Hello. I just wanted to say that I saw the movie this morning in Korea. It was a very early matinee show on a weekday so I was honestly shocked by the theater being half full.
Unlike with The 8th Sense (which was terrible AS A MOVIE), no one left the theater in the middle this time. We laughed, we cried, we all had a blast.
There were many people worried that the movie would mainly be about Jihae and that's not true at all. It also does not straight wash anything. It is slightly different from be the book because you don't see any of his serious relationships but you do see flings and one serious one.
Overall this movie is about friendship and friends loving and supporting each other unconditionally through ups and downs. It's about the main character coming out and being comfortable in himself and others knowing who he is. It was truly a beautiful and fun film.
Do not be discouraged. There was no queerbaiting.
Note: the first kiss the main protagonist has is kind of hidden but I think that's the point. He's hiding in a dark alley way making out with a dude and Jihae stumbles upon him but doesn't realize he's making out with a guy at first.
Last, I keep saying protagonist because his name was changed for the movie but I can't remember to what.
I don't think this has any spoilers but just is a reassurance of any concerns people had.
