Review
I thought that this movie is a documentary that reflects a real story that really exist in Korea. The concept is plain and unique. It really shows an unconventional film that we don't actually see on mainstream movies.
The movie has two separate stories. The first one, entitled Night Bug showed the underground business of homosexuals, I think. This movie describes the gay nightlife of Korea. One of the characters is Han-jae. He is aggressive and ambitious; He will leave anything for money. Han-jae ignored Hoon's special feeling for him because of money, although he treats his friend very well. At the end of the day, regrets came out. The first part of the movie is a bit boring for me because its a bit dark and discreet, but it has a value.
The second part of the movie was entitled "One Night". I think this part is better than the first one. The scenes executed more interesting and lively. It reminds me a story of girls who wants to win a pretty guy first. The characters are well-selected for their roles. They seemed to have an easy-go-lucky attitudes. Its a good thing that Geun-ho is attractive and excited. Its a "One Night" literally. The shocking part is conventional. In real life, most aged gay people today has their own family. They're trying to hide it to them unless they get caught. The sad truth is, they are jailed in their own.
Both parts of the movie has a simple plot. I think the directors purely wants to show the audience what is the real life of being a homo. It is obvious that the production struggled in dark scenes, especially the first part of the movie.
This movie is a revelation which is better. This movie intentionally shows what is reality.
