refreshingly liberating... Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10

Knowing the condition of gay culture in Korea; the discrimination and social implications of being gay, the movie may serve as an iconic leap of faith, wherein one's sexual preference could be the verdict of either his downfall or future happiness. the contrast of the characters who shared the same line of emotion was successfully portrayed and that, i believe, made the movie an eye opener and as for the social relevance, who would argue that it has tackled one of the most important issues of our society all over the world. This movie is absolutely recommendable.

You will NOT Regret ! Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10

Wow! I have never seen a Korean movie like this before. The movie is daring in showing naked bodies and explicit love scenes. It also has a beautiful plot. The story of a poor guy to be loved by a rich guy, sounds like a beautiful fairy tale, isn't it? But love must face reality, too. Love doesn't always run smoothly. That's why the two main characters here have a long way to go, have problems they have to overcome, and sometimes also... feeling they have to deny. So... how about the ending? Well, just see it. Whether the ending is happily ever after or not, you will not regret watching it!

Haunting and unforgettable Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10

This is one of the best films to have come out of South Korea in the last few years - and certainly the most memorable gay-themed Korean movie to date. It's also proof that a miniscule budget (of reportedly just US$100,000!) needn't compromise artistic standards. The acting is wonderful (including the superbly talented Lee Young Hoon, who is simply heartbreaking), and Leesong Hee-il's script and direction are top-notch - all the more remarkable when one considers that this was the first feature-length film for both men. Yes, the film does take an unexpected narrative shift toward the end - one that may strike some first-time viewers as implausible - but subsequent viewings should enhance one's understanding of the reasons for this change. And while it's also true that the English subtitles could have been better, I certainly had no difficulty following them.

A great film - and one that I've returned to many times. I can't wait to see what the very gifted Leesong Hee-il comes up with next.

No regrets here! Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10

The bad news first... The English subtitles were the worst I have experienced this decade. Not since the 90's have I experienced subtitles that were so poor, the grammar and translation were equally bad.

The great news is that NO REGRET is exactly what I expect and want in a Korean film, a film that makes you feel like your heart has been ripped out after you're done watching it yet you want to go back and watch the movie over and over again. Unfortunately a lot of the current Korean movies are more like mainstream U.S. films instead of like the Korean films of the late 90's and the early 2000's that got Korean filmmakers noticed. Luckily NO REGRET didn't follow the current trend in Korea and stuck with an authentically Korean approach.

And I would agree with KNFW's, the other reviewer, perspective that this movie is a about that we all need love. The orphan story line is miniscule compared to the universal theme of everyone wanting someone to love and be loved and the barriers we erect to keep us from love/loving and getting hurt.

All the actors were excellent in the film, especially considering the difficult nature of the story. It always amazes me how Koreans will tackle such difficult social issues in their films but yet as a society remain in denial about them. Quite the opposite from the U.S. where we go to see fluffy/no brainer movies as a form of escapism from our lives and problems yet we tend to be much more inclined to deal with social ills as individuals and as a society. Bravo to the cast and crew of NO REGRET!!!

A must see Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10

I have watch this movie over and over again. It is superbly acted and directed. The story is real and moving. It would be a crime if it isn't distributed in the U.S. We all need love. The story is about how individuals build up walls to protect themselves and survive and at the same time hoping that someone would come along and break them down and love us. Both of the characters come from different backgrounds and eventually do this. It shows the plight of those who have nothing and will do anything to survive with "no regrets". It also shows the pressures which imprison those who have it all and try to maintain it. It is a gay story but I think all will be able to relate to it.
