Synopsis:

                                                *Warning Spoilers*

Seok-I is awaiting the arrival of his boyfriend Min-soo, who is on leave from the military. Seok-i stays back with Min-soo’s and his mother at an inn when he could not get back home due to some circumstances. Min- Soo mother is unaware of their relationship.

When Min-soo's mother leaves for church next day, they become physically intimate. Min-soo's mother returns unexpectedly early and is shocked to see their relation. Seok-i returns home and Min Soo confesses to his mother that he is gay and that he will continue to love Seok-i.

Later Seok-i is shown working at a restaurant when he is encountered by Min-soo, who is on leave again. As the two run outside, a voice-over of Min-soo's telephone conversation with his mother plays—Min-soo tells her that he will return home together with Seok-i. Then couple kisses in public.

In the end there is a clip of Min-soo and Seok-i at the visiting center. Seok-i is getting ready to begin his military service, right then there is a voice from his mother resembling the same as the starting—the two look at each other in dismay as they realize another cycle of coming out.

My Review:

I love it. This is actually those kind of videos which I regret seeing as a short film and want more. The direction, story, screenplay everything is perfect. The couple are totally adorable together(acting could have been better). You can feel the chemistry between them right away.

The ending reaction when Seok-I’s mother calls and the boys were like “Ughhhhhh not again” LOL…The acting could have been better but I don’t mind it(coz the kiss between them is really hot ,and that’s enough acting right ;) )

My Rating: 8/10

I would definitely recommend it.
