The story started a little too slow. I had many questions in the beginning, as the characters and the mise-en-scene of some flashbacks were not fully explained. The director definitely kept us in the dark for too long. But after my questions found answers - somewhere half way during the movie - I started to feel more empathy for the characters. I LOVED the acting; Yonca's acting especially! And what I LOVED the most about this film is the portray of the location i.e. How the residents live, walk, talk and behave. Using real residents from this deprived area really gave this film a magic touch.

Great job director!

The social culture of South Korea back then, together with the physical attractiveness of the players and their chemistry made this movie very deep, emotional and erotic at the same time. Loved the set design, the costumes, the music, the lights, and the dialogue. And the ending is exactly what I needed. As I was watching it, I wondered what would've happened to them later in life, and there it was...

This is my new favorite gay movie.

There were some unneccassary scenes in the film causing it to be horrendously long. After reading some of the other reviews I can understand the class division, but that's only after reading the reviews. Most of what is told in this film is not easy to understand for a non-Brazilian. That makes me wonder: is a film considered "successful" if a 'leek' does not understand it? My answer would be 'no'.

And personally, I don't like gaps c.q. unanswered parts in films. This film has quite a bit of gaps in it.
