Un jour, il rencontre Sung Woo Jae, un célèbre auteur de fiction qu'il a connu mais à qui il n'a pas parlé depuis longtemps. Mais Sung Woo Jae lutte aussi contre ses démons. Son premier amour s'est terminé dans le chagrin, et il s'est consolé en écrivant, devenant par la suite un auteur prolifique de romans en ligne. Leur rencontre déclenche une romance passionnée qui brûle comme les flammes de la guerre. Cette relation saura-t-elle guérir les blessures de Sung Woo Jae et sortir Ha Yeon Woo de son marasme ?

Critiques

I love doing comparison reviews when a BL series is edited into a movie. It’s just bizarre I had to wait over 1 ½ years to do this one. What is even more bizarre is I had to use a VPN to watch the movie edit of a Viki original series on GagaOOLala. This is especially weird considering that Viki released three other Korean BL series (one of them also a Viki original) after this series which all were quickly edited into a movie within the same year of its release.
The movie/series: This had an interesting storyline. The script was simple but good. I love how they used Woo Jae’s web-based novel to mirror the main couple’s situation. This helped explained both main characters’ feelings. It had nice cinematograph but the flash back scenes in the beginning was a little confusing because it was not clearly marked. The acting was good with the usual exception often seen in Korean BL series/movies.
The movie: The movie has a different starting point because they edited out the opening credits and the first 2 minutes from the series beginning. Overall, the move version was ok. They did a great job editing it into a cohesive movie. However, they made a few poor editing choices with the scenes they cut out. I know this was probably done for timing purposes, but the storyline did not have the same pacing it had in the series. On a good note, it did not affect the relationship and story progression in anyway.
Random Notes:
I strongly recommend watching the series version (on Viki if you can) because the pacing had a nice, even flow to it. Another reason is the movie’s English subtitles on GagaOOLala were very bad (I did not take points off for this).
******Spoiler Alert******
Although it was a bit extreme, I get why Woo Jae left. However, I don’t fully understand why he showed such hostile anger towards Yeon Woo. Especially considering he is the one that left without telling Yeon Woo.
The usual exception of course were the kiss scenes. I don’t need the actors to suck each other’s faces off, but at least kiss with some emotions. if the actors are not willing to do a proper kissing scene, have them kiss each other on the check or them hugging. Again, not every BL series has to end with a big make-out/kiss session.

Not as bad as I feared.
I've been dragging my feet on watching this for the last two years because I read a review where someone basically said "this has a kiss so bad it's homophobic". But I have reached the bottom of the proverbial BL bucket so I thought I'd give the movie version a shot.And I will say this: It is definitely not worst movie I've watched in the last two years, but yeah, the kissing was bad. Honestly I'm a bit surprised they didn't change the edit for the movie. Because I feel like it's mostly the prolonged lingering on the moment that made it so extra cringey and awkward.
For the most part the story is decently told and acted. Although I will say that it does sometimes feel a little disjointed. Almost as if there are scenes missing.
