I have mixed feelings about this movie.

On the one hand, it's a breath of fresh air - instead of the usual violence, struggle and rejection, the protagonist finds love, strength and companionship in coming out. It's a side of the story that's not often covered in movies that instead chose to dramatize the trauma of being gay. The movie's depictions of LGBTQ life is refreshing, depicting the experience of having gay friends and the struggle of being closeted and normalizing the existence of closeted LGBT people.

But the main plot is kind of silly, the acting feels stilted and the camerawork is amateur.

Still, I would recommend watching it once just for the refreshing take on the subject matter.

aside from the frustratingly endless flashback scenes this is an absolutely phenomenal drama with a great plot, very nuanced relationships and unique side characters who all have their own arcs. i love the female lead so much, she's the kind of character we rarely get to see in k dramas and i love that she holds her own in her romance with the male lead, they are always on equal terms. a lot of dramas turn the strong woman lead into a simpering damsel once the romance starts but this one does a great job of showing two equal partners in a relationship. i adored it and i wish there were more shows like it.

just forward through the flashbacks and watch the show.
