My thoughts

THIS POST CONTAINS SPOILERS

Well after reading the old summary post, I’m greatly embarrassed that I posted it.
At the time it was so long since I watched the film so I couldn’t remember what happened yet I still proceeded to post it.

It’s a good film.
I thought the film was going really well: it was progressing very steadily once Su-min accepted Jae-min,  when Jae-min’s parents get involved and orders him to marry his ‘girlfriend’ and when Jae-min gives Su-min the cold shoulder in the corridor –  I was totally prepared for the story to develop. When Jae-min is the elevator with his girlfriend and parents and then reveals to her that the guy they just saw is the man he loves – I was happy, their romance is going to get back on track this is great!
But then some genius comes up with the idea of kidnapping Jae-min and doing what with him? Burying him in the forest!
I’m just glad Su-min came to his senses and stopped it!

I wouldn’t say this film was the best film I’ve seen, but it wasn’t awful! The story starts off as something very typical of a BL film, the last 20 minutes or so totally threw me!~
I was thinking that if Su-min doesn’t die from that head wound, they’re both going to die from the cold and mean as though that didn’t kill them, they were definitely going to die from that crash.
But nope! No death, only happy endings!~

I’m going to rate this film
6/10
