Why I think this movie portrayed something important:
This is my first review so I really don't know how to write one but I thought this movie deserved something like it. Incredible movie and one of my favorites now.
I like how they portrayed Gi Woong's backstory and didn't just display that he was a bully. I've seen a lot of shows and read some books that are bullies/d to lovers and they can be very lacking in the department of explaining why the character was so cruel and mean to the other. But in this movie, we got to see his situation. Bullying is not ok and can never be justified, but most people have reasons and can change...His dad was a criminal and he got bullied and teased in middle school because of this and other reasons. He was angry at the world and just wanted to keep everyone at a distance because of his pride and the fact that he was hurting. I don't think he actually ever liked fighting and hurting people, it was just his nurture; he was confused and frustrated and didn't know how to function under the stress that was overwhelming him. It happens to real people and it's really a sad thing to see people that was nice and sweet turn into people that hurt others.
I ssw some comments wondering if Gi Woong was actually gay and I think he was a variant of it. It seems when he asked Yong Ju why he kept following him around he already knew the answer. The frustration from his confusion pushed Yong Ju away from him. But it seems like in the end, he had accepted it. He always showed regret after he'd hurt Ju. And Yong Ju always liked him no matter what.
It was a pretty sad movie. It made me cry more than I usually do. Like most people, I didn't know it was going to take the darker turn that it did. It was a pretty long movie but no part left me bored. And it showed more than just romance. It told of character development and self-acceptance. I showed how easy it can be to just give up. Because some people have really terrible lives but they stick through it and try to make the most out of it. It was a beautifully sad movie that is really hard to put into words.
