Sumin is an orphan trying to balance work in a factory with study at an art college and an evening job. One night, a rich young businessman makes an advance on him during one of his driving jobs. They meet again the next day: it is during a round of redundancy cuts at the factory where Sumin refuses an attempt by a man (who is in fact the boss' son Jaemin) to save his job. Eventually, Sumin is seduced into working as a prostitute in an up-market boy-brothel as Jaemin's obsession with him grows, leaving Jaemin helpless in the face of his overwhelming desire. This is a film of bold sexuality, where unexpected passion, desire and misunderstandings wreak havoc of an operatic intensity.
Leave your thoughts about No Regret.
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasAs a love story, it could scarcely be more tempestuous and as an exposé of class differences and sexual hypocrisy it could hardly be more scathing -- or, more important, entertaining. |
| San Francisco ChronicleDavid WiegandA romantic drama that also offers smart commentary on class and economic differences. |
| TheDivaReview.comDiva VelezSexy, gritty and inspired, No Regret captures a love story so true and aching and unforgettable, it crosses gender lines completely. |
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsLouis ProyectInvites comparisons with "Brokeback Mountain", but this $100,000 Korean film is far better in every respect. Not to be missed. |
| New York PostV.A. MusettoThere is also a fair amount of boy-on-boy sex, which would be the main reason for seeing No Regret, no matter what your sexual orientation might be. |
| New York TimesNathan LeeIt is perverse that a movie concerned with objectification would reduce its hero to an object. |
| User ReviewAnne SDoes this was a happy ending for you? really enjoy this one. |

| User ReviewMya MFive stars are never enough for me to express how much I was touched by this beautiful film. It's the debut film of the South Korean Director Lee Song-hee-il. The film depicts the story of Su min from the country orphanage who comes to Seoul to study design. However, after several tough jobs, he unexpectedly ends up working as a prostitute in a gay bar. There he meets Jae-min. Su-min refuses Jae-min whoâ??s been trying everything he could to win Su-minâ??s heart. Jae-min is from a rich and conservative family that doesnâ??t accept his sexual identity. After experiencing a brief happiness as passionate lovers, Su-min and Jae-min fall into tragic situations. |
