Comment:

It's beautiful. I didn’t know much about this film so that I could have fun with this, but actually I expected more. As a romantic drama, it's so well done. I really sympathise with both of them. For instance, they have never been able to open their relationship, of course including their feelings, and they got married with woman because they were under their circumstances. How can they avoid that? It's impossible. Even though this day and age, some people can't come out from their closet, and there are more people than you can think of. Lastly, I’ve never thought about such ending.
