I don't know what to write. I don't even know how to rate this movie yet.

Choi Tae Joon's acting was incredible! Moon Ga Young was good too, but playing a cute girl who likes someone isn't that hard. However, I'm not impressed by Kim Shi Hoo at all. I get that his role was a shy and quiet boy, but shouldn't he have been a little (lot) more disturbed by that job he was offered? Not talking about taking it and bringing it further...

I can't really say if this movie is a one-sided BL, bromance or obsession. But it's clear that Se Joon [spoiler]isn't mentally stable[/spoiler]. Bullying could be common (though that's not normal, either), but _really_ thinking and believing that [spoiler]drugging girls then taking them to some middle-aged man who'll rape them is "not doing anything wrong"... _then_ raping and (accidentally) killing a girl who's interested in your friend/crush(?)[/spoiler]... Oh, boy.
And [spoiler]turning himself in[/spoiler] at the end was unexpectable. But seriously. How he treated everyone around him before, how he had no problems with [spoiler]helping people do illegal things, how he bullied, punched people and smashed their phones (_or_ his own)[/spoiler], how he reacted every time he saw Yoon Jae and Eun Young getting closer to each other... There's no way he would've had the guts and _especially_ the guilt in him to [spoiler]turn himself in to the police[/spoiler].

The other thing I wasn't so thrilled about was Yoon Jae's behaviour. He seemed like a decent student. A little shy, but that's fine. Taking a bit risky job [spoiler]seducing girls[/spoiler] to have money for your mother's hospital bills - okay. Becoming friends with a [spoiler]passive-aggressive bully[/spoiler] who's only kind to you - hmmm... not a wise choice, though it may be acceptable if you can't make any other friends. But taking a job where you have to do [spoiler]illegal things like drugging someone, taking them to another place without their consent _and_ dropping them off so that a pervert old man could rape them[/spoiler]? I don't even know how guilt didn't kill him slowly from the inside. It was obviously shown that Yoon Jae had moral problems with it, yet just because it offered 10 times more money than a regular job, it was okay for him to [spoiler]ruin stranger girls' lives[/spoiler]? [spoiler]And I thought at the beginning that he was a good guy...[/spoiler] Ha.

The ending was a bit rushed, or I don't know. They jump to the time where [spoiler]Se Joon is already in prison[/spoiler], and when the boys finally talk again, neither of them can say what's truly on their mind. [spoiler](Yoon Jae about liking Eun Yeong and maybe about Se Joon being a psychopath, and Se Joon about liking(?) Yoon Jae or at least being jealous of everyone who dares to talk to him.)[/spoiler]

I'll give this a 7. Although it kept me on edge, especially at the last 20 minutes, some parts still needed a little more explanation or deepening. I know how Koreans still are regarding the LGBT+ themes, so this movie is not a bad attempt from them, but I missed a _clear_ sign from the creators that this was intended to be a BL or not. (I mean, it's like 98% clear for me, but I still need that 2%.)
