Kimjho Gwang-soo is one of the most recognized Korean gay activist as well as a filmmaker. This is his feature debut as a director and producer. A queer movie that delivers the goods?humorous and touching?and fulfills the director’s wish for a more “open” society. A story of two people that masquerade as a couple to hide their homosexuality and keep their realloves intact. Minsoo who is gay and wants to escape from his meddling parents and Hyojin who is a lesbian and wants to adopt a baby are both doctors working at the same hospital. To fulfill their dire wishes, they decide to fake their nuptials. Their marriage is surrounded by episodes, some are humorous and others full of pathos. Unlike other films dealing with similar subject matter, focusing on the darker side of the spectrum, the director’s choice to keep things lighter and brighter is also a virtue. Watching these episodes with colorful gay and lesbian characters is fun in itself. Watching from a heterosexual’s perspective, we follow the “other” team and in the process learn that we are the one and the same. As with films such as <Brokeback Mountain>, <Happy Together> and <The King and the Clown>, good performances are par for the course. (JEON Chanil)
