An stunning, incredibly well acted film with a deceptively simple premise, but devil is in the detail and it is heartwrenching. There are two films, actually - reactions vary based on how you approach it: one pegged in a limited category (as I learned later) OR an intense drama. As someone mentioned, it feels more like an indie film or a Shakespeare play. It felt like a short story adaptation. If you came here based on the genre alone and are looking for BL, hot homosexual sex scenes, etc. you'll be disappointed. If you want an intense drama about relationship powerplay and pitfalls of obsessive behavior - give it a chance. I am disappointed that it did not get the types of awards and recognition it deserved on a bigger scale, though later learned that the young lead won new best actor in two festivals and was nominated for same in two others. This film, to some, feels a bit incomplete as if walking into someone's life. I don't disagree completely, but that was part of its intensity as captures a pivotal 'chapter' in each character's 'life book' describing a confluence of events as the two lives collide, initial appearances are not as they first seem and three not just two lives change. It is more like a play or a short story that punches in the gut. The casting imho (real one) is flawless - one actor is a well established (loved his work for years) while the other, just beginning. The young actor has a great future ahead of him. His performance is riveting, vulnerable, chamelion-like and powerful. To those focused/attracted to the film just because of same genders (yes, that aspect is a bigger deal in South Korea), you may be missing the bigger picture as did hyper-focused critics. If same gender attraction is treated just as supporting plot device it's a completely different movie. That is what I watched. The girlfriend/wife (a much more significant character than first appears) is a 'buffer' to her partner's career, his method acting taken to extreme without any thought of its impact on her. His acclaimed reputation is what sets him apart from others, he's consumed by it - it's like an addictive drug, the foundation of his illustrious career, his self perception as everything in his life/relationships revolves around it. She provides greatest insight into what his character is all about. I've watched it twice before it hit me, an epiphany. Re-watched it many times since. It got mixed reviews and flippantly berated by critics who solely treated it as a "Queer" genre film and found it lacking. They can pound sand. (Sadly, Amazon Prime has it classified as such too. Incidentally, I'm on my mid 50's, have many gay friends and they all despise that label.) It is unfortunate that this film was boxed in and judged/targeted by a limited audience, and critics covering that genre. It is a disservice. In S. Korea homosexuality is still a taboo subject. Film was mis-marketed. If treated as a regular drama (I did) it completely changes this work's perception. I rated it and reviewed it as such - thankfully watched it not knowing its genre, just looking for more films by 'Walter' actor Park Soon Woong. [Example - Broke Back Mountain wasn't marketed in the West as a 'queer' art house film but a drama that happens to be about life-long love, just between two men] [STOP HERE/SPOILER ALERT - the rest is meant for those who have seen it or are coming back to watch again or are interested in another viewer's reaction with deeper dive. I found myself thinking about it many times after first run and came back multiple times. Brief description does not do it justice nor is it a 'gay' film. Sexuality is just one of methods to drive the plot. _____________________________________ Here I go: The premise is that a highly regarded method actor, at the top of his game is a force to be reckoned. He is reluctantly cast in an intense two-man tragedy play written by his friend along with a rebellious bored bad-boy K-Pop Idol with no stage experience, mostly for publicity. (As with cliche troublemaking kid in a class, he turns out to be talented, sensitive and smart, just acting out because of boredom and feeling trapped by his shallow Idol restraints). The haughty stage star, known and greatly admired for dedication/strength/talent/complete character submersion from each play's start to finish, is put up on a pedestal by critics and directors. His adoring fragile sensitive artist girlfriend endures his 'play absences' as a part of the man she loves. We do not, at first, realize the extreme extent to which she's suffered from his 'craft' as he is unable to set boundaries even for a "method actor" standard (example - Daniel Day Lewis is known for staying in character for his roles and most recently, Jared Leto as The Joker). We learn about the special self-portrait sculpture/lantern at the entrance of their home which he touches on entry, re-connecting with his real life. It is her self-portrait she agreed to sell at her exhibit when they met only if she was part of that deal, i.e. she came to him giving all of herself. The listless Idol initially disrespectfully approaches this project as another forced activity (key point - show of respect to elders is deeply ingrained in SoKo culture making his behavior unacceptable and he, an even bigger prick) until he is shaken to the core at a script reading, his shell cracked and he is mesmerised, emotionally overcome by forceful acting of the seasoned actor. That incident snaps him out of the rut. He finds something he wants to understand and learn, unsure why but completely open to the experience as 'Singer'. The elder actor, at first dismissive as he begins his descent into 'Walter', finds himself drawn to the unexpectedly smart and eager protege boy whose innocence and dedication are genuine, disarming and beguiling. The wife's initial weary reaction to the Idol (when they meet, shop for props and especially after brief impromptu rehearsal help with him alone in their home) seems a bit extreme and paranoid at first. It may be mistaken for her attraction to him. Instead, it is fear and jealousy as she senses the boy's innocently intoxicating appeal. Both (straight) actors find themselves in uncharted territory as they bond over roles. The acclaimed actor reminds the boy about importance of holding on to a character between rehearsals as the feeling may slip away by the next day. It is overwhelming for 'Singer' who is swept up in his new acting experience, becomes his character and elder who is unnerved by his attraction to the boy who shows himself more daring, brave and comfortable than his arrogant Hyung ('big brother/senior) in the process (as we see in their poster photoshoot where the boy offers more daring pose arrangements and erotic skinship). There is a power shift for unnerved actor. The girlfriend is cruelly emotionally shut out, as she has been with her partner's past roles. Powerless, she watches helplessly from the side and tries to insert herself into the rehearsals as a more active observer. Things happen between two men outside rehearsals (of all places, in her storage art studio) and underscores a broader sense of confusion, intoxicating attraction/love than discovery of homosexuality. The Idol says that he is straight, just likes him and is completely unguarded and open to new experience. It is also one of the most sensual scenes, with the Idol at his most vulnerable where characters and reality blur. The actor's and his partner's past problems are exposed as she finally explodes at the seaside where we learn that it is his 'go to' getaway spot she knows all too well from ptevious plays. She knows him, his patterns, his habits and flaws. [For me that was a moment of epiphany and why I feel that same-sex set up is more like a crowbar that pops the lid off the elder actor's greatest flaw - his arrogance as the fearless celebrated stage star, his narcissism, rather than real BL situation]. They are discovered because young star happily posts photos of their quick trip on social media. At the beach, as she unloads on the elder for the first time, he realizes that while he's emotionally vested in the unusual boy (confirmed to her horror by absence of normal detailed character notes in his notebook), he is feeling guilt. He tells "Singer' early on, that neither will be their characters for ever. Yet, until the beach confrontation he does not consider that his craft comes at a great cost to those around him - perhaps his real life is an act while his long stage work is the real he, someone without an identity of his own. He's forced to decide what is real. Pre-performance interview's Q&A is focused on allegations of scandalous behavior. After total dismissal, the boy is reeling from rejection and the elder actor is escorted out by his wife. The play already seeped into real life and two run in parallel. Idol, crushed by post-beach fiasco, symbolically "kills" the wife (as "Singer" character in the play kills 'Walter's lover) by breaking her precious self-portrait sculpture at the actor's home. When he goes on, he is now the angry and distant, not acting, heartbroken and playing out his real grief on stage foregoing safety props. As he steps on stage he tells his mentor that he is now Singer. The once-grand actor isn't acting either, terrified by realisation that the heartbroken boy has been to his house to retrieve his notes, fears extent to which play plot translated to his home life and breaks character. He is completely under "Singer's" control. As the play ends, young man discards his relationship/love as symbolized by a once precious prop he leaves behind. The veteran actor is left gutted, humbled by his cowardice, unresolved feelings for the boy (who's lost respect and is disillusioned by the fraud he grew to love) and humbly returns back the woman who still loves him in spite of his deep flaws because she's all he has left. While his new love for the boy was real (i.e. empty character study notebook), he is only left one choice in the end. He returns humbled by the devoted woman whom he took for granted as her world revolved around his needs/wants. She found her voice/backbone at the beach, but stillals accepts him back. Of the two men, it is the bright Idol actor who turns out to be stronger and more fearless. Unlike the elder, he carries less 'adult' practical matters luggage and was willing to risk losing everything for his love. His greatest acting is not on stage, but as he leaves - escorted out pained and numb, yet smiling for the cameras with his devastation clear once he's in the shelter of the van. [For those unfamiliar with S. Korea's entertainment industry K-pop Idol's career may be destroyed simply by dating or unconfirmed rumors, as fans and netizens turn vicious overnight. Actors have it a bit easier but not by much. That is why the boy's willingness to sacrifice all was so brave].

If you are familiar with the Stanislavsky Method School of Acting, you will recognize the meaning of the title of this movie. The great Korean actor, Park Seung-won, stars as the veteran actor opposite a young idol star who is trying to break into the world of live theater after a very successful career as a K-pop idol singer. The two star in a hyper-modern play about a love triangle gone wrong which has both actors exploring the depths of method acting in their real life as they become intensely involved in the script of the play they are starring in. The plot and the film-noir almost French New Wave quality of the cinematography are very compelling to this viewer. The actors are absolutely superb!! Kudos to Korean drama from this viewer!

SPOILERS AHEAD. This is an odd film that really takes full advantage of the concept of "method actor." The premise is extremely unbelievable: a popular actor (about 40) has been cast with a young male pop idol in a two-character play called "Unchained." It is a disturbing drama about two men who (I guess) are in love each other, but it's a tortured love. There are chains, blindfolds, blood and nooses. But before we get to their "opening night," we must go through some strange courting phase, where the older one (who is either married to or just living with a young woman who looks more like she's still in high school) develops feelings for the idol, who also develops feelings for the older actor. The film wants to have it both ways: Yes, they have feelings for each other, but, when pressed by the older actor, the idol says he isn't gay (give me a break; he's a screaming queen); he just "likes" him. This leads them to one beautiful hot kissing scene. It almost feels believable. But the young woman keeps popping up as if she knows where they're always going to be, "reminding" the actor that he's "still in a relationship." I'm sorry, but under most circumstances, he'd be in jail, since the girl looks like she's about 17, made up to be "older." The idol only looks marginally older. When the idol learns that the actor was just "kissing him for the role," he goes through a dramatic change. How that change plays out, you'll have to wait until the last 10 minutes of the film to see. I will say, when it gets to this section, it's riveting. But it spends an inordinate amount of time wandering, creating implausible scenarios and making sure there are hysterical screaming scenes so we can see the actors really "working hard." The story, despite its flaws, actually has the seeds of something truly interesting. It's shot well, the two leads seemed to have some chemistry (the poor young woman, although attractive, had absolutely zero chemistry with the older actor, but that might be by design), but I simply can't imagine that this kind of gay-heavy play would go up in Korea, where this is based. If you watch it, you have to be really patient for about 70 minutes. Also, in the midst of it, the idol "sings" a song and "plays" a guitar. Like most "idol" singers, he's very cute in a feminine way, but as far as singing and guitar playing... I'm not seeing anything that would make me want to sign him up. All in all, extremely unusual.

I did not think much when beginning this movie. I had hoped it would be entertaining and I got way more than I expected. Actors typically get into their role and are able to 'separate' work from home. The actors acting actors is particularly interesting to see as it shows the depth many people delve into as they become their character. As the movie progresses, you can see the actors portraying the actual character then the character's roles for the play. During the last scenes, the two main actors did astounding. The two of them created an illusion to reality that was amazing to watch. In other movies of actors acting as actors, I feel as though some actors, who are to play characters who are under the illusion they are in actual reality, do not portray what these 2 men had. I would recommend this movie to anyone that does not mind reading subtitles and BL :D

There are many self-referential plays and movies where it "gets real" for the actors, in fact it's a trope. You know, the set of a horror movie where the actors start to disappear. Or the set of a historical drama where the actors get thrown back in time. Drama likes nothing more than drama about itself, the ultimate vanity. And here we are, a film about making a play. My expectations were in the low to moderate range. I was hoping to be entertained while this film rode those tropes like a train rides rails. But instead of falling into that pattern in some simple way, it used it as a vehicle, each actor on their own journey and collision course. Even the trope of the leading man falling for his leading lady gets spun on its head and used to great effect. I was totally enthralled. I swallowed the tropes hook, line and sinker. These things aren't tropes because they've been done over and over. They're tropes despite that! They're tropes because, when used well, they are reliable vehicles for awesome drama. It takes a gutsy scriptwriter and director to execute something like this, and a cast that's willing to follow them to hell. Done.

I am not a movie critique in the least, i cant talk about technique or anything in that sense, all i can say of this movie is wow, just wow. This movie started and did an excellent job of building with no lapse or dragging in the entire movie, it build so perfect right to the culmination at the end. It did not give you a chance to guess what would happen, because as soon as you did something else grabbed you by surprise.It was perfect, a drama in every sense of the word. It was once of the best movies i have watched in a long time, The directing, the plot, the characters and character development, the actor and the acting, Everything was just a beautiful perfect mesh to this in my opinion masterpiece. A Must watch!

This Korean film is certainly one of the best I have ever seen. The story is amazing and acted with such passion! The director is very skilled and must be very experienced. Oh Seung-hoon who plays Young-Woo/Singer won awards for his performance in the film. A wonderful romance full of suspense with a masterful blurring of theatrical drama and intense reality. The musical score is outstanding and complements the film beautifully. This very Shakespearean movie(or work of theater depending on your point of view) received a number of exemplary reviews on Amazon. Some people commented that they did not think it could be as good as the reviews suggested but were surprised. You might be too!
