I say this movie was a pretty solid movie. The beginning was a little slow and I could ask for more scenes of Sangyi & Insu together, but overall it was a really solid movie.
They were a cute little meet-cute situation. Where Insu was a great singer-songwriter, Sangyi had a great talent for harmonizing with him.
Acting was a little unnatural at times, but I personally found it tolerable.
But this is the kind of queer love story I've been waiting for my entire life. As someone who is both Asian (hmong) and a lesbian, I think all my life I've been waiting for just cheesy romance movies with people who like the same sex, just like me.
This movie may not have been absolutely phenomenal, but it's enough of a good movie that it feels good.
I appreciate that they didn't have to add in homophobia as a plot point because honestly, as someone who is homosexual, I think I'm tired of having our media consumed in homophobia, where its all gloom and doom.
Overall, if you're in the mood for a cute, cheesy love story that just happens to be between 2 men, this is the movie for you. Nothing ground breaking, but just a really nice story about how 2 people fell in love through music. Simple, but very important representation for the future of LGBTQ+ representation.
And goddamnit, I've waited my life for these movies where queer people can just be people and fall in love. Representation is getting better and better as the years pass by, hopefully one day I don't have to be back to beg for more queer media.
