first off totally impressed with Earth, the only character's i've seen him portray r the standoffish, cold, douche-bags with a Huge chip on his shoulder, let alone the short-fuse. so seeing him act so young and carefree without me cringing that a 27yr old is "acting" the teen, was wow - guess the dude does know how to act - plus he was so freakin vulnerable and loveable in this - so unlike his usual roles, i'm a bit dumbstruck... positively the plot all in all was short and sweet - very simple and yet i kinda didn't get Talay - idk if it was a translation glitch or what, but cause he was worried/scared to face his true feelings rejected (rather brutally) Whale - so why he going on about them both suffering and being in pain? and not that i didn't get his pain / insecurity - but that was his choice. he knew why he pushed Whale away and treated him like a pervert, then adding insult to injury ignoring him - basically pushing him away.
get why he did that, but his thought process wasn't logical - one would think Whale was the one that rejected and abandoned him... so this was so so - i for sure didn't think he deserved Whale to rush back the sec he was ready - plus he didn't indicate that he was ready for a relationship - he just wrote he waiting for his friend, so they could travel together. and that the grand romance end we get?
guess i'm the only cynic here... that thinks this a really sad ending - cause this doesn't make-up for Whale's suffering and it for sure doesn't insure he gonna get love this time around (and i aint talking the platonic kind).
so it was cute and fun up to a point and the acting was good - but one off

aish - well redundant to point out, i didn't like this - and until the half way point i was bored or rather uninterested in everything going on - the mains didn't help me like this any better. get Tozaki is the sweet imbecile in love, or rather blinded by love (and he not that unique, a lot of people men and women alike - let themselves be used, abused and taken for granted cause their emotions r involved, and they can't seem to think straight). so yeah he was sweet, but the way he let Kurata treat him - all cause he was his first love - just frustrated me. seeing how at first Kurata treated him like a one-night-stand and then a booty-call, didn't help me like either character - especially when Tozaki always welcomed him with that stupid, innocent, expectant smile, i wanted to slap some sense into him. the point i really started liking and connecting with this movie, was when Tozaki lost it and point-blank asked Kurata what he considered him - that was a moment of growth - where Tozaki at last demanded some respect. he stopped being an enabler and forced Kurata to come clean...
the fact that little by little (throughout this movie) u get that Kurata was as infatuated with Tozaki, when they were teens - and they were each others first-love doesn't sweeten or justify Kurata treatment of Tozaki. and u didn't get any back-story as to why he was the way he was - just cause he didn't want to be "out and proud"?!? and his fits or rage where he almost raped Tozaki (twice) - cause he was jealous was ridiculous.. especially when we talking about grow-ass-men not teens with raging hormones. so enjoying or liking this is beyond me, and i didn't have any problem with their looks - but have a major problem with the character's personalities and the plot in general - this screamed more abuse then romance - so a one off

way better then the first movie
even though watching them back to back, why they even connected?!? cause the director is the same? cause one of the mains is the same actor? he for sure not the same character - so how this connect?!? just cause its about boys that fall in-love??? bit far-fetched if u ask me, and going by this logic - every other movie made by this director should be BL3, 4 ,5 etc if its about boys in-love¯\_(ツ)_/¯ weirdanyway this story was way more relatable and had more substance then the 1st one. maybe cause of the positive ending? idk this just felt more cohesive - things made sense (even though the teacher breakin-up with his gf is written in the description - cause movie wise - with the subs i saw - he broke up with a dude) this movie involved zero females, other then some teachers and nurses - basically background dressing.
and Sora was in no way, shape or form was infatuated with Aoi. if anything going by his back-story this poor kid was (in-spite of being adopted by a rich family) all alone - fending for himself trying to reunite the family he lost 10 yrs ago. was wondering if he from a rich family, why stoop to sell his body. what happened in that family that he would chose such a profession - and then the more u see, u get how sad of a life he is really living - if u could call that "living". his connection with Aoi is accidental and cause he needs help in buying his family home, he turns to Aoi - there is no love involved. yeah he jokes about "comforting" him cause of how they met, and Aoi's hysterically intimidated attitude, whenever he was around Sora. does make for great comedic material for a teen - but it doesn't amount to anything.
Aoi cause of his position as a teacher, it was logical him being that paranoid not knowing if and when Sora would use the info he had and how he would "out" him - that is a legitimate threat - he wouldn't just get kicked out of that school considering Sora a teen he could get blacklisted, so i got his fear.
but most of the character's introduced r suffering - and its like the teachers r there but not - as bullying is rampant and cause its done by the kid whose father is a big donner - its over-looked. Ichiyo who is basically an outcast in that school cause of his childhood bff Riku (who from the sec u notice him, u get he is obsessed / infatuated with Ichiyo) but like the immature moron that he is, his go to is to ostracize and alienate Ichiyo - constantly bully him - like some imbecile that hasn't matured enough so he pulling on the "girls" ponytail cause he likes her - same here.
the problem is at last Ichiyo feels he found a friend, as Sora stands-up to Riku for Ichiyo's sake - and they get along as roommates - which in turn gets Riku jealous cause he doesn't want anyone around Ichiyo . so he bullies Ichiyo into forgoing his bed and then tries to get it on with Sora, who has enough on his plate so he distances himself from both Riku and Ichiyo.
isolated, segregated Ichiyo feels the withdrawal of Sora's friendship acutely - he becomes fixated on him trying to get close - to beg for forgiveness. his desperation and naivete - plus him seeing Sora meet up with a guy and his own confused past (cause Riku and Ichiyo's friendship wasn't platonic - and as Riku is the aggressor and Ichiyo the introvert - not hard to figure out that Ichiyo might not have wanted what Riku did . and cause of that rejection Riku wouldn't let Ichiyo exist in peace. once u get this everything else kind falls into place - very sadly but a lot makes senses...) so Ichiyo who has been suffering all along and his current loss, is just the last straw - he snaps. even after his finding out that Sora sells himself - is a last ditch effort to get back the one friend he found - but Sora has his own problems to deal with and is incapable of recognizing Ichiyo cry for help. in desperation he turns to Riku - who takes him to bed and as Ichiyo doesn't want or need sex - the outcome is heartbreaking but not shocking.
the rest is Riku the spoilt brat needing someone to blame and venting his anger (of course in a perfect world he would more then just an ass-kicking for what he did. but it is what it is) - Aoi ironically after Ichiyo's suspension, find's out about Sora's back story and starts to clam-down, as he sees Sora for the hurting forsaken kid that he is. and when he gets hurt that's when Aoi's heart gets involved - the ending was positive in-spite of how Sora ends-up, cause they have each other and a hope for a future. so a way better movie then the 1st one and this for sure will rewatch

confused
what's for sure watching this u get none of the relationship's were/are healthy - Tae Kyu for one is just messed in the head and maybe his mentioning not having family or that he will get female clients and not male - cause now he with Yong Joon (says it jokingly, as this dude has no intention of lightning the financial load, that's Yong Joon's problem). i guess it goes to explain why Tae Kyu is messed-up, as assuming he been on the streets from a young age. and the only one willing to love and take care of him (finally) unequivocal is Yong Joon . that's why he is so desperate and possessive of him - sadly i wonder if love even enters in this equation . as Tae Kyu is very selfish - its like he is living in a world of his own, where he could care less how Yong Joon makes money to buy the meat he wants of the daily, let alone pays for the roof over his head or anything else he needs/wants, while he goofs around with that stupid bb gun - how Yong Joon supports them, is not his problem or a blimp on his radar, he just does his thing - shit all - and Yong Joon picks up after him, literally.the whole situation with the kid and the injured eye is confusing, cause at the start (before the scene where the father threatens to put out the cigarette on Tae Kyu's eye - and eye for an eye cause he did that to his kid, i assume) i was sure Tae Kyu and the kid r one and the same, cause Tae Kyu mentions a disability in his left eye (but he's called for mandatory army service and usually if u got a disability they don't draft u - plus he doesn't look like he has problem with his eyes - brain, maybe, but that's another matter) the same eye the kid's got patched-up and the kid kinda looks like Tae Kyu (just younger). so was confused and unsure WTH was going on - and whether the hints "dropped" were supposed to mean something, that was just going over my head.
so mentioning all of the above hard not to feel really bad for Yong Joon, who only wants love and as Jae-sung (unlike in the description betrays Yong Joon, when he gets married to a female) guess that was the real reason for him defecting from North Korea. he comes to a new country and has to deal with all entailed, which isn't ever easy, when ur all alone in the world and his finding Tae Kyu in similar situation - they latch onto each other. not a healthy relationship by any means - considering the lengths Yong Joon goes through to support Tae Kyu. and yet as he has no one, i guess he rather suffer everything, just to have someone who is dependent on him - giving him the delusion of belonging - i.e family.
Jae-sung somehow also defects. as he put it "...his life went to hell after Yong Joon left..." so "getting" that he couldn't forget Yong Joon or live with a woman he comes in search of Yong Joon, only to find him in a mess - not that Yong Joon welcomes him with open arms. but his "...i'd rather live together in shared sorrow..." was a bit laughable considering Tae Kyu didn't share shit - even when confronted by the blackmailing father, he would walk away as if it had nothing to do with him, leaving Yong Joon to deal with the problem - and even after he wouldn't ask, wonder or offer any help, it was like it had nothing to do with him - that's why was wondering WTF Yong Joon was talking about, when he was telling Jae-sung he better off now. that was so far from the truth - its like he was ready to cut his nose to spite his face - get he was angry at Jae-sung and not ready to forgive him. but he wasn't ready to give him up either. and he for sure wasn't ready to stop anything with Tae Kyu - but i guess its cause he knew how lost Tae Kyu would be without him - bottom line this a mess. so everything ending the way it did - not astounding. and yet confusing as we get an end scene of Jae-sung living in Yong Joon apartment as if nothing happened and i'm like "no!! i need more info, about what went down with both Yong Joon & Tae Kyu..." but it is what it is
side note - there was So much going on psychologically that the sexual scenes, as erotic and in ur face as they were - all fell to the sidelines -

the korean take is interesting, more f*cked-up as they r family not ex-lovers who r bored and a bit narcissistic - who for the fun of it make bets about seducing people. making them family has its yuck factor for me, and both of them were equally messed-up, doing anything for the fun of it. treating others like pawns for their amusement, which given the time period was befitting, as usually rich people didn't have many ways to entertain themselves - so a twisted mind "helped".
didn't by the love story, not between the cousins, neither the young lovers who just exchanged letters, or the widow and Jo Won. that was kind of a hard-sell and left me feeling it was either rushed or lost in translation.
don't find this better, just different, even the sex/nude scenes weren't overly R-rated, yeah it was needed to tell the story, but as opposed to other movies i've seen, it was moderate. not vulgar.
still good, not a rewatch, but interesting (as someone who has seen other adaptations of this movie from other countries, quite good).

movie was good, the beginning - hell until he made a run for it - it was a tough watch, especially knowing he was innocent and the sh*t he had to go through. was horror inducing for me, reminded me of a few movie (The Fugitive (1993) Ready Player One (2018)).. was at the edge of my seat on a few instances, and glad everything worked out in the end.the villain was psychotically evil, f*cker, no conscience at all - the guts to represent the person u incriminated and then add insult to injury u kill his mother, like no conscious at all. even after seeing how he was suffering in prison, really scary. and even though he was caught, the chick that was working with him is free and from what was said - if he is replaceable, she as guilty as he is and she will restart the operation and this insidious machine will be back at work. this kinda open ending is annoying.
have to say usual don't like FL's (in korean dramas, sometimes even movies) but Mr.Hairy was the bomb - no bellyaching and crying, acting cutesy and vulnerable, demanding attention and seeking help cause she a delicate flower. yeah she was an introvert, but she was strong and kick-ass and the sec she knew he was out - she was ready to help. even though cause of her being an introvert, pretty sure her contacting all the other players in the group and meeting up with everyone was emotionally grueling.. but really great watch

well this was surprisingly good. i think i love Korean movies and dramas, because it's not just face-value, but there is depth to the story.my two cents.... U-in was pissed at his gf for persuading his father into sending him to Korea, nobody wants their partners to treat them like a child; as someone insignificant and go over their heads, it's not a good way to treat anyone in a relationship.
from the get go he was weird with his future sister-in-law. their first meet at the coffee place had a weird vibe. when u look at him. the sister was reserved but it was normal, as she was basically meeting a stranger.
maybe then he found her attractive and his subconscious chose her as a means of getting back at this gf. donno - guessing.
the older sister was leading a boring life, guess that's what routine does to a body, its depressing. the scene at the start where she is watching TV and her son is asleep with his head on her shoulder, was endearing and heartwarming. but the look on her face was "dead" and considering her son is a teen, and they usually don't like cuddling their mothers, this should've made her smile. bad indicator that the only emotion she showed was when she started interacting with U-in. he reminded her that she was alive. kind of a cliché, but loads of woman cheat / have affairs because of this reason. not saying this is ok. but this is a sad fact.
i think her ending it with U-in and then breaking up with her husband, was self flagellation / penitence cause she knows she has done wrong, so she doesn't deserve happiness or a "happy ending" that's why she broke it off... but ironically they r both on the same plane, heading to the same destination... kept open for us to make what we want with that ending...
side note didn't get why the sister broke the fish tank, they didnt f*ck ur fiancée dude.... if it was me in the heat of the moment i would be aiming at my sister - but that's me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ but all in all a good movie

read commenters saying u need an open-mind or that "there aint angel or demons just humans" (well they used the word "bad-guys") and that's one way to look at this drama or life. but it would be untrue - yeah people will be people, and nobody is perfect - but being a self-centered d*ck that doesn't take other peoples feelings into consideration, is a bad-person! its that simple. so i kinda like the ending -cause after everything that happened MAYBE at long last Hai Qing grew-up enough, to understand that he can't act the spoilt-brat for his whole life, he can't go around expecting others to take care of him and cater to his needs...
his deciding to leave and study in the US - going to his father. isn't only showing that he cares at long last for family - and the importance of that in his life. but that he needs to distance himself from the men that want to mother him - and the studying abroad bit, will also help him grow-up mentally -
if he stayed with Yan Fei, what would change? he would just substitute one babysitter for another cause Yan Fei would fit right into the role of caretaker / nanny / mother and Hai Qing will continue being the spoilt infantile baby. so the decision showed maturity on Hai Qing's part - and that is something to applaud.
Ping Jun doing the right thing was obvious - there was no way he or anyone could put up with the crap that was going on - no matter how much u love someone when u see that they keep going back to someone else that isn't u - u can't keep acting blind, deaf and dumb... and i'm glad that he did that for himself - just now hope his next partner will be worthier..
side note - read comments about Ping Jun being a better fit for Yan Fei (and if Yan Fei was a better person, i would be all for that. but he isn't - so NOPE) but everyone seems to forget how Yan Fei couldn't keep his eyes off Ping Jun at the photo-shoot or even before, when Pinky introduced her brother to her boss the first time. his wanting to tag alone to Pinky's birthday party was why? cause he sensed Hai Qing was gonna be there? plzz it was cause Ping Jun was, and he couldn't get him to come to the barbeque after the shoot. but whatever... this was a good ending for all involved if Hai Qing and Yan Fei ended up together, then i would be pissed and call this B.S. this was good.

this is a good movie if ur into watching humans be human
aish from where to start, first off haven't read the manga and after watching this, very intrigued to find out how it differs from the movie and if the ending (if it has ended in "written" form) is much more satisfying then this open ending.secondly, read comments saying - agreeing with Otomo when he called himself self-centered - and i Don't agree - yeah there a bucket load of messed-up, complicated character's here, but he just another one on a long list. he for sure aint at the top of that list.
this whole drama is about people not being perfect in any way, shape or form... trying to succeed at love and life and basically buggering it all up - to put in mildly. if anything watching this if there is anyone that i rooted for by the end, it's Otomo - yeah he was guarded and stoic, the typical tsundere (without any background info about why he is the way he is - i can't say what is the cause for his turning out the way he did) but he for sure aint heterosexual, he either bisexual, pansexual or a deeply closeted homosexual... cause the way he noticed Imagase in their collage/university days, wasn't platonic in the least - and he was always aware of him..
Imagase "proposal" starts to break down his walls from the first encounter. and i think its more about being with a man then being with Imagase - which of course changes when Imagase keeps at it - or maybe i'm wrong, as no one would go back to the woman they r cheating with, when they know their wife has a detective tailing them - that was kind of an open invite, for the 2nd encounter to happen -
the rest is kind of a emotional roller costar, where Imagase who seems to know what he wants, can't deal with getting his wish - and keeps pushing Otomo away with words and actions... therefore the sad open ending
but this is one hell of an emotional ride where u see Otomo grow, mature into his own. and that in itself made this worthwhile - i enjoyed this even if i would've loved a happy end - but "they" kept it real and i can appreciate the reason, as in life no happy ending guarantied.

that's why when he and Wesley hit it off, everyone watching mirrored Pearl's disgust. so here he is being humanized, so he (his character) will be worthy either of Wesley or whoever.. but i think his interaction with Achilles - or putting him off once again, for greener unknown pastures (that ironically turned out to be Wesley..) makes u wonder is this dude really someone, i should care and root for?!?
in this one episode the only one that shined for me - the one i want more off and hope he gets his place to shine is Achilles, he was sweet, vulnerable and yet strong with a huge heart that i feel has been trampled over too many times, so i for one hope he gets a part in the 2nd season or a spin-off of his own.

Just No...
the plot was whack the acting same, it wasn't funny or that interesting, there was some nudity and a bit of erotica but nothing ground shattering... let me indifferent - and to call anything that happened between the leads as love is a reach.Khao runs away from home to house-sit for an older female friend that's like a sister(?) in the hopes of finding a job to making a living - but other then the first call to a friend - the "job hunt" ends there.. heck other then going out (we don't see it - so assuming) to buy himself better boxer briefs, he doesn't really leave the house - one that he loves to leave wide-open, and if we were talking about a private residence, would say ok. but this an apartment in a freakin building and the door is wide open - all the time, WTF??
the big romance also fizzes out, they have like minimal interaction and only cause Khao picks up a passed-out Pete and puts his drunk ass to bed, wiping him down cause he pukes on them both - so then Pete is nicer to Khao and still there isn't much interaction shown, for anyone to conclude - love. or even for either of them to end up in bed for Khao's B-Day. unless that was a birthday special XD
have to say watched 1hr 14mins of this and nothing is note worthy. yeah only the fact that when Khao's mom drops by to "read him the riot act", she's accompanied in the elevator by a ladyboy client and finds out that her son is now prostituting's himself - so after going on about sin and purgatory. he puts the only money he has, in her hands, promises her that he will give her more once he gets a job - she happily takes the money while still trying to act high and might? really? then she no different then a pimp - pssh plz.. that's the only bit that got a reaction out of me - the rest meeeh whatever...

must say left feeling flat - the acting was good, but the plot wasn't my cup of tea (& not talking about the same sex attraction issue) i don't come from a devote back ground, so seeing someone this addicted to religion is foreign to me. & yet get that as Yoo Han was all alone / an orphaned, he turned to god for comfort, as he turned to the church & the community it gave him, to be a substituent for the family he didn't have.
Joo Won to me was the embodiment of the serpent in the garden of Eden, u never got who he was or what his ulterior motive was - u just got that there indeed was one (not to mention he was shady as f*ck IMHO). he was quick to pick-up on how he effected Yoo Han. he kept getting close to him without actually crossing any boundaries, cause he suspected Yoo Han would run for the hills the sec he did.
but he kept finding ways to be in his vicinity (tempting him), kissing that girl - maybe she was another soul he needed to corrupt - one that took a bite of the apple. same as Yoo Han eventually did. also the reason he disappeared afterwards without a word - his job was done
also the reason i thought of this was cause of the girl in the prayer meet & her weird / scary dream of a serpent swallowing Yoo Han whole - considering what happened it indeed did....
the reason am left "flat" after watching, is cause this was depressing to me, Yoo Han's brainwashed attitude with religion - his lack of life & being open & vulnerable to bad people leaves me feeling depressed. so well acted but a one off

on a whole it was depressing & gloomy. the movie was separated into 3 acts.
the 1st half bored me out of my mind. Jan Wen walking around like a morbid, robotically depressed entity didn't arose my interest - heck i was bored out of my mind - zoning out, not even trying to bother & figure out WTH was going on, even though it was pretty straight forward so wasn't missing anything major (heck the 1st few sec already knew Xu Axing was infatuated with Jan Wen...) even before we find out he's gay.
the 2nd part was even more depressing, but at least wasn't bored - u got more of why Jan Wen walked around defeated (but for the life of me, i don't get how he goes from depressed bordering on total defeat / submission to despondency, to lets just randomly shoot people). isn't it more logical to shoot ones self & put an end to the suffering?!? u usually go shoot people cause u hate a group of people u think done u wrong - so this bit bothered me till the end.
the 3rd part was almost a rewind & re-figuration of the 2nd part - everything started off a bit different & Jan Wen chose a different path which is so much more optimistic & hope inducing until that bitter end (which makes u wonder; if someone is gonna have a bad end, is there a way to change that ultimate outcome or u doomed no matter what)...
*had to add, that i did feel sorry for Xu Axing who wasn't just infatuated but in-love with Jan Wen - after the lengths he was ready to go in the 2nd part. so even if he was ready to never admit this fact to his best-friend ever, it was all the more heartbreaking watching him long for something he would never have.
then come the after credits which left me "scratching my head" wondering WTF... so maybe i need to rewatch this a couple of time to get all the nuances / clues i missed the 1st time around. or need to understand Taiwanese let alone know more about the culture, but as this depressing & boring that wont be any day soon. ✌

1st off the subs aint good, sadly that makes it hard (like, got the gist. but am sure there minute details that went over my head). regardless, must say enjoyed this as much as i did "The Witch: Part 1. The Subversion". which comes as a surprise, not just cause of all the negative feedback this has gotten. but cause been put off watching this, as wanted the 2nd part, to pick up where the 1st left off (as is this took 4yrs in the making) & seeing how the 2nd part was described, cooled my curiosity - thus not rushing to watch when it came out, but am glad finally checked it out.this a slow burn for sure, think 30 mins in there almost no dialogue & what little there is, isn't enough to clue u in on what the heck is going on. for 1 didn't get who was against whom & why. get Dr. Baek & her twin where the main scientist, but who were they working for and why where they killing people left right & center even their experiment's?!? needed clarification on that, & who let Mi Young go at the start, who raised her?!? even if she got a tracker on her, how can they know she's pregnant & it's time to "collect" her? maybe this & more will get answered in the next part - for now these "hole's" r frustrating.
weird or not the one i really loved was Tom, dude a breath of fresh air - every one else was walking around like the freakin grim reaper (which, get considering their power, let lone how they were brought-up) but that still a downer to watch. also ironically enjoyed Yong Doo (he totally deserved how he died) but while he was alive, he was a fun character - especially when he was scared sh*tless lol.
would've loved if Kyung Hee & her brother survived (like the couple who saved Ko Ja Yun in the 1st part). but then (i doubt) Ko Ja Yun's twin would've willingly gone with her & doubt Ko Ja Yun has reached out / searched for her, cause they family. bet it's cause unlike Ko Ja Yun, her sister doesn't need to get medicated on the monthly for her brain not to combust. like i said, a lot of plot-holes not explained / left open, so i unlike others am looking forward to the next part, just to get answers.
like mentioned above this a slow burn, but it's well acted & when the action came it was remarkable, heck IMHO even better then the 1st part - showing that the twin was stronger then her sister. so i for one think this was great & will happily recommend + can't wait for the next part.
side note: everyone going on & on about Lee Jong Suk, he almost didn't have any screen time. maybe in part 3?!?....

too short
i get this a short film - but u blink and this is over - so really donno how i feel, after watching this. how can u judge and come to any conclusions from 7min's (if that) of film?!?u get a rough idea of what is going on, but how can u judge the motivation behind their words an actions?!? is Jung Soo really the bad-guy (a load of commenters r calling him) we forgetting he's gay and probably in the closet - deep in the closet(?) so maybe his indecisiveness and breaking up with Ho Bin, didn't steam from him not loving him, or being a player. but by his inability to live out in the open as a gay. this Korea we talking about, it's not just the public's reaction but the parents, family and friends and as far as i know, it's not(!) that easy to live 'out and proud' in Korea.
so looking at this, with that in mind - i saw desperation in his actions, yeah he manipulated the situation even forced Ho Bin to admit that even though he's saying "no", he really isn't over Jung Soo or their relationship. not mature way to deal with the situation, but when the heart is concerned r any of us capable of acting rationally?!? here we go back to ex's (that we Know r bad for us) knowing they playing us, and nothing good with come out of resuming the relationship - just cause our heart can't "stand strong" against them coming back for a second or third chance.
so this was interesting, but left undecided as to what i feel about this film as a whole. thinking positively, i hope that this time around Jung Soo has decided that he will stand tall and fight not only for Ho Bin to take him back - but for them to make it as a couple and live out and proud.
considering in life nothing is definite - Jung Soo could get cold feet and after a while again (cause of pressure from his family) break-up with Ho Bin to be with a woman. and the only way Ho Bin could have a relationship with Jung Soo was if it was a secret. not unheard off.
so this leaves a lot of food for though, let alone avenues to how this could develop. but as it's left to our imagination - i feel let down by how little we get to "chew on" and that's why it only got 3.5 stars.
