The actors, the team and myself are very happy about all these views and kind comments, thanks people!~~ It gives us strength to continue to make films like this in Korea~~

[@Black_Heart71]

You all did a great job. I can´t count anymore how often I´ve watched this film. I just love it. Really. ♥ Maybe we get part 2 and so we can see *Hobin* and *Jungsoo* as lucky couple. I need to know that Hobin now has found his love back ... ♥♥♥

[@user-yz6wb7wb1g]

Bravo~

Please keep up the good work, the community needs creators like you guys. Thank you so much. God bless and lots of love from India. 💕

Woww! Brilliant

[@Nikkizucchini]

Their nights will be not so cold anymore

[@anitasaha8119]

True 😊

[@JustARandomFio]

Really well done, bravo. Nice, simple but realistic plot and the guys are lovely and acting very natural. Liked the kissing and hugging scene, so natural and real, more the "manly", "dude-ish" way, how it usually happens between two guys, very realistic and beautiful. No stereotypes, no clichés, no awkwardness as in many Asian BL/gay productions. Jungsoo looks and acts a bit like a "bad guy", a player, so i didn't really trust him at first, but after that hugging scene I changed my mind. Great job.

[@duboisalome]

Thanks you for your detailed comment! I showed it and translated it to the actors ^^ It was the first time for them, and for myself, doing that subject, so we are glad it looks natural... Anyway, thanks again! ^^

[@JustARandomFio]

You're welcome, Salomé. Honest opinion, really good job, the plot, the making and the acting, too. Il était une fois recommended your short during an exchange of views regarding Asian BL productions and asked for an opinion as a gay guy. And yes, it portrays the reality, so, again, bravo, great job. Greetings from Italy.

[@elris452]

Just Fio i agree with everything you said!! this short film is so good. the actors, the plot, everything. very very good job❣️

[@chantalalexander]

I still don't trust Jungsoo. From what I've seen, especially all the ways he used the watch to lure Hobin to him when he's trying to move on, and based on Hobin's words, Jungsoo is very manipulative and on the selfish side. He always has to orchestrate things to get it his way, and that's a lopsided and unfair relationship for Hobin. This definitely is a great piece of art though.

[@baes2034]

I need to see more of this coming from Korea. :)

[@yavaysiaclark6010]

I'm with you

[@ShatteredSlowly]

What a beautifully made film! The situation unfolded naturally and the tension between the two seemed raw and organic; it did not feel forced or overly directed. The natural light and winter atmosphere were also a nice touch. Just beautiful, plain and simple!

[@duboisalome]

Thank you so much for your review!

[@keco2nd]

This is so awesome! I’m very happy with this film cause it’s made in South Korea. Strangely, it’s very rare that LGBT films come from South Korea compared with other cultural contents such as so many kinds of kpop, tv series, dance and movies storytelling heterosexual romance made in SK. I hope this short film could stimulate Korean film industry.

[@duboisalome]

Thank you!~~ Yes, we believe we can open minds through the magic of cinema!~

[@lalalili6576]

keco2nd i really really hope that will came true

[@chantalalexander]

I love this, beautifully simple, unnervingly realistic, which is why I don't love, but truly do understand the happy(?) ending. I think this relationship is unfair to Hobin, who based on their relationship history, seldom gets what he wants out of it. Jungsoo seems very manipulative. He let Hobin go and left him hanging alone, suffering in agony for months on end, while he enjoyed someone else's company and the luxury of "time to think." Then because he felt like it, he decided Hobin can't move on with out him, and orchestrated events (using to watch multiple times to lure him back, refusing to let go, making him come out to a place with significant emotional pull for both of them, etc.) to get it his way. As Hobin puts it; "You're lucky, everything goes the way you wanted." And though you can't help who you love (which is why is can your strength and/or weakness), Hobin inevitably will have some questions (some he already started asking) on the other side of this "happy ending."

[@duboisalome]

Thank you for your analysis of my film and characters ♥ Indeed, love makes us out of control sometimes... ☺

[@thatcringygirl]

omg exactly! I feel a bit sad for Hobin being manipulated like this. However, I'd love to get to know their story more!

[@singularityvk222]

😭 It's heartwarming I swear if this was Chinese one of the characters at the end would have ended up freezing up and then bam end of story

[@ryukikurnia]

Haha,thats so true

[@haslindahassan2215]

🤣🤣🤣 True!

[@eugenefrankmd5433]

Or he would suicide with the other guy's knife

[@miguelamaya6246]

The man asking for the watch is beautiful... I'm so in LOVE with him...

[@hellobye8405]

ME TOO OMG!!

[@lissav8111]

Shows how good the writers directors and actors are that they can make the viewers totally understand everything that has happened in just 8 minutes! Bravo!

[@dextertanedo]

There is a sense of authenticity on the actions and reactions of the actors as they play their part plus a great cinematography and editing created a mood of a couple getting back together. Kudos also for the writer for such a charming script!

[@infiresislife3255]

It's a beautiful short movie with a happy ending given SK's record of churning out sad ending movies tho I know why.... But this one was a good one😘

[@chantalalexander]

Depending on how you look at it, this could still be considered a sad ending.

[@morningsminion3242]

Love that the older character just would NOT let go and held on for dear life while the younger guy was able to express and release his anger...then all the love came back in like a flood.

[@exneval]

Beautifully made, I really like how jungsoo tricked Hobin about the watch , well done, thank you for the movie

[@duboisalome]

Thanks a lot! :D

[@dee625]

I found this during quarantine and it made me smile, I cannot go outside but I could watch random things on KZbin. thanks for making my day little bit better

[@jjmatt9068]

Does this only have 1 episode?

[@dee625]

@@jjmatt9068 yes from what I know it's just this. One shot film

[@carolineannalalonde]

Love this short film. The actors were great. It really felt natural and realistic. It also has a bit of humour. Even though you only see them in this one scene the actors really were able to show the love they had for each other. Hobin reaction when he thought he threw the watch away pulled at my heart. This was filmed three years ago when BL was not popular in Korea. Congrats to the whole team for having the courage to put a film like this out there. I hope you are able to make more projects in the future!!

[@duboisalome]

Thank you so much for appreciating it! We had sound problems ob the shoot and no money to do post production, so we couldn't send the film to festivals, but we are happy the movie is loved and understood by you guys online~

[@piawesome302]

[@Nitha732]

i blv koreans n taiwanese produce one of the best bls... i just love everything about it...the emotions expressed, the chemistry, cinematography, the intensity, story, powerful, imaginative,insightful n keeps u hooked...

[@rollercoasterride1565]

I've watched this so many times during these four years and it gets to me every time. It's short but so well made.

[@lucagrows99]

Beautiful cinematography, so very well done and meaningful. Even so short the acting too was impeccable and moving, I really felt it. Thank you

[@b.erisblackexo-l1503]

It might have been a short film but it captured everything, from the angst to the heartbreak to the love and the reconciliation. I love it. Thank you for this masterpiece.

[@franklee5099]

Good story... People are all the same around the world... We love and want to be loved and are often confused at the same time or don't want our weakness used against us. Thanks I love this work.

[@spring488]

It's true a kiss can melt anger😊

[@SisterUnity]

In such a very short length, a very well told complex moment.

[@Love-et1zt]

Korea is best in making bl, their acting, story everything is perfect, I just wish they start making more of these🙂🙂

[@duboisalome]

Thank you but I am the director and I am FRENCH ^^ Aha but I am enjoying filming in Korea with Korean actors, yes, they are very good.

[@Love-et1zt]

@@duboisalome then I must say french directors are good too 😊. very good luck to you for your future projects. If someday you decide to work on bigger projects, please give a look to korean novel love or lust, I liked it very much😊. I liked a lot of chinese novels but china made it into series and ruined it ☹️. I think if anyone can make good bl series or movies , its korea and korean actors or korean directors and some french directors😁. when we want good bl series we dont want porn , we want good plots, dialogues, good chemistry, good acting ,some directors just don't understand ☹️I again wish you good luck 😊😊

[@pranseyeswhenlookingatpat9639]

Hé bien je suis tellement fière de mon pays hehe

[@anna.o_g]

the cinematography is beautiful!! really? Also the story is really good. the kiss at the end is really cute! I'm happy that finally even in Korea they start to portray the lgbt community

[@athenasea]

YESSSSSSSSSS. This was so cute.

[@duboisalome]

Thanks for enjoying it!~

[@aaishwaryajambhale6660]

M so happy director kept it so simple and it's always a pleasure to watch such nice plots which touches your heart forever

[@Black_Heart71]

It´s really great to watch a Korean BL-themed film with a Happy Ending. I love it. Great !!! ♥♥♥ The actors are cute, the storyline is good, I like that cold winter feeling and the end is just perfect. I need more of this stuff ♥♥♥

[@duboisalome]

Thanks a lot! Indeed, we need more LGBT movies with happy endings, to give confidence and strength to people~~ :)

Idk why but i rewatching this every day it‘s just so good!

[@leninnayak563]

Woah! It's a rollercoaster ride in this short film with all sorts of feelings involved. Wonderfully done. Thanks guys. 😍😍😍😍

[@magentusrex]

Thank you for reminding me about this film. It was just as good on the second viewing. The writing, acting, and direction are beautiful and felt real. I also love that things are changing so much that this is possible in even the most conservative countries.

[@077di6]

SK know how to make touching movies even if it's short one but sadly there isn't too much like this with happy ending

[@bt-035swagatagupta7]

this short movie was just recommended to me, have to say, it's very well made and the actors are pretty good, their show of emotions felt genuine and touching 1 thank u all for your hard work !!

[@DkzWeirdo]

This was honestly so beautifully executed - every aspect of it. Kudos to you! And thank you for this great short film.

[@lexi6693]

I just fell in love with this short film on the onset. I couldn't imagine that within a short span, all the pain and sorrow one felt can be conveyed brutally and rightfully so. This is probably one of the best short films from SK that i've seen in a long while. I hope, like the rest hoped for, was that it's longer so we can see more of their faces (if only for that, lol).

[@ariel146]

I just got into these types of shows and series and this was very well done and amazing. It made me wish it was longer but it was beautiful nonetheless and I will definitely watch it again.

[@shinpark3403]

To be honest but korean bl movie is alwys best they prfct fr acting perfct to romance all goes perfct💓💓💓💓💓❤❤❤❤

[@Fer-mt6yd]

It’s great that they had a happy ending because it would be cruel and unusual punishment to have them act out this scene on the cold snowy ground with the wind howling around them turning their poor ears red just for them not to end up together. You could see the goosebumps all along their necks and faces from how cold it was that day, so kudos for the actors and production team (or person) behind this video.

[@samandros3451]

Short, but wonderful. Well-written, directed and acted. Great to see films about mature gay men dealing with relationships in an emotionally authentic way.

[@duboisalome]

Thank you so much for ypur appreciation !

[@raijaynehearse]

So beautiful 🥰

[@lhianford6712]

It's so real this short film is so simple but they touch my heart because sometimes even we love a person we need to feel what's real and what needed to do like for example it's not enough if u really love a person but u don't take action to prove it him/her and we know that reality maybe dark but if u two are brave to handle any kind of situation u must need to be there to each other
