“I’m sorry. I’m so sorry.” - Toon

“You didn’t do anything wrong. Since you were a kid, I’ve always known you weren’t a girl. You don’t have to apologize for being who you are. From now on, I just want you to be happy.” – Toon’s aunt

This is a very emotional watch, but it’s worth it.

What I like most about this story is the way Toon talks about the important people in his life. The way that although their beliefs, misunderstandings and choices hurt him, he always tries to understand them. This really speaks volumes about the type of person he is. It’s probably why I cried so much watching the things he had to go through. The rude and insensitive questions he answered to in a calm and patient manner no matter how much they hurt him.

I also like the asexual story arc. Since I didn’t watch the trailer for this and the synopsis doesn’t mention it, I totally was not expecting it and was pleasantly surprised. Their story is similar to the one in Friend Zone with the difference that there’s a generational gap I think? The one in this story are still in school whereas the one in Friend Zone are already working.

There’s also another couple here. Not in the synopsis and again, I don’t know if they are in the trailer. Their confidence, maturity and especially sass are particularly refreshing and super cute.

I really like this story, and I feel like I learned a lot from it. And now that I know what to expect, I can watch it again sans the crying. For 15 mins or so, I could only hear what was happening and couldn’t really see. So it would be nice to actually see those scenes now.
