I came here because of Chimon however the beginning of the show was a little too graphic for my liking. I personally felt that there were some adult scenes that weren't necessary as it made the film swing a little towards soft-porn. However I am thankful that there weren't many such scenes and after awhile, it toned down a lot more so it was okay to stay on to watch.

The film basically revolves around Chimon who experiences loneliness and when being exposed to (stumbling upon) 2 men in action, he goes through a journey of self-discovery in his sexuality. Even more so when a kind and caring friend suddenly appears into his life, filling up the emptiness and loneliness he felt.

The whole story line is pretty logical. The portrayal of religion background and how it form certain perception in relation to sexuality is also very realistic (although I personally felt that the homophobia was a little too extreme) however I do understand the perspective of a religious parent. That part of the plot however was a little cliche and something we've seen multiple times but it wasn't too bad.

Several things that I enjoyed from this film is how they expressed loneliness and longing, the stress of meeting family expectations, the pressure of being 'NORMAL' as well as the depression that one slips into when loneliness and heartache are mixed in the same equation.

Overall, good enjoyable story. Chimon is a sweetheart! Wanted to slap several characters upside-down lol however it's not something I would watch again. Once is already more than enough.
