In Between Seasons

Soo Hyun and Yong Joon, the lead characters that are extremely precious

Short summary of the movie: Two guys (Soo Hyun and Yong Joon) develop a bond together until it becomes stronger. Soo Hyun gets into a car accident and Yong Joon has to endure the hardship of their loved one in a coma - with a really unpleasant mother. 

I'm not doing any sort of review that explains the whole premise and plot etc, I'm just voicing my opinions. For this, I might as well add that there might be spoilers.

Watching this movie taught me a lot of values; Patience being one of them. I think the movie was beautiful in it own way with both characters performing extremely well. It was immersive and yet, quite sad in my opinion. It's realistic and you'll develop a bond with the characters. They definitely make you feel like you're a part of them and that you're going through their journey.

The ending is open to interpretation however I genuinely enjoyed the movie overall as a new experience. Due to the circumstances that Soo Hyun gotten into a coma, there wasn't a main focus on their relationship. It does refer to their memories together before the accident, but the movie really, solely focuses on the struggles one endures when their loved one is in a coma.

So much disapproval was seen and yet, Yong Joon persevered to see Soo Hyun regardless of the rejection the mother projected. That had my heart aching and yearning for a sort of healing - a happy ending.

Soo Hyun and Yong Joon were so precious and sweet in their bond that you'll inevitably care for them. I'd recommend this movie for those who have the time to really understand what is going on and devote themselves until the end of the film. Just one look away and you might miss something important and that - for a slow-paced movie - is beautiful. They do not allow you to look away. 

In that time,you will learn to understand the state of loss and the difficulties of having a loved one in a coma. Even a wrinkle in the blanket can hurt them. This movie is a touching experience which teaches you a lot about the endurance of loss, rejection and love. An 8/10 for those who can endure heartbreak. (And no,Soo Hyun isn't comatose for the entirety of the movie. It is for a large fraction of time, but not entirely.)
