Behind the Scenes(monologue)

Complete | monologue | 2018 released

It starts off with a toxic relationship between two actors ; Minki and Wonho. They were practically loving and inseparrable before but then Wonho changed because of his dying passion and desperation to act. While being in a relationship with Minki, Wonho's sleeping with other people as an excuse that it was just a "sponsorship" that uses sex for exchange. Minki grown tired of it and was tired of being controlled by Wonho. WH was being a possessive jerk and gets easily jealous with how Minki and Taeyoung interact, while he, himself sleeps with just anyone, and for Minki that's unfair. He then Taeyoung ; a model / actor who was a fan of him. He went to his fansigning event in hopes that he would meet his idol face to face, but, then fans recognized him as the famous Woo Taeyoung and it created a mess. Minki was about to go out of the venue, but then because of the fans uproar, a sign board hit him and was injured. He wanted to apologize and meet Minki in person ; so a noon of his set them up on a dinner. He was able to talk to him and say his apologies in person. He was also given a chance to extend their conversation by giving him a ride home, however, Wonho saw them both and was furious about it. WH raped MK that night.. and that's the start of MK being rebellious to WH. A director was planning a new project for Minki and Taeyoung ; a queer one and they were both casted as the lead actors. Wonho was very opposed to the idea. But Minki pushed it through and they was successfully casted tgt as the queer film's couple. Taeyoung wished it was real feelings and emotions because he poured his true feelings through his acting and it was very promising. However, for Minki it was very complicated.. Wonho keeps on lying to him and when he found out from Eunwoo ; (TY's cousin ; a ceo ; sponsor) that they were fooling around while having relationship with him, he got sick of it and eventually break it off with Wonho. Wonho and Eunwoo ended up in a very uptight relationship. It turned out good. Eventually, Wonho accepted Eunwoo's feelings and it was never a one-sided relationship anymore. Same with Minki and Taeyoung.. They ended up together and Minki's feelings were true this time. REVIEWS: Okay... I don't like it. I'll just give it 3/5 stars for the crappy story, art and effort from the author combined. But the story wasn't promising. It's your typical asian story full of third parties and cheating practices which aren't really healthy. It's happening in the real world, but, you know, we don't want real worlds here HAHA. I mean, it's too dark and too real for me. It doesn't even have lessons and character development. Wonho didn't feel sorry enough for all the shit he brought to Minki. All he did was to feel jealous of Minki, because he wasn't as successful as him. But that doesn't gave him the reason to look for "sponsors who exchanges sex in return" while having a lover. It's just unfair, in so many levels. If I were Minki, i'd feel dirty and dump him asap. But, Minki was too forgiving. They'd been together for 10 years and there was no stop to it. Because Minki keep on believing in Wonho's sweet nothings. Good thing that Taeyoung came to his life and loves him real, pure and with care. Not too demanding unlike Wonho. Minki was right in the last page, wherein he said "If you'll love someone, don't do to them what you have done to me." And, maybe that ticked off Wonho's shitty attitude. Plus, I don't really like the second pairing. First, Wonho was an aggressive top jerk, then, second he was this submissive jerk to Eunwoo and it felt... weird? for me. I mean, pick a damn struggle. I just like Taeyoung. His character was tooo nice and too kind to accept Minki and love someone who was broken from a break up. It will look like he's a rebound, but, he endured it all just because of love. And that's kdlmskladm. He sacrificed his feelings for Minki. Because for him, Minki deserved to be loved. And that's why he's there for him... And that's beautiful. Maybe my 3 stars was just purely for Taeyoung. Yep.
