And by ‘May’ I mean does!!! 

 

After Ricky comes out to his family, he is cast out by his parents and now lives with his close friend Mark who has still not revealed his true feelings, not even to his girlfriend.
Mark finds one of Ricky’s magazines and becomes curious…he buys a magazine for himself but when Mabel (his girlfriend  visits he quickly hides it under the cover of the sofa, however his attempts to hide it fail when she sits down and discovers it. Thankfully, to avoid awkwardness she assumes it belongs to Ricky.
Mark and Ricky get closer and closer and it becomes obvious that Mark really cares for Ricky, one day after sitting on the roof and just talking, Mark indirectly confessed his feelings.

My Thoughts:

Short movie guys….short movie…
This movie was so sweet and super adorable!
Chet Lam and Nicky Hung are really really cute, and really great actors.

However, there is a definite lack of physical affection in this movie. I don’t mind too much because you can understand what is going on just by the way they behave around each other. For example, the day that Mark confessed(-ish) and they spent the night together, they could have either had sex, or just slept next to each other. Judging by the way they both acted during the night and the next morning I’m just going assume they made the sexy time.

The subtitled version I used to watch it….the subs weren’t that good, as they were white, so whenever they showed on a light background I had to guess what was going on.

 

I would have liked to have seen more action, but as I said before, it concentrates more on the emotional   side rather than the physical attraction between the guys.

I will rate it
6/10

Another short movie…. *sigh*  Damn you Korea! why must you create such insanely cute movies but make them so unbearably short!?!

I really liked this short movie though, it was so lovely…BUT OMMMGGGGG when ‘Mr. Postman’ sees Miss Park at the guy’s address…I died inside,.
…and when they’re both at the public bath but facing the wrong way I was screaming “TURN THE * bad word * AROUND!” at my laptop screen.

I really don’t like getting so aggravated at movies…especially those which last 14 minutes!
I’m just going to imagine that there is an extended version of this where Mr. Postman turns around, sees the cute guy, then cute guy turns around,  they then  stare into each other’s eyes…and just smile lovingly at each other..
Thats all I ask for!! 40 extra seconds of smiling! There doesnt even have to be any kissing or anything…just…a smile

But despite my frustration and longing for 40 extra seconds of smiling…I enjoyed it!

I rate this adorably frustrating 14 minute movie, that needs 40 more seconds:
8/10

Please feel free to leave a comment to tell me (and others!) what you thought!

Now this movie is only 13 minutes long. But there is a longer version which is 15 minutes long….give or take.

I thought it was cute….brief…but cute 🙂

I’m not sure if these characters are meant to be the same as those in ‘Just Friends?’ but they have the same names…If they are meant to be the same then its very confusing, because the Seok-i in this movie is totally different, personality-wise, to the Seok-i in Just Friends?….so i dont think they are the same characters….maybe the people who made the film just really like the names?! ahahha

HOLY CRAP HYE-SUNG KIM IS CUTE!

What kind of friends does Seok-i have?! You dont go around stealing stuff from people!! Especially not cute guys like Min-soo

Its good!
Short movies are way too short -.-”

I rate:
6/10

P.S It can be found on YouTube!

My thoughts :

CONTAINS SPOILERS

I really liked this movie, its a shame its only 30 minutes long.
Okay, first things first….that song at the begininng….what?!?! lol

Seoki is so adorable on the bus! The relationship between Seoki and Minsu is so beautiful!!!
I really don’t like the whole “Mother finds out about gay love, will she hate you forever?” Storyline….but this one, I can deal with
I think the worst thing….was when the mother saw them, and just…stood there with that look on her face and then left. Psychological torture.

Ahh my god when that girl is upset about her lover being gay…and tells Seoki and he’s all like “I could tell….how did you not know?!!” Wow Seoki, way to be sensitive!

– I laughed a little when that jesus figure smiled  –

Minsu and Seoki FOREVER!!
The ending….Noooo!!! They have to go through all of it again….lol

Not gonna lie…when I saw the DVD cover I immediately thought they were holding his stomach…like he was pregnant, It wasn’t until i stared at it for a while did I realise they were unbuttoning the shirt

I really recommend this movie….sure its really short, but its so cute.
I rate:
7/10

My thoughts:

CONTAINS SPOILERS

Prepare to have your heart ripped from your chest. I’m not even joking.

These guys are so adorable….seriously!!!
Lun and Jeng ..! Ahhh when they’re play fighting on the bed…I swear, it was so cute!

Ohhh my god, dont forget the swimming pool scene..I couldn’t handle that scene, I had to take a break – scream for a little bit and then take a cold shower before resuming.

It’s so heartbreaking when Jeng’s team mates are making fun of him and picking on Lun. And Jeng was trying to defend them both, and then ends up getting kicked off the team.

And then Jeng breaks it off with Lun…Lun’s face…
Oh god and when he sees Cin and Jeng together…HEART WRENCHING.

It was all too much, seriously…people with weak hearts, you wont be able to handle this.

But the ending was so lovely, I’m so glad Cin and Jeng broke up so freely.
When Jeng was running to find Lun, my heart leapt!
And the hug at the end, Lun didnt even have to turn around to know it was Jeng, how perfect, and then my heart melted xD

Even though its only 40 minutes long it’s still worth seeing!
I know how a lot of people don’t really like short movies, honestly i’m not a big fan but this one was really good, and even though it wasn’t that long it doesnt ‘feel’ like it was a short movie….If that makes any sense at all.

Unfortunately i don’t know the actors….sorry 😦

I rate:
8/10
