This isn't a movie you'll want to watch with expectations, you must keep an open mind. There are three characters mainly involved and one is seen as different from the others, for reasons later revealed. There is something to be learned from the three of them. This film is beautifully done from acting all the way to the LGBTQ+ representation that stretches beyond surface, covering and bringing awareness to real life situations and emotions rarely shown in mainstream media and entertainment, especially when it comes to these characters and their circumstances. I believe there are multiple lessons to be learned here. This movie shows the troubles of counting on your own expectations to fulfill your being in the face of anything or anyone. It also touches on how important it is to stand in your truth-in your own time-to do, live and shine for yourself.

Eight out of ten stars are for personal reasons. Certain scenes and transitions I would've liked to see done differently. Nonetheless, it was a ten and the message was overall important.

The movie is very well done.

Saw this film at the Hong Kong Lesbian Gay Film Festival with the director in attendance.

Overall, really well done. The acting was spot-on, especially by the lead actresses. Being a Korean film made this film even more impactful considering the subject matter; it brings much needed awareness to LGBTQ+ themes, especially in countries where it isn't talked about or even believed. Representation matters, and this film achieves that.
