A Rare and Sweet Glimpse of Gay South Korea

Although it's not illegal to be a gay man in South Korea, it is frowned upon and I have found outright expression of gay feelings to be quite rare in the vast catalogue that is the current wave of K-dramas; finding instances where one of these extraordinary K-pop singer/actors might expose his chest is a tough one, more's the pity. They are nearly all as fit as a butcher's dog. So it is refreshing to find this little vignette openly telling a lovely, if somewhat lumpy little gay love story.
The story is simplicity itself: boy musician falls in love with another boy musician and the outcome is inevitable. The acting is a bit forced at times, but one can forgive these lovely guys, just because they are so much eye candy.
No Oscars here, but cuteness abounds; enjoy it for the sake of it.

score 6/10
