sure would rewatch (just hope the subs would be better) (●'◡'●)

well this was a WTF ending - but knowing there is a sequel, i guess it was planned all along - and that's why this just cut off at the end, but as the 2nd part was made a yr later, that's quite a while to wait if ur curious.. oh well it is what it is -

first off didn't really want to watch this, considering the content - as I aint into BDSM, heck i hate pain and the though of dominating anyone makes me feel "its too much work for the pay-out..." the tough of being dominated, even more ridiculous. so was on the fence going in - but bored and was just looking for anything to watch, so clicked and this was fun - think cause both the mains r so innocent and there aint no sinister - abuser/user taking advantage of a weak injured soul helped elevate this from something dark to light and even wholesome..

seeing these two teens venture into unknown territory was funny and cute to watch - and the fact that there were genuine feelings involved made this feel almost like a romance with a light BDSM twist. so cute and fun - u don't need to be an enthusiast to enjoy this

sad movie - great acting but freakin sad... and as much as i would like to ask "is it right to start a relationship when ur dying, losing ur mind or both..." i feel like in this instance it was more two lost soul latching onto each other, to keep from drowning -

the fact that Chan Hae wasn't with a life threatening disease, doesn't mean he was in a better place in life. that's why in-spite of it not being a great idea, he let his emotions in finding a kindred spirits rule out thoughts like, "is this a good idea", and he just did what felt right - same with Ryoko, she didn't reach out to him when she was coherent but lost and desperate, turning to the one person that was a safe haven she recognized - that didn't preach or talk down to her - but was there for her, no questions asked...

the end of the relationship was a given, and so was both their reactions - he couldn't walk away cause he genuinely cared, and if u love how can u walk away unaffected knowing the suffering awaiting the person u love?!? on her part, she wanted while she was coherent enough to do the right thing - not to turn into a burden he might come to regret - as she had previous knowledge cause of her own mothers suffering's. so they both were hurting and sad and ultimately that helped him grow as a person, let alone find something he wanted to do in life..

of course a happily ever after would be perfect, but "going in" everyone knows this will have a sad ending, as they know they will tear-up and cry - but it was a bittersweet moment throughout this movie
