A night that should never have been made! What a waste of potential and plot for this movie. Major spoilers ahead - I'm going to reveal the whole ended, if you can call it that. The premise of this was the story of the main guy who defected to South Korea from North Korea; now about two years later he is in a good relationship with his boyfriend. Then one day his ex-boyfriend shows up. This could have been an interesting and unique story, but it wasn't it. Much of the film had odd cuts in it, there wasn't a lot of dialogue, mostly them sitting there looking at each other or staring off into space and nothing was really explained. The main guy had a lot of anger toward his ex, but it was never really explained why. Then there was some odd stuff that doesn't make any sense, for example one night the ex breaks into the couple's apartment and is caught and the next scene he is living with them. The 'ending' and I'm not sure it was an ending; the main guy kisses his ex, the boyfriend sees this and has a breakdown, on the verge of self-harm. Main guy goes to him and he is assaulted by someone he crossed earlier in the movie and is knocked to the ground. The screen goes black. When it comes back, it shows the ex practicing his language skills, and that's it! You don't know what happens to the main guy or his boyfriend, you know - the main stars of the movie! What an absolute waste of time this whole production turned out to be!
