I'll try to put my bias aside when I review this movie. Cause I really adore some of the actors, especially Bright & Win. So here it is...
Postive sides:
- This Movie looks cinematic
- Give us an extra perspective and inner thoughts of the main character
- I kinda like the narrative takes
- Would be a good try for people that haven't watch the series
- New extended storyline + Sarawatine moment that we always need it
Negative takes:
- The story phase went too fast
- The Jumpcut between scenes felt weird
- The transition was so bad
- The sudden "new" characters appear were not good at all, as this movie barely introduce them. But you already know them if you watched the series tho.
Personal Opinion:
Actually, I don't mind if they still want to use the same storyline as the series (even though I really want the different style that stands out more than the series), cause for sure they could've done it better. Simply they could just remake it so we could see the improvised version since I believe they all aware of the plus - minus that the series had instead of using the same clips from the series that we watched for this movie. The narrative option can't even save that.
Tbh, I still recommend to everyone who loves the series to watch this movie. Especially if you're a die hard fan or a stan of the series. Just low your expectation cause this is just another way of them milking the content to create money since the show was and probably still one of the biggest BL series ever.
