Synopsis:

                                 *Warning Spoilers*

Ki-tae is going to terminate his military service. Joon-yeong his senior is driving to their military camp with Ki-tae on his way back to the camp after his last vacation. There is a kind of silence between them. When they get to a supermarket just in front of the camp, Ki-tae put a sleeping pill into Joon-yeong coffee.Ki-tae goes South taking Jun-young along with him. After a while, Jun-young wakes up and a secret is discovered. Ki-tae is anxious to get Jun-young’s mind back. However, the sight of harsh reality doesn’t allow him to do it.

My Review:

The entire plot runs on just two characters and the screenplay is just so perfect. The two were once lovers during the military, but Joon-yeong has returned to normal life and has a girlfriend. Ki-tae, obviously, isn't very happy. He tries to reason out why Joon-yeong doesn't want to be with him anymore. The end did leave a mark. With Gi-Tae dancing while Jun heads back home. While Joon-yeong may live a heterosexual life, Ki-tae is determined to dance through his. Wow man isn’t that depressing. Excellent acting I would say.

My Rating: 7/10

It’s a nice film with lot of pain of homosexual love and acceptance. Just watch it and see.
