I just hope Minha wasn’t killed “he’s missing” (says the bullying girls), I hope he didn’t commit suicide (cutting his wrist “not wanting to live”). My hope for Minha was he left the area and found a place where he could be happy and be with a person who he could love and be loved like he wanted to be loved. It’s a shame that with all the deadly diseases, catastrophes, and crime, that need to be acted upon, that being gay, which involves loving another person, would even be an issue in this world.
Nope, he went s*icide
If ever there should be a sequel, I would hope the writers/producers would follow. It is really difficult to shake the emotions spurred by this short. As good a short as I have ever seen.
@@edwarddentzer9148 can you pls tell me what happened to Minha, after that night at the beach. Why did he just disappear..
@@userprvti think he killed himself.
@@HollieCopeland-hb1fl traumatic but still not gonna get over it
I felt immense pain when that one classmate expressed not caring if the boy had died or not upon going missing. I can’t even begin to comprehend how someone could go out of their way to extend so much hate towards someone they hardly even know. To someone who simply minds their own business.
I really love the symbolism of Beom getting his identity card late. It’s like he realized his self identity late in life so now he paid a hefty price-the love of his life.
Also, the smile Minha gave at the end… that was a very familiar smile. I think all of us who have gone through a similar situation would know. I felt so sad for him, at the same time, I sympathize. This world needs to do better.
people keep saying that minha killed himself though? so is the person at the end sangbeom? oh wait. maybe you’re talking about the smile at 23:10?
@sleepydreamer1651 SPOILER ALERT
I thought of the smile at 27:02, it's a poignant smile. Happy that his closeted boyfriend is thinking of a future together which includes him in it but at the same time, it seems Minha can't see himself as an adult, probably due to the dark cloud of depression, he envisages more obstacles or has reached his limit for hoping. (Hence the literal title "Peter Pan's Dream" coz Peter Pan never wanted to grow up) & he might have already made the decision to end his life (the pain) & is putting on a brave front & the trip was a goodbye trip and a good memory. The recent looking self-harm cuts on his wrists were the clues for me.
On reflection, Peter Pan also represents Saebeom too coz time came to a standstill for him since Minha went missing (or took his life); he can't fully move on and doesn't want to grow up for fear of forgetting Minha hence he didn't claim his registration ID on ti me as it represents the future he had wished they'd experience together. It's Saebeom standing at the beach at the end, reminiscing & honoring Minha 's memory by revisiting the beach like their last trip together.
Such a realistic and heartbreaking tale.
I don't wish this kind of pain on anyone.
For anyone struggling, I speak from experience when I say don't lose hope nor give up coz things do get better. Even if things don't seem better 'objectively', if you get professional help & counselling, things ultimately get better coz your perspectives & reactions change & you realise the strength & resilience you've gained are due to the whole journey. Sending you love & light.
@@zzsmile1his is beautiful ❤❤❤
indeed dude
@@zzsmile1insightful and beautiful
I am bawling my eyes out. This short film was a masterpiece. It’s gonna stay with me for a long time. My heart breaks for all the people in the world going through what Minha went through. The intolerance and cruelty of the world can be unbearable.
The movie was so meaningful and emotional. The actors' acting was also good . I couldn't stop crying. Thanks for making such a great movie 💚
As gay guy films like this are 100 times better than Fluffy BLs.
Everyone wants happy story, but so far I haven't seen any by myself so stories like this speaks to me.
EXACTLY
Literally
Actually in real life the fluffy straight love stories we see in movies and drama its rare to see
Where minha go?
@@heidi3090 he killed himself.
My heart was torn into pieces when he said that he hates being alive. The anx 😭😭😭
So he took his life???
My heart in pieces 😢
I have read so many tragic stories like this in comments. True stories. 😢😢😢
Is it so bad in Korea?I mean bullying?almost all teenage dramas highlight this. It’s too unhealthy children.
People need to be more kind n compassionate towards eo.
I think children should be taught what is love,caring,sexuality n all those hidden topics when they are very young itself. Sp Asian countries should do much better. Their against mentality should be corrected very young.
World must be made a better place for love.
상범이에게는 성장스토리. 민하에게는 처절한 이야기. 내내 자기를 긍정하려 발버둥치고 숨기만 하는 상범이를 토닥여주는 민하. 미래가 그려지지 않는 오늘. 마침표를 찍기로 한 결심. 클리셰 같은 후회를 내비치는 상범.
아프다 아파
새로운 이야기는 아니지만 여전히 답답한 것.
Having watched this movie over 2 times, every time Minha gives a beautiful smile with those cute little eyes, my heart gets heavy as what the poor lad had been suffering but still trying his hard to stay strong.
Where can I watch this full movie
@@geethaharish2563 on youtube
If I find the link again I will send it to u
Are a lot of Koreans actually this condescending towards homosexuality in high school? I hate the reality of no one having the guts to call them out because they’d be punished for it :/.
Dont gt it mself. Love and let love, the world has enough hate, dont add to it.
Korea (not the only country) has a huge bullying problem especially in schools, not just towards LGBTQ people & unfortunately, people become silent bystanders in fear that intervening will make them the bullies' new target. Corruption due to the misuse of power and money also has an impact, especially if the bullies' family has both. I've seen videos of expat teachers feeling helpless because it's a systemic issue.
Nigeria is another country where some senior bullies use the hierarchal system to abuse their power and juniors, including stealing their food provisions in boarding schools. Truly sad.
I hope we move beyond the raising awareness part and have faster results at tackling it. It doesn't take much to treat others with kindness and basic courtsey.
If you think it's just korea that's this bad you are well and truly mistaken, unfortunately
Unfortunately bullying for x reason exist in every part of the world, it has become a major issue that is still taboo to talk about it.
@zzsmile1 you are not lying about Nigeria at all
29:30 min duration and the director created such a masterpiece 🙂
더이상 누군가 동성을 사랑한다는 사실만으로 세상을 등지게하는 사회가 되지 않길
퀴어영화는 슬프고 우울한 결말을 맞는 경우가 대부분인 것 같다. 로코 퀴어영화가 많이 나올 수 있는 사회가 되었으면!
God I’m so devastated 😭😭😭 I lost it completely when he said he hates being alive 😭😭
I sobbed there, especially when i saw his cuts😭
all this time i thought the cuts are from the rocks in the sea from when he fell down, i was shocked when he said its from self harm and also that his boyfriend was talking about them like it’s nothing
I am from Pakistan. This movie is something else. I cried through all of the movie. I love how, we are deep down all same, we all want love, we all want to be accepted, yet we have these prejudices in the same species.
And how this korean movie gave me this nostalgic feeling of connecting with them, while I am watching it from another part of the world, having same hopes. It is a masterpiece indeed.
Hi I'm from Pakistan as well, feel so good to meet a Pakistani 😀💕
Umm.. hello 😅
Would you be interested in being friends?
your comments make me cry even more harder, yes we all want love. is it that much to ask?
Glad to hear
I'm also Pakistani
While we all wish the story had a storybook happy ending, it wouldn't be an honest one. In real life how many straight high school or even college romances lead to living happily ever after as a couple? It's even lower when it comes to LGBT high school and college romances. Everyone would walk away from a happy ending thinking "that was so sweet", then spend very little, if any, time thinking about the issues raised in the movie. This isn't just a love story LGBT viewers can identify with, it is likely to raise awareness among straight viewers, especially of parents of LGBT kids, who are struggling with how to deal with the situation. It might even cause kids who bully others to give thought to the lasting effects of their cruelty.
Maybe it's because I am old (over 50) and lived a little over half my life out of the closet, but while I find the ending sad, I don't see it as being final, at least not for the young man left crying on the beach. The two loved each other very much, but it didn't change the fact that one wanted to live life out and proud, while the other wasn't ready to live that way. This crushing heartbreak will most likely be the catalyst leading him to mature and re-evaluate his priorities in life. He will fall in love again, and his next relationship will benefit from his experience.
This made me tear up. ❤
Well said.
It breaks my heart how this masterpiece doesn't have enough views😢. I am thankful to the director, producer, actors and every other member who made this happen ✨💜
When he say let's break up...the pain in his eyes ..just break my heart...😔 I cried like hell ....
TEARS AREN'T STOPPING FCKK 😭
Same here😭😭😭💔
I wasn’t able to recover for a while, that bittersweet feeling to see how they both loved so much but with a tragic end.
Short but very well done. When teenagers are abused and not taken care by their society or closest adults bad things happen. The comments from their peers are heartbreaking and the scene when he runs from the bullies... really hard to watch. This should be shown in schools worldwide
😭😭my heart aches, despite the way it ended this is such a great short film. The acting great and the way it was executed as well. Im literally crying in pain for these characters.
Wow this felt like 1h30 movie not a 30 mins film wooow I loved it ♡
I’ve only ever balled my eyes out to two films “a grave of fireflies” and now this masterpiece.
What really hit me was the feeling of losing someone you really love, omg I got emotional
Where are the parents? I wish the movie had shown their perspective. I also hope that the boy did not die at the end. I hope he had the strength to move on from the horrendous atrocities he was forced to face and had compassionate, supporting parents and family. A good movie and I hope it gets more viewership.
25:06 I love how all the students just pointed and stared instead of asking Sangbeom ehy he was crying ...way to show empathy guys 🙄
That's the real world. Most of the time, no one will step in to help.
@@RyanOKaiser I know, it's sad, I've experienced this a lot, generations fucked up but we gotta live like that
Beautiful production. Would like to see it become a series.
Some say that Beom was heartless to have left his boyfriend behind to the onslaught of his bullies. I believe and understand why he didn't rush in and how it affected him afterwards. He lived a life of fear.
Minha was basically living free because he didn't see where others would be opened to accepting his lifestyle.
Generally, the story here opens pathways to conversations regarding mental health and safety within the household and in schools.
Both lived with (and got shaped by) the consequences of their actions, one exposing himself, in the better and the worse, and the other hiding himself, and onca again, in the better and the worse
They deserved an happy ending 💔
totally!! 🤍
Yes. I think that's the point of the film. Boys and girls who are being bullied constantly, it is hard to keep going, hard to see anything beyond the present. Devastating movie :'( I feel so much for them, both of them. They deserved a happy ending, like all young people who have been bullied and don't see a way out.
True
Ahh shttt spoiler hahahha
Loved the acting by both the actors.
개떡같은 비엘보다 이거보니까 이런게 영화지 싶다.
wow this gets the 2000's-2010's indie film vibes even though this was produced in 2020. The shots were really beautiful and definitely reminds me of "your name engraved herein"
I want this movie to get as popular as the kbls. As much as it broke my heart, I enjoyed the filming, the acting , the cinematography and the whole raw vibes of it ♥️
" I want to walk holding your hand.
Why do you always let go ?
I want to hold you in public and kiss you.
Why don't you ?
I want to... want to... keep going out with you.
Why is this so hard for you to accept ? "
Heart breaking.... but so real. I felt connected to the characters... the story was portrayed so naturally and beautifully in a short time.
Kudos to the actors , the director and everyone involved in the making of this masterpiece 👏 🙌. I hope this gets more recognition.
It was my third time watching the movie but every time I watch this movie I cannot stop crying
5:10 "and condoms" the way Sangbum turned to Minha has me hollering 😭😭
Such an underrated short film ,,which is unique and far more better than lovey-dovey bl's
No matter what it is, because I have known people to attempt or be severely depressed, and me, I always cry when it come to SH..💔 wonderful movie
rewatching this again and again. my favorite bl short film and i can also relate to minha the most (being bullied, can't see myself as an adult and self harm...) i hope the actors will reunite they are so good together. i want a bl like this sad but at the same time comforting
Ending is just right! It hurts us not because they didn't get the happy ending that our hopelessness ass looking for but because it's the *reality* happening to this crucial world. Minha deserves better and so he doesn't deserve this world & neither those people who hurt him. Glad he left & choose peace over being with someone who can't fight for him which is now suffering for being coward.
Don't settle for less! Let people suffer from their stupidness & coward decision. It's always your choice if you take risk or not but once you lose the chance you can't get it anymore.
As a Chinese, I know very limited Korean, and I finally guessed the Korean meaning of title of the movie, dream of Peter Pan, from the last scene.
Fortunately, us gays like are treated much better in China, especially among the younger generation. Both of us have many friends supporting us. But my parents are still against me as a gay.
We do not hold hands in public, not wanting to attract unnecessary troubles. Nor do we tell collages about our relationship, afraid to have bad influence to the career.
It's sad that people suffer from discrimination just because they are not the same as the majority. Though everyone wishes Minha is just leaving the school, perhaps transferred to another school in another city, the reality is usually cruel. The cutting on his wrist had already implied his fate, and that's pure tragedy. He didn't do anything wrong. He was such a nice and brave boy, pursuing his love, but finally beaten by the unfair life. And in the end when Sangbeom was standing alone on the beach thinking about their past. Back then he believed things would be better once they became adults. But again, the reality is cruel. The fact is that the change of the society attitudes a will be so slow to any single person that things will never be better in his life.
Its really hard for me to think what happened about the boy who hates to live ,interesting short film it makes me cry a lot and also i like how the way they act🥺👌💪🏻
This was absolutely beautiful and well done and my god did it ruin my day :)) But we need more realistic representation like this. This is how it is and we shouldn't hide it. Anyways im gonna go cry now
He's always holding the hurt and the tears in and being strong for Beom. 😭😭😭
Me and my boyfriend have decided to watch it together after My exam. It really resonates with us
How are doing now,guys?
One of those stories that destroy you beautifully💔
OMG I WASNT EXPECTING THE ENDING 😭😭
This BL short tear me apart, I wasn’t able to stop crying for a while after the end, no need to say that acting and direction are amazing.
Peter Pan isn't meant to grow up 😢
You just ruined my whole life
Yes, Korea is still a very homophobic country but we’re making small progress even if it’s on a tiny scale. I hope that in future generations we’ll be able to provide a more loving and accepting environment for our fellow queer people. I haven’t watched the film yet but just wanted to share. Don’t ever keep fighting 💪🏼 We can be the change we want to see. You are cherished and appreciated 💖
The kpop industry make it seem like homosexuality is accepted in Korea due to how the fans fantasizes gay relationships towards the idols.
@@gee9883 True but fantasizing and fetishizing is very different from accepting.
the guy who plays minha is such a good actor.
im looking to all kim donghwi projects, and end up here 😭 as a fan of bl’s, this one is masterpiece!
Do you know their instagram?
I came here after watching him in Missing the other side 2. Is it only me who finds his looks to be a bit similar to Song Joong-Ki.
@@riidoyrrr @kimdonghwii and @__tlsql
Absolutely stunning. So glad I watched it. It will make you think. And cry.
Lost words to compliment this masterpiece, a great applause to the whole team!❤️
I’m literally sobbing so loud I didn’t expect a 30 minute movie to make me cry this much I love everything about this movie thank you❤️
I am not mentally prepared for this
I WANTED TO WATCH SOMETHING FUNNY TO GO TO SLEEP BUT IT ENDED UP THAT I CAN'T STOP TEARING UP
Life can be miserable enough without having to endure more misery watching this type of film, however truthful and well done.
다시 그 바다에서 민하가 페브리즈 잔뜩 뿌린 티셔츠를 입고 해맑게 이름을 부를 것만 같아서 더 슬퍼져요…😢
truly a moving film. it’s quite devastating, yet so real. i’m so grateful to all the people who took part in the creation of this poignant story, thank you.
Saw this last night on tiktok and went here to watch this short clip and my heart is breaking right now 😭💔
서로 다른 끝을 각오하고 온 여행이었구나
If possible I want them to meet again we don't know if minha is still alive or not but we want them together
For me,i don't want them to be together,but i do believe he is not death,..
DESERVE TO BE KNOWN
I was not ready for that ending 😭. I loved it though ❤
I think he killed himself,the last scene shows that he knew he won't be there when his man becomes an adult when he told him you do that.
this movie will allways have a special place in my heart. I relate to this movie so much, thank you for making this ❣
Thank you for sharing this beautiful short movie with us.
I don't know what to do anymore...His smile just killing me....
Thats a strong 30mins!😭
I'm so thankful this movie exists. Kudos to everyone who worked on this masterpiece. Just like another commenter said, I much prefer these stories over the fluffy cutsey ones. This, unfortunately, is the actual reality for many queer people. Seeing that side being represented in media, really helps people who are not part of the LGBTQ+ community understand the bad side of the queer experience and really helps them sympathize with us (instead of just going with what they're used to see). I think that can really help society accept us more, especially in countries that casts us as the rejects. Something I'd also like to point out, is that from my experience I haven't seen many movies or series that showcase self harm. As a gay man with self harm scars, this movie felt so real and I felt closer with the characters and the overall theme.
It's a lot of emotions 🥺🤧... don't have words to express how I feel after watching this it's a gem .
Ok so I may or may not be crying my eyes out! I guess I thought this was an amazing and sad movie I understood it really well and have been through those times and have almost done things I would have regret and I’m glad I dint anyone who’s struggling with anything know that someone out there love u! I love u ❤!!!
Everyone wants to be sympathize with such thing on online but the real point is how many of us are willingly want to accept them and treat them like normal couple who wants to be with their love. Love is indeed very complex emotions which is full guilt, pain, endurance and more.
It's 2 in the morning and I'm brawling my eyes out. This was truly a masterpiece.
After long time so much search , finally I watched this movie 😭 it's hurt but still I'm happy to see this, great emotion delivery ,such a beautiful short movie .
acting was really good
This short movie is so emotional and amazing 😭❤️
16:16 why do you cut yourself? Because I hate being alive.
That made my heart break, as someone who used to be severely depressed and still struggles a lot, that sentence pierced right through me. I’m so sorry for everyone who has felt and still feels that way.
I’m still waiting for the day where I can fully accept my feelings of being born in the wrong body. Perhaps we’re speaking about different feelings here but in my eyes, we share the exact same struggle. Coming out, not getting accepted, the self image you have of yourself, created by society that sees you as something not ‘normal’.
Losing the one you love by suicide is something I would never wish upon someone. As someone who recently had to go through this kind of loss, nobody and nobody deserves to feel like they are better off dead. It’s truly heartbreaking for the person struggling, and for the people they leave behind.
Anyways bawling my eyes out right now, such a short movie but it definitely left it’s message.
every bl has a happy ending but this depicts the harsh reality ♥️
I can't stop crying 😭 still this was so beautiful ♥️
This beautiful but deeply heart-wrenching short film hit me so hard. I am devastated.
Wow! This short 🎥 was cute and entertaining. Even though the ending was sad and heartbreaking😢, it still hit the mark of a entertaining 🎥.
As I wish everyone got their happy ending, there are people who can not survive.
Rest in Peace, Peter Pan.
Wow...what a story...life teach us hard sometimes..but only time will let's us being who we are... Superb
AND THIS IS REALLY A GOOD SHORT MOVIE.
the cinematography, plot, dialogue, their acting... i couldn't move on
What a beautiful little film this is. I really like how the actors do look like high schoolers and their acting is so good too.
WHY IS THIS SO UNDERRATED
i’m sobbing uncontrollably
Un vrai chef d'oeuvre cinématographique, engagé, et beau, témoignant de l'homophobie toujours présente dans la société Coréenne et malheureusement partout ailleurs dans le Monde.
Merci à toute l'équipe pour ce magnifique témoignage et un super bravo aux acteurs.
No... it doesn't get better when u become adult... it's worse... more eyes and more fingers pointed at you... 😢
It's beautiful and full of emotions... love is hard and surviving in our society is harder....😢
omg their acting feel so real....
They're just another version of birdy and jian from your name engraved herein. Both beautifully heartbreaking stories of forbidden love. If you haven't watched it pls do it's another masterpiece.
Oh, you're right!! And the peculiar aspect of this similarity is that they kinda have their personalities switched. Birdy reminds me of Minha and Jian is more like Beom
Minha= Peter pan as he can never grow...it upset me how minha died..and the concept of homophobes in this movie had me bawling my eyes out..I was hoping minha and beom would have a good ending:'(
This short movie just make me cry...so hearbreaking story in the beautiful way
His last smile broke my heart and made my tears rush
rewatching because i wanna make myself cry🫶🏾
日本からです。とても感動しました。鼻水でてます泣きました。これからも素敵な作品を作ってください。ほんとにありがとう
기대없이 봤다가 너무많이 울었다ㅠㅠ 오열할정도로
Thank you for this masterpiece
.. exellent leading actor .. a Masterpiece 👏👏👏👏👏
