Program Note
A popular webnovel that was adapted into a TV drama and a film, What She Likes... was also published in Korea under the title What She Likes Are Homosexuals, Not Me. High school student Jun is a closeted gay who is secretly dating an older man. His classmate Sae, who doesn′t know his secret, shows interest in him. One day, Jun runs into Sae at the bookstore and realizes that she enjoys yaoi manga. Now that Jun knows her secret, Sae develops even stronger feelings and confesses her love for him. Flustered, Jun ends up agreeing to date Sae, and the situation unfolds in an unexpected way. Rather than sweet romance befitting a school life drama featuring pretty boys and girls, the film asks serious questions about homosexuality. Instead of romance, a new level of friendship that comes from a deep understanding of each other blossoms beautifully as the characters overcome adversity. (NAM Dong-chul)
