a brothers without tomorrow Jan 26 2021 7:03 am Can you make another drama or movie BL? And the cast is Ayano Go and Okada Kenshi

ki duk kim May 29 2013 4:57 pm Childhood trauma, torn between hate and love but the heart is opened by an angelic, forgiving girl who knows and trusts her heart wishes. She falls deeply in love with this "villain" who is a lost and never knew motherly love. The search and struggle to be intimate with another. Most people around him are in denial of their own humanity and project blame outward. But a few find their way through the tragedy and arrive at forgiveness. The villain is within us all. A quiet but deeply moving film on the depths and heigts of human existence and sense of being human. Highly recommended.

TOK Dec 12 2011 7:52 pm a school girl in his movie 'Chong' is naturally beautiful. I wonder about her name and her new stuff.

Anyway, the director is known for making movies of koreans living in Japan (i.e Zainichi).

I think he should watch 'GO' japanese movie and 'Our School' Korean documentary.
