Boy Meets Boy

Summary

Gay Film. Run time: 14:11 minutes.

Boy Meets Boy is based on the meeting and relationship of two boys, Min-soo (Kim Hye-sung) and Seok-i (Lee Hyun-jin). Instead of dialogue, the film portrays the relationship between the two boys using body language and facial expressions.

My Comments

I think the silence of the film gives a cute touch since you pay more attention to the nervousness and happiness you see in their body language rather than depending on the dialogue. Even though it was silent, the director still did a good job of letting you know what was going on.
The only thing I didn't like about this film was the song. You'll know what I mean when you watch it.

My Comments

I think film is very well done and is one of my favourite gay films. In just 21 minutes, it shows how prejudice can make the male leads life difficult in more ways than one. If you like this film you should check out the gay film Just Friends which was filmed by the same director.

Summary

Gay film rated 18+ in Korea (but no nudity) Duration: 28:51

Min-soo is on leave from the military and visits his boyfriend Seok-yi. 

While having fun out on the town, they run into Min-soo mother. When the Min-soo's mother asks how they know each other (unaware of their homosexuality), Min-soo replies "... just friends." 

Making things more complicated, Min-soo's mother ends up sleeping between them that night! 

My Comments

This movie wins the awards for best kissing scene in Korean film history!

Aghh this movie is cute! The director of the film said he wanted to make a "real gay film of 99.9% purity" and he did a wonderful job. It's an excellent portrayal of how difficult it would be to be closeted gay especially in a country like South Korea where homosexuality is more frowned upon. The couple have perfect chemistry and the ending ...... <3
