Just Friends? <친구 사이?> 2009

Directed by: Jim-Jho Kwang-soo / 김조광수
Release date: December 2009

Seok-i (Lee Je-hoon) goes to meet his lover, Min-soo (Yeon Woo-jin), at the military camp in the country where Min-soo is completing his army service. This reunion for the gay lovers turns suddenly awkward when Min-soo’s mother (Lee Seon-joo) arrives to visit him, too.

An interesting short, nicely paced, well-acted, and engaging. The film poses some intriguing questions about the problems that can ensue when gays come out of the closet. The song and dance numbers were a lot of fun, too. My take: CCC
Strangers on a bus (Lee Je-hoon and Lee Chae-eun) show each
other the gifts they are taking to their “lovers” both of whom will
turn out to be men doing their army service at the same camp.
