A Waste
I am failing to understand how this movie got such high ratings, and yet I found this extremely boring and the cinematography was so dark that you could hardly see anything especially when the play was starting!!!The actors were not well matched and they just seemed so confused with each other, the lady was down right annoying, to the point I just couldn't watch this anymore and just wanted it to end.
For me personally this movie was the absolute worse that i have come across!! And will not be able to watch this again, I think the thing that let me down the most was that it was dark and you couldn't see much, maybe if this was done in a drama and there was more depth to it, it might have worked.

how far can you go with method acting?
What a movie. Even days after watching it I’m still thinking about it. When I tell you my eyes were GLUED to the screen from start to finish they were. The big question was, was it really all an act, or was did real feelings cause the lines between the actor and idol to getting blurry? I think this film is interpretational and leaves you to draw your own conclusion on what was really going on. The movie wasn’t necessarily romantic but rather than implementing a romantic theme it relies more on the performance of the actors to draw you into the events. I found the movie unpredictable as to when the climax happened I was so eager to see what would happen next. Since the film was about to actors in a play, many parts of the movie felt like you were watching a movie in a movie which was really great. I get that this movie can be a little controversial given the subject matter but damn does it need more recognition!The acting is phenomenal, especially from Oh Seung Hoon. That dude needs to be in more films and the ones with the veteran actors because he’s that good! He did an amazing job as Yeong-Woo. Ngl I thought he was cast because they needed a cute guy to play an idol but damn he did not need to go that hard acting. He channeled the character so genuinely and not once did he come off as awkward or out of place. Actually, both actors were purposeful and very natural in the more intimate scenes. The kissing scenes were so sensual and felt so real. They were so convincing that you would think they were romantically involved in real life!
Personally, I think Yeon-Woo did develop feelings for his co-star as he discovered his liking for acting through the play, however, there were moments where he would tease and toy with Jaeha which makes me think that a part of his behavior was an act, but not completely. The last scene with him gave me a sense that he liked Jaeha, or did he dread returning to the repetitive and restrictive life of an idol? It was clear from the beginning of the movie that he was tired of his life, so that is maybe why he seemingly enjoyed working on the play so much. He didn’t care much for it at first but after Jaeha prompted him to get into character I think he began to feel a form of freedom and self-expression that he never felt before. So I could argue that his time spent with Jaeha didn’t awaken romantic feelings in him but ignited his newfound passion for acting. But then again those steamy kisses and overt sexual tension were hard to overlook. As for Jaeha, I think for the most part it was merely method acting, but that scene in the shed made me think he started to fall for his acting partner. In his last scene, he seemed satisfied with both his and Young-Woo’s performances and walked away with no visible sign of regret or longing. These are the reasons that I doubt that it was all just acting.
Overall this movie is just excellent all around. 9.5/10. The only reason I’m not giving this a full ten is that I’m unsure about the ending. It wasn’t bad but it left me wanting more.

... Because the passion level went from 0 to 9000 in a second...
Note to all the confused people:
This is NOT a movie about homosexuals, it is NOT YAOI and it is NOT BL.
This is a movie about two straight males who perform method acting to become closer with their roles. In other words they do things to trick their own mind into being who they portray in the play.
This will start off very innocently with a veteran actor starring in the same theater play as the idol, Young Woo who shows no interest or passion at the first few readings. I honestly don't know why it starts off like that because a few minutes in, he suddenly starts to show a lot of passion and the writers didn't do a very good job explaining the process or the reason. He just suddenly loves it which is why this movie got a 9/10.
But once you get passed that...
This movie starts off very bright and innocent with a comfortable pace that gives off kind of a dreamy feel. The writers succeeded very well in making a calm atmosphere for the viewer without using dragged out scenes or unnecessary shots. It wont leave the audience soothed for too long before it takes a dramatic and dark turn that will keep you at the edge of your seat.
The way the writers have mixed the main leads dialogues with their characters dialogues is the most genius thing I have ever experienced. It makes it difficult to tell if the person is acting as their theater persona or if they actually mean what they're saying. Because the characters themselves are not sure whether they are acting or not, reality and theater slowly sink into one another and become one world of confusion.
There will be a few kissing scenes between the two male leads but this shouldn't be something to warn about. it helps convince the viewer of the feelings involved and gives a harder impact once we near the climax so do not fear it.
I recommend this to people who like watching mind twisting and dark movies. You will definitely have to pay attention and try to understand both the actors and the characters. This is not a light watch but rather something to prepare your heart for.
ENJOY!!!

Una película que te deja en suspenso hasta el ultimo minuto... Recomendable
Primero que todo, es sumamente recomendable; la trama y desarrollo no es tan sencilla como el amor imposible y se trastorna conforme se relacionan los protagonistas, prometiendo un final inesperado. Hay puntos en la película en la que a veces los diálogos pueden confundir y cuenta con "puntos clave" en que los que los personajes realmente demuestran sus emociones y sentimientos, permitiéndonos simpatizar con ellos y comprender más a fondo su relación y el porqué de sus acciones.Cuando comencé a ver la película me resultó algo lenta o eso pensé hasta los primeros 7 minutos aprox... Desde el primer momento en que los dos protagonistas se conocen; capturan la atención de todos. Method es una película en la que no todo es color de rosa con Jaeha y su pareja de actuación, ni todo tan sombrío como el amor imposible que representa, intercalando momentos "lentos" y "rápidos" haciendo que te quedes interesado hasta el ultimo segundo para ver el desenlace... incluso cuando no hay nada relevante en la escena.
*Sobre los protagonistas - La película muestra un poco del mundo de Jaeha con su pareja y cómo cambia conforme Youngwoo va entrando a su vida y lo hace darse cuenta de sentimientos que ni el mismo comprende; deambulando entre lo correcto y lo incorrecto mientras ejerce su profesión. Mientras que Youngwoo tan joven y espontaneo, de carácter rebelde, lo confunde y hasta cierto nivel "domina". Otro punto es la forma tan suspensiva en la que deja el personaje de Youngwoo al publico al no dejar tan transparente sus intenciones, razón por la que Jaeha se encuentra muchas veces confundido.
*Sobre los actores - Aplaudo a ambos actores no solo por tener que adaptarse a los personajes dentro de la película, sino también a los personajes que iban a representar sus personajes dentro de la obra de teatro de una forma tan limpia.
*Con un muy notable nivel de producción - los últimos 20 minutos de la película deja en un atroz suspenso en la que transcurre una larga escena en la que se comparte la misma sensación de desesperación con Jaeha, quien intenta mantener su papel en la obra de teatro y lidiar al mismo tiempo con su compañero de actuación frente a todo un público.
Lo que nos lleva a un final "satisfactorio"... en mi opinión; el hecho de que Youngwoo haya dejado ir a la persona que amaba, para evitarle futuros problemas y, ademas, haberlo hecho sin dejar algún tipo de rencor o preocupación (aunque sí mucha confusión) en Jaeha, haciendo ver que todo fue parte de un "método" para capturar la esencia del personaje dentro de la obra, fue algo muy inteligente y que aun aplaudo de la película.
